The second book of my 6 month subscription to the British Library Crime Classics arrived last week and with it came another book - Free!
The author is John Ferguson new to BLCC except for a short story in The Edinburgh Mystery and Other Tales of Scottish Crime. Hope he is readable but as it's set among bookshops it should be OK.
The books came with a bookmark too. In January it was a postcard and bookmark.
I'm enjoying this subscription!

We love your new header picture.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteWhat a nice surprise to get a free book.....hope it's a good one.
ReplyDelete100 puzzles should keep me busy
DeleteIt's always lovely to receive books through the post, especially when they are completely fresh to you - perhaps never heard of?
ReplyDeleteI am half way through A Patch in the Forest and see what you mean about it not being a "patch" (sorry, excuse pun!) on her earlier books. She wrote that at an age where the challenges in life were behind her, and this was a more routine accepting Elizabeth West . . .
I'm enjoying my extravagant subscription
DeleteHow lovely. Books are always a gift anyway, even if you've paid for them, because they can give so much. I hope you really enjoy it. xx
ReplyDeleteAn extra book was a surprise - didn't know they did that. Wonder what will arrive next month with the crime book
DeleteI had a book subscription as a present when I was about 11 years old. I've still got some of the books now. It's a lovely gift
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to get something more than what I'd paid for
DeleteAlways nice to get an unexpected freebie - and I still get a buzz from getting things through the post!

My Radio Times every week is a treat and a now a book a month, I'm being very extravagant!
DeleteThis sounds like a lovely subscription, the little freebies making it even more so.
ReplyDeletewonderful! You have plenty of read.

Never a shortage of books here!
DeleteYour subscription is working out very nicely. I see "100 puzzles" are included as well.
ReplyDelete100 puzzles was free with my subscription book - a surprise extra
DeleteHi, I have enjoyed reading your blog for years, but don’t think I have commented before! I am trying to work out if your new heading picture is of pampas grass - if it is, you may want to search up “pampas grass meaning”! The monthly book subscription is a great gift idea. X
ReplyDeleteHello, lovely to have a comment from someone who hasn't commented before. No it's not Pampas but reeds on the edge of the lake at Needham Market .
DeleteI'm glad you're enjoying the sub. And thank you for the new header picture! Nice change.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to have a new header, I used to try and do a new one each month but sometimes forget.
DeleteHow lovely. I am pretty sure you will enjoy that book.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Wonderful! I'll be interested in hearing how you like him!
ReplyDeleteI like the new blog header you have. Also, I will look and see if the British Crime Library Classics is available to me in Florida. That is an appealing subscription.
ReplyDeleteBy any chance are you on Goodreads? It's a free account and a great way to catalogue your books read or want to read. If you are I'd like to follow your to-read list as you've given me good choices for authors new to me.
It sounds like a great subscription. Well worth it and a lovely treat to receive!
ReplyDeleteI have several books in that series, but those two are new to me.
