I am HERE for posts about books! Also if you liked All the Light we Cannot See you should read his next novel, Cloud Cuckoo Land. I avoided it for months thinking it sounded... something. A bit strained, a bit pretentious, maybe? I was wrong. I finished it standing in the kitchen because I Had To Do Things but couldn't bear to put it down. An incredible book.
And portrait lessons, what a wonderful idea. You are an inspiration Diana!
So good Kate, glad you have found the worlds to enter through stories that other people are writing. I’ll send you a list of books I’ve read and loved this year, each with brief synopsis. Xxxxx I’m learning to draw portraits. I’ve had two lessons. I’ve done DB’s portrait. He’s hardly recognisable. Xxxx
Wow portrait drawing, that's exciting! I recently read this substack on learning how to draw, and why we can be so hamstrung when things don't "look right". You might enjoy it.
