I was very glad to find the flood that I photographed a week ago had gone (another tanker came and pumped out the drains again) because the lay-by in front of the houses is where the mobile library stops and I didn’t fancy wading to the van! – Although of course the library lady wouldn’t have stopped in the middle of it!
These are the 9 books brought home – all ones I’d reserved on line. Mostly crime fiction again.
The book about the artists at the back is a ‘looking at’ book. I’ve been interested in these artists since the Persephone book ‘Long Live Great Bardfield’ and finding some postcards of Ravilious paintings.
I’m not sure why I reserved the other non-fiction book – ‘Eating With The Tudors’, it looks a bit heavy going.
I’ve already started ‘The Port of London Murders’ which is a British Library Crime Classic reprint which I’d missed reading when it was first published in 2020. ‘Big Ben Strikes Eleven’ is another BLCC, this one published last year and is an author I don’t know so I hope it’s readable.
At the bottom of the heap is the 24th and latest in the Number 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series.
Last month I only brought home 5 books and read 4 out of the five, so have been reading from my shelves. Everything read is on the Books read 2023 and new 2024 pages.
The weather forecast is still talking about cold weather next week although they were completely wrong for the week just gone.
Hope you have a good weekend, whatever the weather, I’ll be back Monday.
