April Roundup


This picture of King Lear's Fool was drawn by Hannah Tompkins and I have used it for April, being the month of April Fools Day, and also to celebrate these essential characters in Shakespeares plays. You can see other images by this artist on the Shakespeare Art Museum website.
Read - three quarters of a book.
Completed - none
Currently reading - still Emma by Jane Austen
TBR Pile - 81 books (according to Good Reads) with one book added...
Birds Without Wings by Louis de Berniers
Challenges - still reading Emma as my Jane Austen choice, but have also been looking at potential Emile Zola titles too.
Wishlist Additions -
The Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri
Grace by Alex Preby
The Prince of Mist by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
The Girl with Glass Feet by Ali Shaw
Of Bees and Mist by Erick Setiawan
Discoveries -
The Open University has 2 new under graduate arts courses...
AA100 The Arts Past and Present is the new arts foundation course at level 1
A150 Voices and Texts is a new introductory course in arts and humanities at level 1
Both of these sound very interesting.
Events - going to see Shakespeares A Comedy of Errors at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester at the beginning of the month.
May is already underway, I have nearly finished Emma, and have lots of things to report on for next months roundup, including my trip to London this weekend just gone.
