out on the wild, windy moors

I belong to a book group....yes, I admit it.

This month we are mostly reading 'Wuthering Heights' which I am finding impossible to peruse without Kate Bush singing in my head alongside the confusing and, frankly, blustery narrative.

I tried to read WH at school although I can't remember whether it was for an exam or not. I remember getting confused by the families and who belonged where. I have just finished chapter seven and I'm confused already. It doesn't take much.

I do like the wildness of the moors though, the bleak, windy, muddiness of it all. It's made a change from the Ralph-Lauren styled 'Bodysurfing' which was last month's choice. It was all a bit New England and driftwood for my liking. I like a family that really rows and shouts and hurls wild dogs around.

I got Kate Atkinson's latest from the library and I'm keen to get on with that really. I've loved her work ever since the museum book. The house reminded me of my nan's place. Is that a good thing? Not sure.

As I am starting my part-time job shortly my amazon wishlist is growing ever-longer and ever more craft-geek-like. I have, however, resisted the checkout. I am going to be good and wait until my first payslip arrives before pressing the button of creative inspiration.

Top of my list should be a book about making your blog more interesting. How do people make those lovely lists and link to books and things? It's a mystery.
