\"PJB_classics\"<\/p>\n

It’s been so long since I came in here to the (blog)house library<\/a> to let you know what I’m reading. And the reason is that I am in the midst of writing my second book. I can’t read and write at the same time.<\/p>\n

But! I love to read. So how to get around this? Well, I found a way. I have found that I can read French comics<\/a> or childhood classics – I’ve noticed that if the books are written in old English or in another language altogether, then I can manage to get my reading fix without it interfering with my work. So lately I’ve been carrying around these penguin classics<\/a> which I’ve been buying at WhSmith<\/a> in Paris. I’ve just finished The Secret Garden<\/a> by Frances Hodgson Burnett which I hadn’t read for 20 years or more. What a fabulous, fabulous book. If you have not read this book then please, please do. It is incredibly inspiring. I forgot how great it is.<\/p>\n

And now I am reading Treasure Island<\/a> by Robert Louis Stevenson. I have never read this one, and so far, I’m loving it.<\/p>\n

This little series of classics is great – perfect for traveling or carrying around in your handbag, cheap (only 3.40euro), and made from 100% recycled paper. I’m inspired by the books themselves, and I’m thinking I might make something from their pages once I’m finished. When I do, Ill be sure to show + tell my creation(s) here in the (blog)house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
