The First August Library Book Photo................

.......................................why the first? because the library van comes four weekly there are two visits August.

Another heap of happiness, collected last week,  all books I've ordered online except for the 1 by Donna Leon and the Persephone, which I plucked from the shelves.


Starting from the bottom "Homesick" is subtitled "Why I live in a shed", I think it's about the lack of housing for young people. After finding out about Little Toller Books a couple of weeks ago I looked on the library site and found they had the Little Toller Books re-print of "Home Country" by Richard Mabey. I've read several of his more recent books so ordered this to read.
Jack Monroes latest book "Tin Can Cook". Then there are some old recently re-printed crime fiction and a crime author I hadn't heard of... Julia Chapman. Another Dean Street Press edition that the library have bought is "The Native Heath" by Elizabeth Fair.


This was what I brought home in July
 The 2 crime fiction  books by authors I'd not read before went back unread- couldn't get into them.  21st Century Yokel has also gone back without reading properly  as it wasn't very interesting.  Short description of books read are on the separate page (tab at the top under the photo). Despite someone telling me not to read "Go set a Watchman" ( surely a reason to definitely read it!!) I found it interesting......a look at the Southern States of the USA when racial tension was causing all sorts of problems...........something that never seems to go away.

    I must get round to reading GSAW. Sadly the USA is still beset by racial tensions, and this book from back then might help give context to now.

    Another good selection, although I'm surprised you sleep at night with all the crime books you read ... lol. My younger son loves crime books too both fiction and non-fiction, I'd be worried about his plans if he didn't work for the Police ;-)

      Crime has a beginning and an end and doesn't make me cry!

    Do let us know how you get on with the Tin can recipe book. I like Jack Monroe's recipes

    If you love a good crime read, I am working my way through the Jack Reacher books by Lee Child, they are not all murder mystery but excellent reads." 60 HOURS " would be a good start.

    I've seen the Jack Monroe book in my library, Sue. Would it be worth getting it out?
