Today I am not here but here: http://www.powderroomgraffiti.com/love-it/books/the-emperors-babe-by-bernadine-evaristo.html
it's a book review of a wonderful work, and not very long. I won't be hurt at all if you don't go over. Not much.

Well it won't let me comment so I guess you need to be in the gang. Speaking as a beret-wearing poet, I lenjoy what Bernadine Evaristo has to say in Mslexia so maybe...

I'm not a poetry lover but that sounds great!! I have added it to my 'to be bought list' (Chris is not letting me buy any more books till I've read the ones I have so I now have a TBB list instead of a TBR pile).

Actually, one of my favourite books ever is written in prose and I have a sneaky suspicion that you might really like it!! It's called 'The Wild Party' by Joseph Moncure March and it's the book that made William Burroughs want to be a writer!! (Now there's a claim to fame!!). It's set in the late 20's (it was actually banned in Boston at the time) and follows the story of two vaudeville performers who's unhealthy relationship comes to a head during a wild party. It's absolutely wonderful (really fast paced) and the illustrations by Art Spiegelman really add something extra special to it!!

Let me know if you give it a go (and I'll let you know what I think of this one when I'm allowed to buy books again :-D)

Just so you know I had already been over there before you told me too :) Sounds like an intriguing book - will have to check it out.

Off to have a wee look now (thinking, if it's poetry, I just hope it won't be too long). Just so you won't feel hurt.

Thank you, Milla, from another card-carrying black beret wearer. Great to see this review.

How can I possibly find the time to read all the wondrous words in the books that you tell me about? I've just checked out The Secret Scripture from my lovely library, and already am worried about the due date.

Thank you for encouraging some very good habits. xo

I enjoyed your review and might even read the book, despite the fact that a lot of poetry 'goes over my head' - well done, Milla.

Hello again, Milla,

I am hereby tagging you in yet another meme. Hoping that you will want to take part.

Great review but much as I love poetry this doesn't appeal.

Sordel said...

How little you know your readership, Milla!

When someone at a party tells me that they have just read a great book, it is only the fear of upsetting a table of half-filled glasses that prevents my running screaming for the door.

Karen said...

Brilliant review - made me want to read it anyway :o) I've even ordered a beret.

Great writing Milla - tried writing one of your own? I don't know about the book but I loved it's review!
