VERY early into "Four Gardens" my 4th Dean Street Press book for #DeanStreetDecember this passage suggesting I'm REALLY going to like it. Me being me, the title of the book automatically made me think of the place on the right. 😀 #Reading #middlebrow #bookstodon

@bookstodon

a passage of text on a Kobo Sage e-reader, from "Four Gardens" by Margery Sharp. Text as follows:

Within so complicated a system the inhabitants of Morton had naturally to tread with care; but so practiced were their steps, so keen their social noses, that no gaffe of any magnitude had occurred since 1879. In that disorderly year, indeed, there had been two: the seduction of a Major’s daughter by a chemist, and the engagement of a grocer’s daughter to a gentleman’s son.

All done with #DeanStreetDecember for 2025. Thanks again to Dean Street Press for the reads. If DS(P)D returns next year, so will this bad penny!

After #DeanStreetDecember 2025, an update on the state of my https://www.deanstreetpress.co.uk/ library. It's in 3 tags: dsp-read, dsptbr, and dsp-dnf. On the left, dsp-read. On the right, dsptbr (atm) I did not screenshot dsp-dnf, because there are only five. 😁
