Well I realise that this looks bad. I’ve been talking about how hard I’ve been working to try and bring the size of the to-read pile down and here I am with another bumper crop of purchases, but bear with me – I can explain. Seven of these came from one day out in Leicestershire (there was also a cook book purchase that isn’t in the picture because it’s down in the kitchen being used!) which I’ve written about the last few Saturdays. And those seen are: the two Emily Wildes and Murder off the Books which are sequels to books that I’ve already enjoyed, In Want of a Suspect – a Pride and Prejudice adjacent books which is a special interest of mine, the Kate Bateman – who was at the Book Extravaganza in person and Just Playing House and Mrs Plansky’s Revenge which were the beautifully wrapped blind date with a books from the Book Extravaganza.
Once you’re take those out of the list, that just leaves Paris Match and Honey Bee Mine which were pre-orders and the George Plimpton which is a second hand copy of his book about Capote and the Angela Thirkell which is the latest in the Virago copies of her Barsetshire books. So it’s actually almost reasonable. If you look at it sideways and squint and don’t think about my logic too hard. I’m fine with it at any rate!
Have a great weekend everyone.
