What the Library Van Brought Me

I had 25 books reserved at the library but lots of them are brand new and not yet in stock or I'm a long way down the waiting list so only these 9 had arrived for me.

 Crime fiction by George Bellairs, Dorothy L Sayers, Simon Brett and Anne Perry. Non Fiction books - The rather Large  "Ravilious & Co" - which is about the artists that were in the Persephone book by Tizah Garwood   "Long Live Great Bardfield". " Don't Worry he Doesn't Bite; Tales of a Country Postman" by Liam Mulvin.  Mike Brown "Put That Light Out" which I thought I'd read before but it's not in my book of books and finally a huge cookery book to look through.

Last months books are  below but I've hung onto the Christmas Days book and The Crimson Snow British Library Crime Classic for my December Christmassy reading. I read 7 out of the 14, looked at the flower and cookery books and 3 went back unread as I couldn't get into them.

Books read last month have been added to the separate page. I ended up reading from my shelves after finishing the library books and probably will again in November.

Thank you for frog and pond comments

    1. When I worked in libraries, the older staff always said that good readers always ended up with crime fiction because there were so many to choose from.Back then I was reading family stories and historical novels.

  3. Quite the stash. I treated myself to the Daylesford book a few weeks ago - amazon had it for under £10 including delivery - and I love it. Haven't made anything from it yet, but I think it's a seriously good book.

    1. Ah! must have seen it on your blog, I wondered why I'd reserved it!

  4. Have a look at images of the Rotunda Ravilious Bar, Midland Hotel, Morecambe.
    The original mural was painted by Eric Ravilious and his wife Thirza Garwood during the 1930s.
    In 2013 (I think) the mural was repainted, although as the only surviving images of the original were in black and white, the colours are a bit of guesswork, but based on the colours Ravilious used in his watercolour paintings.
    The bar also serves great food and they do a mean Bellini cocktail too!
