Lots of lovely books for me this month. They are all books I’d reserved online. The very narrow book on top is a book called Toll Houses of Suffolk, which I decided to borrow after writing about the one that moved from the main road to Needham Market. Thought I’d see where the other toll houses are – if they still exist.
There are several crime here including the most recent Elly Griffiths in her Brighton series, four non-fiction and one children’s book – far right.
I also brought home two books with Spring in the title for my Reading The Seasons “challenge”. I’ll write about those when I read them.
Not quite sure how I will fit in reading all these – but I’ll give it a go.
These were the books I carried home in February. I read nine out of the twelve
Nigel Richardson – The Accidental Detectorist; Uncovering an Underground Obsession. Non Fiction (Published 2022) A travel writer is stuck at home through the pandemic and buys a metal detector. He starts in the meadow behind his Hampshire home and then sets out to meet other detectorists and joins in rallies and is very quickly hooked by his new hobby. Travelling around the country looking for the illusive buried treasure he meets all sorts of characters and learns so much more about what’s hidden.
Peter Ross – Steeple Chasing; Around Britain by Church. Non Fiction. (Published 2023). This isn’t so much about churches but about the people involved with them and how they are surviving and have survived. He takes the reader around the country through the pandemic visiting St Pauls in London, Durham Cathedral, the forgotten churches of Norfolk, the holy wells in Wales and back to London with a few other places in between.
