My Gracious Silence

Read:
The Provincial Lady in America - E M Delafield - finished on a morning commute
The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop - Lewis Buzbee - some more bedtime reading
Mystery Mile - Marjory Allingham
The Crime at Black Dudley - Marjory Allingham

Bought:
None - haven't been anywhere near a store.

No more exam scripts - apart from the 33 or so that I need to moderate this weekend - but work has somewhat overpowered posting in favour of reading. Even the commuting hasn't given much time for reading - the trains have been so full this week that there has been no room to hold a book up to read. Unfortunately, I'm not exaggerating. Fortunately, it's only a 20 minute train journey, otherwise it would be absolutely unbearable. At the moment, it's only relatively unbearable.

The Marjory Allinghams are a gorgeous edition (Felony & Mayhem publishers), and useful size to carry around.

Have now just reviewed books bought list in previous entries. Did I really buy two copies of Sleeping Murder? I can only see one. Must have bought something else and confused it when looking for the books to list in the entry. I hope ...

Read:
The Provincial Lady in America - E M Delafield - soothing, and very funny
184 exam scripts ... AND I HAVE FINISHED!!!! Not that I'm ecstatic or anything you understand, but the champagne/whisky/beverage of your choice is on me

Bought:
None. With that many scripts marked and a 4 hour rehearsal attended this afternoon, book purchasing time was reduced to less than zero.
