Reading From 1932

As part of my Adventures In Stitchcraft, I have decided to add some reading from each year. So we will start, of course, with 1932.

I am also a member of an online reading forum in which we are reading through 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die by Peter Boxall.

I have read quite a few of the books already but I am nothing if not methodical, so I wanted to start from the beginning. I am not quite as methodical as one of the members of the group who is reading from number 1 on the list to the end. I am choosing books from all over the list.

And by now I am sure you all know my love for a list project, so we are also reading through 1001 Childrens Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up with my boys. Some they are reading themselves, some are our evening read aloud. 

I love children's books so I am really enjoying revisiting some of my favourites. 

Back to 1932! There are a few books on the list published in 1932, plus many others. I will definitely be rereading Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons and would also like to read To The North by Elizabeth Bowen.

And of course, there will be an Agatha Christie to read as she published something nearly every year from 1920 to 1976. I admit that I have never read an Agatha Christie - am I the ony person in the world who has not?! So I am starting this month with her first book The Mysterious Affair At Styles which is a Hercule Poirot story.  

In children's books, the most notable book of 1932 would be Little House In The Big Woods. We have read this (my middle son said it made him hungry, with all the descriptions of food preparation!) so we will read Biggles: The Camels Are Coming. I hope the boys will enjoy Biggles. 

Have you read any of these? Maybe you would like to read along! Or comment below if you know of any other great reads published in 1932. 
One thing I really love about reading the older books is that they are generally cheaper - good for my book buying budget!

I also need to disclose that I have joined Book Depository, so I have an affiliate link on my sidebar. The book links in this post will also go to Book Depository through my affiliate link. If you choose to support me in this way, I would greatly appreciate it. 
I do not like blogs that have tons of pop up ads, I find it extremely distracting. Not that I am expecting to ever get enough readers to have that sort of advertising! But I have chosen two companies that I use often myself and have joined their affiliate programmes - you can find the links to Etsy and Book Depository in the sidebar. This will be the only advertising I will add to the blog and I may add links to certain books/products that are relevant in my posts. I will let you know when I have. 

Happy vintage reading!
