- 21 Jan 2025, 22:40Hope you're having a lovely birthday, and I hope the year ahead of you will be a good one. (Well, as good as possible, given who took office yesterday.)
- 9 Jan 2022, 14:37That sounds wonderful. I sense some inspiring reading in my future!
- 9 Jan 2022, 13:57Excellent, will add to box. It's a great book, super practical and useful. The only reason I'm giving it up is that we're not urban (or even suburban) any more :)
- 9 Jan 2022, 13:55For sure, PM me your address :)

Thank you! I would love the Dracula series and the books on home repair! 💕💕
Edit: There's only one with "repair" in the title, is that the one? Are there others as well that you want?

Thank you! Yes the one on furniture repairs and the about composting. I'd love those. I appreciate this so much. Pm-ing you now.
Do you want that one as well?
I also used to use a great article that compared the two works as a critique of the classism, etc in HP. Really convincing. You might enjoy it:
Galway, Elizabeth. "Reminders of Rugby in the Halls of Hogwarts: The Insidious Influence of the School Story Genre on the Works of J. K. Rowling." Children's Literature Association Quarterly, vol. 37, no. 1, Spring 2012, pp. 66-85
Would you be willing to send a few north of the ice wall? If so, I'd be keen to find some shelf space for Mantel's 'Bring up the bodies', and 'The Echoing Green: The Garden in Myth and Memory'.
That would be awesome! Thank you! Gardening was something I had never done until the pandemic, but I find it immensely comforting. But I know so little about it. It's a steep learning curve. That sounds like a great book to have.
That sounds wonderful. I sense some inspiring reading in my future!
