How do we choose our reading, and E.M. Delafield – welcome to episode 97!
https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/tea-or-books-episode-97-online-audio-converter.com_.mp3
In the first half of the episode, we debate whether to read spontaneously or plan our reading. In the second half, two E.M. Delafield novels vie against each other: Tension, recently reprinted in the British Library Women Writers series, and Thank Heaven Fasting.
