Well I can confirm that I am in a full on binge of the Ruth Galloway series. I read three this week, but I also spent a couple of hours tramping around central London after work one day looking for the next in the series at a sensible price (new and secondhand shops, from Charing Cross Road to St Pancras. It was good exercise and in one shop another customer liked my bag (from Strand Books in New York) so much he asked if he could take a picture of it. So that was fun. Anyway, we’re halfway through March, I’m not halfway through my NetGalley books for the month, and I’m acquiring books at a rate of knots. But I’m having fun doing it and I did make some more progress on Cher’s memoir, so I’m not too cross at myself.

Well as you could tell from Books Incoming, quite a few. That is to say four paperbacks bought and a pre-order arrived plus one ebook and another book preordered.
Bonus picture: the rather delightful wool display system in a haberdashers store in Soho.
*next to a book book title indicates that it came from NetGalley. ** indicates it was an advance copy from a source other than NetGalley.
Verity Reads Books (lots of them) 
It’s lovely when you can read a complete series all the way through. I’m definitely looking forward to reading Murder Below Deck.
There’s definitely something to be said for being able to binge read the whole way through a completed series! And if you do that, you don’t have the time to obsess about it the way that you do when you’re reading as they came out, and that can be a benefit too. Yes, I’m thinking of all the angry Sookie Stackhouse fans when that series finished…
During lockdown, I got hold of all the Meredith and Markby books by Ann Granger from online stores and read the whole series. It was really satisfying
I read those I think just before the pandemic – a friend lent me her copies – and I was so excited when the unexpected extra one turned up in 2022!
