My Day in Vintage Penguin Titles

Cornflower Books and The Captive Reader have both completed a meme where they outline a day's activities using the titles of books they have read this year.  As my brain can always use a bit of a stir I thought I would use their format but use the titles of Vintage Penguin books from my collection.
It was a fun but quite difficult exercise at times.
Thanks to CB and TCR for some inspiration.

I began the day by Five

before breakfasting on The Red Pavillion

and admiring The Village School

On my way to work I saw The Travelling Woman

and walked by The Misfits

to avoid The Conman

but I made sure to stop at Mr. Weston’s Good Wine.

In the office, my boss said, Defy the Foul Fiend

and sent me to research The Surgeon’s Log.

At lunch with Jennie

I noticed Thurber’s Dogs

in The House in Clewe Street

greatly enjoying Claudine and Annie

Then on the journey home, I contemplated Undertones of War

because I have a Taste of Fears

and am drawn to a Russian Newsreel.

Settling down for the evening in My Mother’s House,

I studied British Music of our Time

by the Man of Property

before saying goodnight Before the Bombardment.
