Lots of avid readers at DG...Know this from the chatroom. What do ya'll think of a book forum? Good Reads or Bookworm, or something like that?

As long as some plant is mentioned *somewhere* in the text, it'd be fair game. LOL.

O, Webmaster Great, with thine magic mouse clicker, what do thou sayest? :o)

I love the idea of a Bookworm thread. It would be great if DG readers would post the name and author along with a short synopsis of the book. I received The Tulip by Anna Pavord for Mother's Day. I would love to post a synopsis after I finish reading the book. (Of course, that will probably be sometime in October. Gardening takes precedence over reading about gardening!)

I'd like to tell everyone about the Little Madeleine books, written by Mrs Robert Henrey, around the 1950s. They are autobiographies, and I think anyone who likes gardening would love them, not just because of the gardening in them (of which there is a lot when she tells about the little farm she bought in Normandy), but because of the way they describe the ordinary things in life - food, gardens, dressmaking, the hopes and dreams of an ordinary woman from when she was young right up to when she became a grandmother. They give you a real feeling of how precious everyday life is, and how valuable are our own person experiences, no matter how simple. I don't think you can get them in the shops now, but I got them in the library and reading them was like coming home.
