If you haven't already done so, do read all the great comments on yesterday's post. They demonstrate how we range from those with minimalist tendencies where books are concerned to those acquisitive 'clutteralists' one might call them at the opposite end of the scale. Whichever side we tend towards we are not alone!
As to the exhausting dreams, last night's involved H.M. the Queen and the awful realisation that I had been introduced to her and had failed to curtsey. I was mortified!
On the changing of the seasons, I saw the first skein of geese flying south the other day, and for a very fine book about a journey following the birds, read William Fiennes's The Snow Geese.
The Graveyard Book is being consumer-tested by Harriet who is quite taken with it already (we may get a proper review from her at some point), and the more I think about it the more I see the infuence of The Jungle Books which Neil Gaiman mentions as having been so important.

I just bought 'Stardust' which I'm very much looking forward to reading, as I loved the film!
Dreams are odd, aren't they? I once had one about my very single headmistress in a wedding dress berating me about my choice of coffee. I'd been out of school four years by then!
