Extra comfort for election day #reading

Today is election day in Portugal and the future seems quite dark, asking for extra comfort and minimising anxiety.

I’ve been re-reading Dorothy L. Sayers’ Lord Peter, which is who one thinks is a good friend. The books are also funny and, most important,  things are cleared and end well (considering this is crime fiction :-)).

I started this re-read last year and after the first volume, read other books (I’m doing the same re-read with Austen and the Brontes), but after reading the second in the series, I can’t put them down and I’m starting the next as soon as I finish one. I’m now almost at the end of The unpleasantness at the Bellona Club and have the next in order of publication ready, which is Lord Peter views the body (12 short stories).

I’m also adding a spicy rooibos hot tea (it’s so cold here, both outside and inside!) and watching/listening one of the lovely Ali channels (go there and check both of her YouTube channels, I find her content so comforting!) while I’m reading.

The photo shows old Portuguese editions of the two books mentioned over an old dark wood side table with a salmon crochet doily. There's also a mobile phone with the YouTube channel mentioned on an yellow 3D printed holder. The table also has a vase with a flower painted and a stack of books at the back on the other side. There also a cup with the tea.

'What sort of nib did he use, when he did write?'
'A "J" pen, my lord.'
Dorothy L. Sayers, The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club
#DipPens #JPen #DorothyLSayers #LordPeterWimsey

A black dip nib marked with a silver J, in a stained nib holder, the brown coating of which is cracked and peeling. It rests on a sheet of lined paper. Above the pen, in brown ink and irregular handwriting, are the words "This is a J pen made by William Mitchell" and below it in the same ink and writing, the words "William Mitchell J pen".

#FotoVorschlag 'Glocken'

Eines meiner Lieblingsbücher. Lange nicht gelesen, und es wird auch dauern, bis ich die ganze Reihe wieder genießen kann. Aber ein richtig gutes Buch, besonders, wenn man Interesse an Glocken hat.

Não me esqueci do aniversário da Dorothy L. Sayers no dia 13 de Junho, escolhendo estes 4 livros, mas o dia ficou complicado e acabei por não partilhar. Copywriter em publicidade, foi fundadora e presidente do The Detection Club, e é uma das minhas autoras de policiais favoritas.

Livro publicado nos anos 80 com as primeiras colaborações dos membros do The Detection Club, originalmente criadas para a rádio (BBC). O livro é amarelo e estás sobre uma mesa de madeira.O livro Square Haunting Verde sobre uma mesa de madeira. O livro parte de um local onde várias escritoras para falar sobre elas, incluindo Sayers.Um livro com capa roxa em cima de uma mesa de madeira. O livro reúne as críticas que Sayers publicava em jornais sobre os policiais que iam sendo publicadosO livro Mutual Admiration Society sobre um clube de escrita fundado em 1912 por Sayers e mais cinco mulheres, quando estudavam em Oxford.

The #TBR tin has spoken.
Next read for fiction:
Great tales of detection has 19 short stories selected and introduced by Dorothy L. Sayers. This collection was originally published in 1936, but it's still easy to find this more "recent" edition from Everyman.
Sayers edited several short stories collections and besides the interesting stories, she also wrote insightful introductions about the history and development of the genre.
I'll be using an Oxford related bookmark.
Next read for non-fiction:
Howdunit is a collection of essays about the genre and the work of detective, crime, thrillers authors. The articles are all from the past and present members of The Detection Club, organised and edited by Martin Edwards.
Bookmark from the Portuguese edition of The Floating Admiral, also a The Detection Club work.

Five Red Herrings (1975), last and best of the superb BBC TV adaptations of Dorothy L. Sayers’ Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries starring Ian Carmichael (the definitive screen Lord Peter). Fine writing, great performances by the whole cast. Terrific.

Dorothy L Sayers created Lord Peter Whimsey, translated Dante and kept cats. All you need to know ...

Her favourite white cat, Timothy, is immortalized, both in sculpture and in poetry (an excerpt from 'For Timothy')

Cat humans relate much?

(The sculpture of Sayers with Timothy is by John Doubleday and stands in Witham, England)

Happy !
