Hi Angela, Thanks so much for these inspiring links. The ‘if only’ one really appealed to me and I’ve been to look and joined up to the email list! Anything on creativity just fascinates me. I also now have ‘World Enough and Time’ on my kindle. Look forward to chatting on it. I’ll be in touch soon! Ruth
Hi Ruth!
Enjoy!
Glad you found something of interest in the offering and thanks for stopping by. I will really be interested in your thoughts on McEwan’s book, as well. I know you and I share a common interest on that topic. You’ve certainly got some good reads stacked up.
