Speaking of books languishing on shelves: Went to the library a little while ago and now I'm back with a bunch of books, most of which were recommended to me by friends and/or other bloggers. I have high hopes I'll like at least half of them. That's usually the most I can expect. But you never know, this time out I may just like them all. I'm always hopeful when I open the covers of an unread book.In no particular order of priority, here's what came home with me from the library today:
- THE HERRING-SELLER'S APPRENTICE by L.C. Tyler
- THE UNCOMMON READER by Alan Bennett
- THE CIPHER'S GARDEN by Martin Edwards
- HAVE MERCY ON US ALL by Fred Vargas
- LEARNING TO SWIM by Sara J. Henry
- VOICES by Arnaldur Indridason
- THE SPANISH GAME by Charles Cumming
- ALL SHALL BE WELL by Deborah Crombie
- A SHARE IN DEATH by Deborah Crombie
- MRS. MALORY INVESTIGATES by Hazel Holt
- MRS. MALORY AND THE FATAL LEGACY by Hazel Holt
- THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER & CLAY by Michael Chabon
- DAZZLER: The Life and Times of Moss Hart by Steven Bach
If I can't find something I really like on this list all I have to say is: What the heck is wrong with me? Ha! (A link to some other wonderful posters - vintage ones refitted with 'save our libraries' messages. Like the one I've used at the top of this post, they are fabulous.)
