I’m taking a break from my evening swim to bring you another round of my game, because we don’t seem to have played for a very long time.
This is how it works: I send Jane out into the garden to take pictures of different piles of books to represent different bookish bloggers. And then you can guess who they are.
If you want a bit of practice, there are links to previous rounds – the questions and the answers – on my new page.
This time we have three very different readers from three very different continents.
Here’s the first one:
The Other Elizabeth Taylor by Nicola Beauman
South Riding by Winifred Holtby
Suite Française by Irène Néimovsky
The Post-Office Girl by Stefan Zweig
Gillespie and I by Jane Harris
(and there should have been A Dance to the Music of Time, but Jane couldn’t find it.)
Now for the second one:
Someone at a Distance by Dorothy Whipple
The Light-Hearted Quest by Ann Bridge
Barnaby Rudge by Charles Dickens
Murder at the Flood by Mabel Esther Allen
Decca: The Letters of Jessica Mitford
And here’s the last one for this round:
Oscar & Lucinda by Peter Carey
Sweet William by Beryl Bainbridge
The Crow Road by Ian Banks
The Game of Kings by Dorothy Dunnett
The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters by G W Dahlquist
That’s it!
How is the guessing going?
Remember, if you are stuck all three can be found our sidebar. So maybe if there’s a blog you don’t know you should click on it, because you might find an answer, and you might find somebody new to keep an eye on.
I will be back with the answers at the weekend, and Jane will be back to talk about books in a day or so.
Ooh! That first one … Could it be me?
Dear Laura,
Yes, it is. We like it when people recognise themselves, because then we can be sure we got it right.

Briar, thanks for understanding. I know the game is to recognize other people and I sort of gave it away, so I apologize. It’s just that I never manage to recognize anyone and I was so excited I couldn’t help myself!
I have no clue about this round! so I’ll take your advice and click around the blogs I don’t know yet.
Dear Lisa,
We had to make it a bit trickier, because the answers came in so quickly last round. but hopefully you will find someone new and interesting.

Hello Briar – a tricky round. I think No 2 might be Lyn @ I prefer reading but the the other two I’ll have to start checking around your side bar.
Dear Cat,
Yes, you are right. you are very good at this game.
Love Briar x
I think no. 3 is Annabel @ Annabel’s House of Books – yes? One of my favourite book bloggers.
I saw the pic (3) and knew it must be me! Thank you – I’m so chuffed to be featured. I must ask, seeing as you have the installments of the glass books – did you enjoy them?
