Icelandic knitting, scandinavian interiors, Cuba and Dorothy Parker? How splendid - I only wish you could be at my local library.

Hi Anon, thank you for the kind comment. Not sure who said I wrote for a paper - unfortunately not true. But as I have so much in my head and want to write something every day right now, I'll be posting daily - like a pretend newspaper column or something!
Will definitely check out the kimbofo reading blog.

I've only just discovered your blog, and love it. I worked in a library once, and can identify with what you write. The blog that recommended yours mentioned that you write for a paper ... can you tell us more, would like to read your articles.

Whole blogpost in this Suse. But briefly -
chick lit (should be on the paperback stand with the Mills and Boons NOT sliming up next to
the good stuff), the later Patricia Cornwells (multiples, no-one reads them, they're awful),
lots of 3rd rate stuff ( publishers blurbs on the jackets say "writes like
Binchy/Trollope/Rowling"...they don't and no-one is fooled), dated late 90s early 00s American Judith Krantzy pot boilers. Anything with yellowy pages, bad binding. I could go on,
but you get the picture.

So, what did you turf out? Spill.
