I only do the Twaddle posts if I skip (or miss) doing my Malarkey, in other words. <br /><br />I don't know about whether the word "twaddle" is used more in the UK but I read a book by Rowan Coleman in 2007, The Accidental Mother, and I loved it. I'll have to look up this book. You know my love of felines. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-34425500139200488712018-03-19T14:51:29.017-05:002018-03-19T14:51:29.017-05:00I came looking for a Tuesday Twaddle post, and thi...I came looking for a Tuesday Twaddle post, and this seems to be your most recent. You don't do these as often as Monday Malarkey posts. Just wanted to tell you that the most recent book I finished actually used the word "twaddle" twice! Yes, twice. I immediately thought of you. It's such a good word, you know. This novel was set in London, so is it a word more likely to be used there? I dunno, but here's a look at the book, which I rated 8 of 10, a very good book. Actually, it was the cat's adventures I enjoyed most, even though that was only a small part of the story. I have a post entitled "This cat gets around" ready to go on my blog just after midnight Eastern Time tonight, but here's the first quote along with the title, just for you:<br /><br /><b>We Are All Made of Stars</b> ~ by Rowan Coleman, 2015, fiction (England), 8/10<br />"Shadow, the very unofficial hospice cat, has emerged out of nowhere again. Pitch-black with no markings at all, and huge emerald green eyes. No one knows where he comes from or when he will come. He just appears when he pleases, knowing that when he does he will be made a huge fuss of by everyone who meets him. He's large, clearly looked after by someone, someone who probably has no idea of the humanitarian (or feline-tarian?) missions he goes on throughout the day" (p. 19).Bonnie Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07813549471704485150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-73387156799669810042018-02-20T14:41:53.405-06:002018-02-20T14:41:53.405-06:00It was easy because the store is so big that it...It was easy because the store is so big that it's overwhelming. The classics fit an entire aisle (about 6 bookshelves?) and wrapped around onto the next aisle. It's a BIG secondhand bookstore!!! <br /><br />Isn't it? I love lighthouses.
