.......................the books I read while waiting for them to arrive.
Some of my reservations went AWOL last month so I ran out of books to read (Ha! There's enough here for a year or more) I nipped into Stowmarket library and came out with these from the crime shelves.
and read these from my own shelves.
And here's what I collected from the van yesterday.
Seems to be a lot of crime fiction again - no surprise there then! A couple are Large Print as they often have no waiting lists. There are two by new-to-me authors and a random cookery book to peruse.
My missing books from a month ago were still missing so "just" twelve to collect. I said "don't worry about looking up where the missing books are I'll just look in my History bit on the Library Dashboard and reorder them" and when I did I discovered that 4 of the 5 were on the Mobile Library shelves. So somehow they'd got missed from the pile with my name and been shelved.
Not that it matters, as 12 books should last me a while and there will be another heap in 4 weeks time.

Enjoy your reading matter, don't recognise one author from the pile but it is good to have choice. Our library is hosting a display of space rocks from NASA, it should keep the children thrilled in the summer holidays.
ReplyDeleteSpace rocks? Very odd for a library.
DeleteHow wonderful to have such a Variety of books to read at no cost. Our local library is struggling but I have plenty of choice from my own shelves! Catriona
ReplyDeleteI try and save my own books for emergencies! Like the end of the world or something similar!
DeleteI'm a great fan of Margery Allingham. Are these Mike Ripley Campion books any good?
ReplyDeleteYes, I've enjoyed them and I hadn't read many originals. Mr Campion's Farewell is the first Mike Ripley wrote
DeleteThat’s a good pile of reading! I have the Stella Gibbons book on my list …so will be interested to know what that’s like! Enjoy the weekend! Sal 😁
ReplyDeleteDetails of the 'Weather at Tregulla' is on my Books Read 2023 page. It was quite a speedy read and the Cornwall descriptions are good
DeleteNice pile of reading there, I'm going through a phase of not wanting to read crime novels preferring history and biography.......just a phase! :-)

Biographies are something that I've never really liked - there are always loads of famous people's biogs at boot sales so lots of people do like them but I'll pass.
DeleteI recognize some of those authors as I like mystery and detective stories also. I just finished a good book that was NOT a mystery but I enjoyed it very much anyway. It's "Lessons in Chemistry" by Bonnie Garmus. I recommend it, Sue!
ReplyDeleteIt has lots of reviews so must be well known but doesn't really appeal - sorry
Delete...and you solved the missing books mystery! Thanks for the Parsley plant tip and I will buy new next Spring.
ReplyDeleteAll a bit of a mystery as to how they are on the shelves rather than in a heap with my name on - but it doesn't matter, they should be waiting for me in 4 weeks
DeleteLoved Lessons in Chemistry. A big hit here.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't sound my sort of reading
DeleteI'm looking forward to winter, when, once again, I have time to read.
ReplyDeleteI'm not looking forward to winter - it's too dark and cold!
DeleteWhat a lovely assortment of reading material.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Ann Granger! I haven't read her in ages. Thanks for the reminder. I'm on a Donna Leon kick right now, too. As I recall, A Noble Radiance is very good. I haven't read the other.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your book posts. I always find new things to try or old faves to reread.

I loved the School at the Chalet. Thanks for reminding me to look it out and re-read it. Just finished a Donna Leon. I always enjoy her books and Louise Penny. Enjoy your reading.
