Jasmine, A Common Reader
I appreciate classic literature, Jane Austen, second-hand book shopping and a good cup of tea. My 'Favourites' shelf represent the books which formed the person behind these words.

My eternal desire for book buying has, once again, been satisified for the moment. I think it was the ‘3 books for £1’ which broke me… Anyway, here’s my somewhat eclectic haul this week:
- Dylan Thomas Collected Poems 1934-1952.
- Flowers on the Grass by Monica Dickens.
- The Pursuit of Love by Nancy Mitford. (the only one that strictly speaking I needed to buy…)
- The Painted Veil by W. Somerset Maugham.
- The Princess and the Politicians: Sex, Intrigue and Diplomacy in Regency England, by John Charmley. (a cheeky bit of history for good measure, and who can resist such a title?!)
