I’m excited to get started! I’ll begin with The Literature of Wales by Dafydd Johnston. Waiting for my copy of One Moonlit Night to arrive for the group read. I wrote a post on what I plan to read here https://chriswolak.com/2020/03/01/march-reading-plans-dewithon20/ Thanks for hosting!
I spotted your post, Chris, and linked to it above. I hope you have a super Dewithon! 😃
I’ll try hard to join in. If nothing else, I have a huge love of R.S. Thomas’s poetry so I could dig out some of my collections of his work…. ;D
I would love for you to join in (the poetry of RS Thomas would be fabulous) but will quite understand if you’re too busy. 😊
Look forward to hearing your thoughts on R.S
I hope to join in, but it will probably be more to the end of the month. I have a book in mind but will keep shtum for now.
I’m so pleased you will be taking part again, Jonathan, and I’m very curious to know your chosen book.
Thanks for taking the initiative on this again this year Paula. I hope to do better than I did last year 🙂
Weren’t you globetrotting last year, Karen? Anyhow I hope you have an enjoyable Dewithon. 😃
You have a wonderful memory, yes, this time last year I was in New Zealand
Enjoy it.
Thank you so much, Susie. 😊
Your welcome.
Though one of the first off the mark, Paula, I’ve not decided yet what I’ll go for next. It’ll probably be a surprise to me as much as to anybody else!
Exciting!
Yay! I’ll be watching this space closely, Paula! 🙂
Thank you, Ola. 😃
Hooray! Really looking forward to everyone’s posts. I’ve read a wonderful novella by a Welsh author so I’ll be posting on that as soon as I can get it written up 🙂
That’s excellent news, Madame B. I look forward to your post. 😃
Thank you for adding the link to my poetry post, Paula. I am currently sitting beside the gatepost waiting for delivery of my copy of One Moonlit Night.
It’s a pleasure, Gretchen. Thank YOU!
I hope your copy of Moonlit Night arrived and you’re not still sitting by the gatepost! 😲
…still sitting here…must be coming by slow boat… 🙂
I’ve just posted my review of Gronw’s Stone, a poetry collection. I think it fits the bill!
Great post, Cath. Many thanks. 😃
Thank you 🙂
A belated Happy St David’s Day to you, Paula. Best of luck with the Readathon. 🙂
Thank you, Clare. 😊
🙂
Geat post. I’am new to this blog and I loved your website and content. Best of luck with the Readathon.
Thank you so much! 😃
