A lovely collection of books that I'd reserved were on the mobile library for me this week.
The new Robert Harris which is sure to be good, also here is the only one of the dozens of Donna Leon's books that I've not read. The book by Rob Rinder is his second and I enjoyed the first so this should be equally readable. I've previously read Lara Maiklems other book about mudlarking on the Thames. Hope this new one is good too.
The other two above are 'looking at' books rather than reading but I'm interested to see what recipes Hugh FW comes up with.
Below is the latest Lissa Evans book, her previous novels have all been very good and another BLCC crime story reprinted from 1932.
Below are four books with Autumn in their titles for my Reading The Seasons challenge, apart from the Agatha Christie I'm not sure about these. I read some of Leslie Cookman's books in the past and stopped as they are all more or less the same and very silly. The other two might be OK - I shall see.
Should keep me out of mischief now the painting is finished.
Back Tomorrow

I wonder how many books you've read?
ReplyDeleteI could count them all up in my 'Book of Books read' which I've been writing in since 1970s but it would take me hours!
DeleteI can tell you that since 2010 I have had 2,081 books issued to me from the library. They've not all been read!
I should love to go mudlarking on the Thames, but you need a licence (and an expert to guide you) so it's not cheap. Maybe one day...
ReplyDeleteIt's very muddy fun I think
DeleteLucky you to be reading the Lissa Evans book so soon after publication. I loved her earlier books. Hoping to have this as a Christmas present. I am dropping heavy hints.
ReplyDeleteI reserved it in July and they have several copies - lots of people waiting for it too
DeleteSmall Bomb at Dimperley is a fantastic title!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what it's about yet
DeleteThat's an interesting, mixed selection.
ReplyDeleteSeveral look good so should be plenty to read
DeleteCan you get Eurosport? The laver cup is on today for 3 days. Ann T
ReplyDeleteNo-I don't have Eurosport
DeleteApparently Hugh WF is on a channel called Zoe, scientific approach to food is the main theme. He does seem to have disappeared from the screen.
ReplyDeleteZoe? Never heard of that I shall investigate
DeleteGood selection and too enjoyed the first Rob Rinder book. Enjoy reading now that you have finished painting. Catriona
ReplyDeleteStill have all my books to get back on the shelves then plenty of good reading to do
DeleteI’m still trying to find something of interest for ‘Spring’. The library holds are taking an age - I’m thinking there’s more than me reading the season (reverse of yours😊)
ReplyDeleteHope you find something. I just looked back to see how many I read and it was just 7 with Spring in the title - so not very many for 3 months of reading
DeleteI used to love watching River Cottage, any HFW is good imho.
ReplyDeleteI always find it slightly strange when authors change their name and you see
' writing as ' on the cover.......

I flicked through the recipes quickly but didn't see anything that jumped out at me. And all for 4 people too - sometimes complicated for 1 person
DeleteI enjoyed Hugh's latest book, there are a couple of recipes that I fancied trying.
ReplyDeleteI need to have a proper look. I liked the huge list of things to include in the 30 a week
DeleteThe books look interesting and should keep you busy for a couple weeks. Having the painting done gives you time for other interests.
ReplyDeleteI am watching a lovely program titled: "The National Trust Gardens" and it is very enjoyable. Much better than any news!
I only see local news on TV now and avoid the national news.
DeleteNT gardens are always beautiful and well cared for
I love it when you receive your library books. There’s always something to add to my list to look out for.
ReplyDeleteCould you tell us the author of "Autumn Leaves", please, as in your third photo. I'm on a similar search for "seasonal" titles for my reading group, and there are many books called Autumn Leaves. Thanks.
