A bag-filler heading to Orange.

thankyou so much for all of the travelling companions - one book leaves my home this week and 7 arrive - that's some inbalance...

i've read most modjeska's work, including some of her essays in other published places so i look forward to reading these - and as bonus this is the right size to tuck in with another book travelling osmewhere

happy reading
;)
