Good morning you all.
I’ve been pretty busy,
the cold is also,
back,
brrr,
yuck.
To which I say,
‘It’s February genius, what do you expect!”
I have been juggling books all week,
reading,
Study In Scarlet,
before bed,
a few pages,
every day of Susan Sontag’s On Photography,
which I am particularly,
interested in,
given my new photography,
well,
let’s call it,
what it is,
obsession
ð
almost finished,
Jeff O’Brien’s The Couch Sessions,
which I should write about,
on the weekend.
Have been enjoying,
Zoe Amos’s Superior,
an adventure romance,
which I will also be writing about,
soon.
But,
the big thing,
this week,
is the re-reading of Helene Hanff’s,
The Duchess Of Bloomsbury Street,
in preparation,
for something,
that has me major,
hyped,
excited,
nervous,
yep,
all of those,
I will be participating,
in my first podcast!
Ok,
so let me tell you about it.
On face book,
I have been part of a group,
known as:
Friends of Helene Hanff,
because of my undying love,
for her works,
especially,
as those of you, who have been following, the blog for a while, know,
84, Charing Cross Road,
which,
I believe,
may be,
my favourite book.
It certainly is the book,
I have read most often,
and,
my pleasure,
in it,
has in no way,
diminished,
with time.
So long story short,
a fellow member,
asked me to be friends,
on face book,
and,
I accepted,
I don’t always accept,
I check to see,
if we have friends,
in common and stuff,
but,
this time,
I accepted,
right away,
I liked her face.
After a few days,
she contacted me,
and,
told me about her website,
http://beabehn.com
and about her,
âWomen AâLoud!â,
We are Women AâLoud! and We are Reading Through It!
Women AâLoud! is a weekly broadcast that spotlights women through words, writing, reading, and wit. We capture a glimpse of our world every week through a few unique segments:
and,
she asked me to,
participate in a discussion,
of,
the great Helene’s work.
I listened to some of the broadcasts,
you should too, informative and lighthearted, nice vibe,
so again,
long story,
not so short,
ð
on Sunday,
we will be skyping,
and,
the broadcast will air pretty soon.
So, that’s what I have been,
up to
ð
I will post,
all the details,
pretty soon,
but,
I wanted to tell,
you all,
about it,
’cause it’s important to me,
and,
I thought you might get,
a kick out of it.
Later girls,
BB
