Picked up these from the mobile library, a bit different this month - only two crime and six non-fiction
and the very small book on the right is a children's book.
I've added to the books about spring - seems I'm looking forward as well as getting through Winter with 'Sacred Seasons' and that fiction book 'The Last Song of Winter' by Lulu Taylor (which someone must have mentioned as it doesn't look like a 'me' book at all) ' But 4 other books about getting through Winter still have waiting lists and it will be March and Spring before I get them.
Out of the huge amount brought home in January I've still got 5 here and have read seven so far.
The books I've read up to now are on the Books Read 2026 page.
I'm still working through WordHord. It is fascinating, but so densely packed with information. I can only read it in small sections
ReplyDeleteI'll be checking out wordhord... Simon Barnes is such a good nature writer.
ReplyDeleteI love nature books. Sometimes I come home from the library with mostly non fiction.

This amount of non-fiction is very unusual for me.
DeleteVaried selection and I have taken a note of some that appeal. No one in the book group liked. Ridge of Clay and I was the only member who had struggled through it to the end! Catriona
ReplyDeleteHope they gave you a medal!
DeleteReading about nature is interesting and enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteAnything done to move through cold/damp/snowy February is good.
I like your original bookshelf! some interesting looking titles there
ReplyDeleteIt's the best place for a book photo!
DeleteA whole month gone already. It doesn’t seem that long since you posted your last ‘collection’. They do say “a change is as good as a rest” so maybe by changing your choices from fiction to non fiction this month you’ll have a peaceful restful February
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all that wonderful reading material.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I see you have another William Shaw book. I got one after your last post on books and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for the recommendation.
ReplyDeleteI read that as Knitting in the Shadows and took another look.
ReplyDeleteI don't tend to read a lot of non-fiction. Do you find them harder-going than the fiction?
