I did very well at the jumble sale on the book front and I am going to keep this pristine copy in the gift cupboard fro MrShoestring's birthday. It looks very exciting and interesting and once he has finished reading it, I can have a look !
I saw quite a few copies of this book at the sale and in the end got it to make up my selection to 5 books so I could get the special price of 5 books for £1 ! We have enjoyed CJ Sansom's historical thrillers so I hope the writing is just as good in this story about the Spanish Civil War.
I thought that I had read all Nevil Shute's books so I was intrigued to find this reprint of a story I have not heard about for based duringWorld War 2 in France. I am looking forward to reading it !
This was another book I had not read and MrShoestring enjoys Bill Bryson's writing too, so this will be enjoyed by both of us !
Finally, this Nora Roberts' romance will be saved for a time when other people eat chocolate or ice cream, sometime next holidays when I feel like a bit of escapism !
All this for a bit less than the cost of 2 lots of reservation fees at the library !
I love your selection of books.
ReplyDeleteI have a few books I keep for days when I want to switch off and not do a lot of thinking. Sue
Forgot to say I was riveted by C J Sansom's historical novels.
ReplyDeleteWinter in Madrid is very good but very different and harder to read
I think that’s because it's of a more recent time and one can't disconnect
From the subject matter in the same way. Sue
Thank you Sue for sharing that, I shall try and remember what you said when I start it and if it's too hard to read there's always the Nora Roberts to fall back on !
DeleteYou got a good deal.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gary ! It's great when you can get a good selection for a great price!
