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 Fivehttp://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=cornflower-21&l=as2&o=2&a=B006X9QJNE
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 Loghttp://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=cornflower-21&l=as2&o=2&a=1408704145.
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 Househttp://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=cornflower-21&l=as2&o=2&a=0330444417,
I studied British Music of our Time
by the Man of Property
before saying goodnight Before the Bombardment.
