I abandoned my WordPress blog (The Book Trunk) a while ago, because I found it more and more difficult to use those wretched 'blocks' they introduced, and adverts that I don't want have appeared on the site, and I can't get rid of them. I tried exporting the content to Blogger, which I used before WordPress, but I couldn't do that either, so I'm starting from scratch with a new blog, which is a work in progress. Some summery thoughts on books will follow tomorrow - or maybe later today.
This site is dedicated to my grandmother, who ran away from her Norwegian home and arrived in England with nothing but a trunk full of books.
