A bigger haul than recent months but it was only when I got home that I realised there were 4 missing that had said online they were available for pick up. I caught up with the mobile at it's next stop around the other side of the village to check and they weren't on the van so must be sitting on the wrong shelves in the Mobile Depot. Hope Rachel, the library lady can find them so they can come out to me in March, last time this happened the books disappeared for months and I couldn't re-order them because the computer said they were waiting for me to pick up.
So these are 12 out of the 16 books I should have picked up, all had been reserved on-line. Five Non-Fiction, Five crime fiction - all by authors I know - and two general fiction.
Mudlarking by Lara Maiklem on the right will be a re-reading as I know I've read it but it's not down in my Book-of-Books-Read. And Horatio Clare's book 'A Light in the Dark' was borrowed to re-read before his more recent book 'Heavy Light' . - Although Heavy Light is one of the books that have gone AWOL.
From January's photo of the 9 books reserved and collected I read 6, looked through two and failed on the other.
Details of those read are on the Books Read 2024 page.

I found Mudlarking very interesting; haven't read any of the others. I envy you your TBR pile!
ReplyDeleteAlways loved the word Mudlarking. We once bought a fixer upper Land Rover with a Mudlarking group's logo painted on the side, looked very Detectorists.
ReplyDeleteA really good selection there, it's a shame about the missing books though. What computers say and what actually IS are sometimes two completely different things. :-(
ReplyDeleteMudlarking is on my TBR pile too

I’d love to go mudlarking but content myself with beachcombing instead. Lots of interesting books to be enjoyed. Catriona
ReplyDeleteI read a lot of mysteries too but have dabbled in some non-fiction lately and found it quite good and a nice change of pace.
ReplyDeleteYou always have a good variety in your pile of books. I'm so glad to be a book lover as it helps fill my days.
Looks like February will by flying by with all that reading to do Sue!
ReplyDeleteI always appreciate your setting up the titles for us to see. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI loved Mudlarking and follow her and others on Instagram. Lots of good titles, thanks for the lists always.
ReplyDeleteThe Accidental Detectorist made me wonder if the TV series The Detectorists is based on a book! My taller half and I enjoyed that show so much. -Kate
ReplyDeleteWow that's enough books for your own library! I've had a couple of duds this last month too, but liked some. I've reserved the latest Kristin Hannah, I'm number 5!
ReplyDeleteYour library is overall very reliable providing books of your choice. Even when a couple go missing, it is still an excellent service.
ReplyDeleteLots of reading is going to be happening at your house.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Looks like another nice lot of books. Hope they are to your liking.
ReplyDeleteI love it when you go to the library. I think we read lots of the same kinds of books. I see a few familiar authors here but the only one I have read is Mudlarking, which I found fascinating!
ReplyDeleteI love to see other's book piles. I bought The Lost Bookstore on Kindle. Thanks for listing it.
