The other book I was waiting for arrived today. It's Mark Forsyth's new one, The Elements of Eloquence, which is a departure from his previous works because it isn't a collection of odd, interesting or amusing words. This one is about stringing words together well - that is, the figures of rhetoric.
I was pleased when it arrived, but I was thrilled when I got home and opened it to find that IT'S AUTOGRAPHED!!! I gasped and sat there, mouth agape, for about a minute. Now I don't feel so bad about ordering it online from Book Depository, which I only did because it isn't available here yet and I had to get my mitts on it.
I can't start reading it until I finish my current book, and The Little Prince, but it's going straight to the top of my still-to-read pile.
Another NaBloPoMo in the bag
That's my third - or is it fourth? - NaBloPoMo over and done with. It has had the intended aim of getting me back into the groove of regular blogging, although I would have done a better job of it if I wasn't plagued by fatigue and headaches, and hadn't left it so late in the day to write my posts. (I will get to that word nerd post.)
I was half-expecting no one would still be reading after my absence, so thank you for not forsaking me, and for taking the time to comment (especially you, Lindy!). I'm still terrible at replying to comments, but I do read them all.

I wondered if that's what you were waiting on! Look forward to seeing what you think.
As I said, I have enjoyed having you back in my feed - I meant to comment more, but it's been a busy month. I'm not sure how I managed to blog so much last year!
Thanks Jayne. Love your blog. I'm just so pleased you are back on deck again. :-)
