- Wed, 15:00: Why Don’t Penguins’ Feet Freeze? And 114 Other Questions, edited by Mick O’Hare Sequel to Does Anything Eat Wasps?, with again loads of scientific trivia. Though I’m not completely sure I believe what it says about snot. #nwbooks https://t.co/3TJnwBJvxr https://t.co/X9HGSvvnYI https://t.co/MfGgsbdSvb
- Wed, 15:30: Dublin Castle and the 1916 Rising: The Story of Sir Matthew Nathan, by Leon � Broin This is a good example of how to take a rich and largely untapped vein of source material and turn it into a good read. #nwbooks https://t.co/4UNZJ75gxe https://t.co/3EzE2SpWuE https://t.co/MSzfK9uN2g
- Wed, 16:00: The Megalithic European, by Julian Cope Thoughts about sacred landscapes and what you can tell about the monuments just by looking at them. A nice gazetteer section. Illustrated with gorgeous pictures. #nwbooks https://t.co/BkRPDSlg17 https://t.co/dCub6ZchD9 https://t.co/4vrBCA8r8P

- Wed, 17:30: The Book of Lost Tales Part II, by J.R.R. Tolkien Tolkien’s prose was as fluent in his twenties as it was later, and Christopher Tolkien’s annotations complete enough to satisfy curiosity. #nwbooks https://t.co/kSnOUMpWDS https://t.co/JbVIDlqH8r https://t.co/wuaKeeyoQB
- Wed, 18:00: Rebecca, by Daphne du Maurier The film version of the heroine is more gutsy than her paper original. But the book is enjoyably, tautly written, and still difficult to put down even when you know what is going to happen. #nwbooks https://t.co/BTq3pPWyxx https://t.co/ayCQ4nXaqK https://t.co/4GG3iIDfIF
