#234 I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith is one of my very favorite books. I haven’t treated myself to a re-read in years. This is my mother‘s copy that I grew up reading and that I may or may not have borrowed and “forgotten” to return.

#227 I loved The Everlasting - both the story of heroes and villains and the idea that a nation is a story that we tell about ourselves.
