The Soggy Coo

I'm passionate about books, horses, music, food and I love to travel. If you're interested in these things and want to kill some time for a while, then I'm happy for the company.

“Secondhand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack.”
—Virginia Woolf (via awritersruminations) (via unwrittenwords)

You must write every single day of your life… You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads… may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.
— Ray Bradbury (via doubledaybooks)

Since I’ve been watching the series Sherlock it’s got me thinking about Arthur Conan Doyle again. I knew he’d lived in Surrey at one point and it got me searching online. I didn’t realise that the house he lived in for over 10 years is at risk of being redeveloped into flats. The Undershaw Preservation wants to restore the house back to its former glory and turn it into an Arthur Conan Doyle/Sherlock Holmes museum.

Just finished reading The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold.  I really loved it.  It’s not often I find something to read that I really, really get absorbed and caught up in. I’m probably the last person in the world to read this book, it was something a friend recommended for me. Honestly, I think I’ve walked past this book so many times before and not given it a second thought.  But I’m glad I’ve read it now!
So back to hunting a new read! Which books are your favourites?  The ones you couldn’t put down?  Which book should I read next?
