The painting you chose is amazing. I am so used to seeing paintings of people reading in rigid, rather uncomfortable positions. This woman looks comfortable and engrossed in her book. She isn’t putting it down when the tea comes, she might shift position slightly, but that is it.
Oooh I'm so glad you noticed the painting. Picking art with people reading is one of my favorite parts of doing my book notes posts. I agree, she looks so very absorbed in her book-- my kind of reader. I also really loved the warmth of the flowers and the sun and the textiles, the kind of colors I crave at this time of year.

I always had a secret wish that Brother Cadfael was a REAL person. 😊 lovely list for November! Thank you!!
Oh yes. He feels so very real. And I would love to know him.
Ooh, setting this aside to read closely as soon as I'm able. I can tell there are several new-to-me books I'll be putting on hold...
