I didn't get on too well with my August library book haul but this heap picked up yesterday looks really good. As usual they are all books I'd tracked down and ordered online and there seems to be rather a lot!
Plenty of crime fiction this month including 2 British Library Crime Classics and others by Anne Perry, Anne Granger, Kate Ellis and Donna Leon. There are several non-fiction namely 'Open House' by Jane Christmas, 'The Comfort Book' by Matt Haig, 'A Sparrow's Life as Sweet as Ours' by Carry Ackroyd, 'The Wood' by John Lewis Stempel, 'Mail Obsession' by Mark Mason, 'Under the Stars ' by Matt Gaw and something reprinted from the 40's - 'Where Stands a Winged Sentry' by Margaret Kennedy. There's one author - Jessie Greengrass - I don't know at all so not sure where I came across her details.
This lot should keep me busy for more than 4 weeks I think.
The library books I read last month are on the Books Read 2021 page and I also read one of my own books - bought during lockdown - Rory Clements-' A Prince and a Spy' which was brilliant and I'm now loving 'A Place in the Woods' by Helen Hoover ... another purchase after reading about it on Mikis blog 'Farm's on my Bookshelf'.
Happy reading. :-)

Just need more hours in the day!
DeleteI always like posts like these, I look up a lot of the titles. I'm intrigued by the Jane Christmas one, will put it on my to be read list.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds good- We had lots of house moves but this story is of 32 moves!
DeleteI really must seek out more Rory Clements books. I enjoyed Martyr. He lives in Norfolk
ReplyDeleteThis series set in Cambridge around WWII are brilliant
DeleteI think my eyes would drop out if I had to read so many books ;) I would pick the Lewis-Stempe book.
ReplyDeleteIt might take me a while - but a really good lot this time
DeleteInteresting haul.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to get started on them!
DeleteThat looks a great haul Sue. A few there I wouldn't mind reading. I'm currently on Dark Tide by Philippa Gregory which is excellent. Let me know how much you enjoyed the Helen Hoover book - though it sounds you are thoroughly enjoying it already! They certainly struggled, and must have existed on very frugal rations.
ReplyDeleteLoving the Helen Hoover. Thought I'd read it years ago but hadn't
DeleteWhat a lovely selection of books. I have to admit to being a bit glued to my cook books at the moment, I love Nigel Slaters writings.
ReplyDeleteI'm right off cooking!
DeleteHaha so am I, but I'm still reading about it and watching other people do it on tv, usually whilst munching on a packet of crisps or a banana!!
DeleteYou have a great selection of books. I'm currently spending most of my time closing down my gardens and preparing the house for the winter season. My reading will take first place when the weather shifts to cold and snow.
ReplyDeleteThat's alot of books. I need to finish reading one I'm part way through. I ordered a new book yesterday written by Max Lucado. It goes with his upcoming vertual event next Tues. He's a good pastor and I've read alot of his books. I added a new one book, written by friend, on my Kindle. I have books on there to read. I read some of it while on trip to Alaska. One area didn't have much internet. I'm glad you got books you wanted. Have a blessed weekend.
ReplyDeleteI have been reading a lot lately too. I have seen so many great suggestions on blogs like yours and others that I follow. I am so glad when I can find them in my library and have reserved several popular ones so I will get them eventually. Thanks for your suggestions!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a good stack of books to tackle.
ReplyDeleteI think I have read the Donna Leon book you have there. Currently I'm reading her latest, "Transient Desires". Put it on your request list ASAP as it is very popular.
ReplyDeleteLoved the Rory Clements WW2 series, best to read them in order

Great book selection. I love Anne Perry.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
