Yet More Library Books..........

..................I really need to get reading!

I'm blaming my new obsession with Inspector Montalabano  and then his younger version. There's no way I can read a book and subtitles on the TV too.

These reservations were ready at Debenham library for me to pick up on Saturday.

Mike Hollow is an author I discovered at the end of last year when I read The Blitz Detective, the first in a series that were originally published in 2015/6 but then reprinted with new jackets in 2020. The two above are numbers 3 and 4 in the series as oddly the library don't have the 2nd. I don't think it will matter as they are individual stories. From Fantastic Fiction I found that he has two more being published this year.

The book by Julie Wassmer is the 7th in the Whitstable Pearl series set in that town on the north Kent coast. Pearl splits her time between her sea-food restaurant and being a private investigator.

At the bottom of the pile is another book about sustainability with ideas for ditching plastic etc, etc. I found I'd borrowed it before. It's quite basic, it will go straight back.

Back Tomorrow

  1. Are you ever worried what the library folk will think about the majority of your books being about murder? Perhaps you should order one called 'Cleaning Up a Crime Scene next, now that would make them really wonder ... haha.

  3. Our local library also stocks incomplete series. They explained that it was to get more people interested in the series; and to do some budget control they have divided the series between a few local libraries. Interlibrary loan is still free here. (That's where they lose me on 'budget control')

    1. I'll probably suggest they buy the next two that are due out this year, they buy most books people suggest now which is handy

  4. Richard Osman book now read, thank you, and is to be passed on to a neighbour. To be honest this Covid year has brought our 'close' together even though with masks on we may pass by each other in the shop...

  5. That looks like a nice collection of books! I love it when I find an author I like and it opens up a whole new list of books for me. I hope you have a lovely week and maybe have the chance to visit some charity shops!

  6. Most of my shelves are historical fiction or horror. My ereader is mostly murder and mayham.

    Those books appeal to me.

    God bless.
