Steven Boykey Sidley reviews 'Inside your body there are flowers' by Diane Awerbuck karavanpress.com/2024/06/21/ste…

The History of Love - Available! bookcrossing.com/journal/9755168 via Toby Pole

Watched Conclave Labia Theatre last night. Incredible cinematography. Starring a masterful Ralph Fiennes. What I'm left with is interesting and thought-provoking moments. Certainty is dangerous, doubt is better. The war to be won is within ourselves. Umbrellas as visual language.

"Style is a very simple matter; it is all rhythm. Once you get that, you can’t use the wrong words. [H]ere am I sitting after half the morning, crammed with ideas, and visions, and so on, and can’t dislodge them, for lack of the right rhythm." Ursula Le Guin, via Goodreads

A plea for 'new writer' awards - please don't assume these writers have to be young. Many pursue writing as 2nd or 3rd careers - new in writing but rich in experience. And many readers/viewers would like novels and dramas with that richness. No #ageism, please, in writing awards

#SundayBestReadWithConsuelo “He doesn’t know to want for more because nothing in his life has been as much as this...on that night he thinks that no one has ever had so much and only later will he know he should have asked for more.” ― Ann Patchett, Bel Canto

Fantastic achievement for everybody involved! x.com/JacanaMedia/st…

#SundayBestReadwithConsuelo He advances on her and she feels herself ransacked from top to bottom, flooded with relief, assaulted by happiness. How astonishing this is. How close to dismay. - Alice Munro, Runaway, "Chance"
