What book are you reading?

Sprinkles

I took a look at the first few pages in miscellaneous but couldn't see a reading one so thought I would make my own. Blush 

I like books. I love the smell, like you get in a library. I do struggle with reading, my brain can't always process everything I read which makes it challenging but I still enjoy a good book.

I'm a big Disney fan. Possibly the biggest in the world! I've got a book on Frozen, written by one of the women who worked on it. The cover and pictures inside are beautifully done. It's one of my favourites. I've read it so many times.

  • The John Nathan-Turner Production Diary 1979-1990: the day to day graft of getting Doctor Who made in a changing BBC over a decade.

    I also keep meaning to start a book called 'Technic and Magic' after hearing it outlined on a podcast. It's a philosophical book, and I have borrowed it from the library in which I work. 

    I have a few other things queued up that I somehow keep putting off (burnout, rumination filling up the hours), including a revisit to a book I read when I was 11 years old and off sick with the flu: Devil on the Road by Robert Westall. It's what these days you'd call YA fiction I suppose, but was written in  1978. I just remember being engrossed in it but I'd love to know if its fever dream feel came from me being unwell, its own potency as a piece of writing, or a fusion of both. 

    I have a book on Hauntology and Folk Horror that I've yet to properly go through, and  also one called  The Old Weird Albion: "a dark love song to the English South; a poetic essay interrogating the high, haunted landscape of the South Downs Way; the memories, myths and forgotten histories from Winchester to Beachy Head." It's a kind of side-project to this mesmerising album:
