The top of my #nonfiction #tbr pile...hoping to get to a bunch of these in August
This is another snapshot from Gene's Books in Sanibel Island. I couldn't get a photo to do it justice (mostly because I was so absorbed in book browsing), but this quirky shop is three buildings stuffed full to literally overflowing with nothing but books. Owned by an absurdly wealthy book hoarder who retired to the island, profits don't matter and the selection is unbelievable. One could actually spend days in this shop.
Weekend book buy! I read through a couple of the letters he sent home from boarding school while I was in the bookshop and knew I needed to buy this one (and it has lots of photographs 👍🏼).
These letters are amazing. Roald Dahl holds a very special place in my heart and always will. #2017readingchallenge #bookofletters
I loved this book of Roald Dahls letters to his mother. It was so good. I really love books of letters. I would love any suggestions for books of letters to read!
Really enjoying this book. I love books with old letters! #sundayreads
Halfway through #LoveFromBoy and it is PHENOMENAL. If you thought Roald Dahl was great before, just read his sweet and funny letters home. You'll love him even more.
@penguinrandomhouse sent this to me as an ARC. If you are a big Dahl fan get this book as soon as it is available. If you know a history buff who is into the African theatre of WWII, get it for them. It would have been super cool if there had been more information about his time in MI-5/6 but that is for another book.

Good luck to everyone who is doing the #readathon. Today it's too hot to go out, the heat index will be 109. So I'll stay in with my iced coffees and read the evolution of Dahls's writing. Keep the wangdoodles and snozwangers away whilst reading. 🐸
Fascinating, funny and completely absorbing. Dahl had an incredible life and to view it through his perspective is a joy.
