Mini eBook haul set to Merival’s Calendar! I’ve been in such a 1940’s, “Stand by our men, We Can Do It, Land Girls” mood. To satiate those tastes I have a cup of Typhoo tea and: The Spitfire Girls by Soraya M. Lane, War Brides by Helen Bryan, and My Dear Bessie: A Love Story in Letters edited by Simon Garfield (Non-Fiction...heads up- the audiobook is narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch (Chris) and Louise Brealey (Bessie) It is GOLD!). For all other dreamy moods I have: Love in a Cold Climate by Nancy Mitford, If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino , and I am Mrs. Jesse James by Pat Wahler. My cozy factor is up a billion percent. I think I’ll start with Spitfire Girls. I’ve got tea, snow fall, and Star Trek: Discovery playing in the background. Lovely. #cozy #bookstagram #bookstahaul #bookhaul #nancymitford #italocalvino #patwahler #sorayamlane #chrisandbessie #simongarfield https://www.instagram.com/p/Buj_2H2H5Pm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a4fvvsvcyr7k

I do love translating; it is the pure pleasure of writing without the misery of inventing.
