The Week in Books: September 18 – September 24

I’m just back from a lovely week in the sunshine on holiday and I think youcan tell from the reading list. In a minor miracle, I read both the books I took with me to read on holiday AND the two books I bought at the airport, and I started on the book Him Indoors took with him to read. This is unheard of – I have a terrible record for taking books with me, then buying something at the airport and reading the new ones and then going back to the kindle. So well done me. And I also made some really good progress on that still reading list – I will get there, I will! Anyway, a nice and very varied week of reading all in all. And now – back to work…
