Dorothy Parker was a member of the Algonquin Round Table, American writers who regularly got together at the bar of the Algonquin Hotel. She and the great American humorist and writer Robert Benchley were among those who were entertained by the Murphys in France before the war. Parker was employed at the New Yorker for a time and had stories published in the magazine. The hey day was the twenties-forties. Here Lies Dorothy Parker and several period histories and biographies have made good reading over the years. She and Benchley both did some screenwriting.
A great start to the day, a cup of tea in bed, watching the wind blow a gale, and adding to my tbr lists from your video. I love the addition of poetry.
looking forward to digging out my copy of Thomas Hardy. Thanks for the encouragement to read it. i have his whole collection to get to although have ready many of them.
I’m new sub, I’ve enjoyed listening to your reviews. You actually informed me of Tracy Chevalier’s new read. I hadn’t heard a word about it until I watched your video review! I can’t wait to read it. She is one of my favorite authors. Thanks.❤

I've just finished reading North Woods by Daniel Mason. I can't recommend it enough. A ghost story but also full of humanity.
I thought is was brilliant too! 🙏🙏🙏🩵🩵🩵📚📚📚
I loved Two on a Tower. I found it at a used bookstore and it was a Hardy I was unfamiliar with. It has all the Hardy elements I love.
Indeed it does 🙏🙏🙏📚📚📚🩵🩵🩵
I have Lily on my on my tbr, so it was nice to hear your thoughts. Love your jumper. The colour really suits you.
Have a good reading month 😊
