Second hand Adele

Dove Grey Reader comes across Adele Geras's memoir in a second-hand bookshop. This is great, because now we all know about it, and can access a second-hand copy of Yesterday off Abe Books, or Amazon or wherever, but what surprised me was to hear that DGR and Adele have never met, because they are intertwined on the blogosphere, always commenting on each others' blogs and cross-referencing each other and so on - I thought they were old friends, but like some of the folk on this blog, they've only ever met in cyberspace.

I can't tell you how many bed-ridden days I bless this wireless age and its blogs for bringing the world and all its connections into individual bedrooms.

I bless the internet too, Dina! And it was a Virtual Armchair I was sitting in when she interviewed me for her site a while back....and very comfy I found it, too!

Dina, I hope you appreciate what a good job you're doing, even if it's from your bed, in bringing so many of us together here. I know Adele, but there are many others I've only met through you. Thanks. And a new used Adele book, too.

Adele, What were the virtual scones like? I'm sure I remember scones.

I bless it too! What a nice post. I hope you're feeling all right, Dina...

Have finished reading Adele's book now, and have just blogged about it too. Thanks for the tip.
