MAY 2015 - ADDITIONS TO THE LIBRARY.....SOME OF AT LEAST

Hold the front page!

I bought some books in May.

Well I had a gift card balance left over from a thoughtful Christmas present and what with Father's Day a couple of weeks away over here, and me second-guessing what I may get, assuming I can stay onside with the children during the next fortnight - it seemed appropriate.

Short stories - Amazon freebie!

Bought after reading him in Gary Phillip's Hollis PI collection.

  1. The main thing I would say is - great covers! Particularly the top one and the bottom one.

    1. I bet you could blog about the blue dress, she doesn't look as if she'll be wearing it much longer!
      I didn't know if Motherless Brooklyn was a mini - Death of the Detective? (Only 4 chapters - 4 days to go!)

  2. I agree with Moira about the covers, Col - some of them are great! Couple of catchy titles there too. I hope you'll enjoy them.

    1. Margot thanks - I am a sucker for a decent cover, that said I like the look of the content also!

  3. I echo the "great covers" comments. Just on the surface, most don't look like the content would appeal to me. But who knows?

    I hope you read Motherless Brooklyn soon. I have been interested in that but never got any further than that.

    1. Tracy, I like pretty much all the covers, though I have seen more attractive editions of the Motherless Brooklyn book.

  4. Col, I agree, some great covers here and I'm especially keen on reading Max Allan Collins.

    1. Collins is very prolific. He has a few series on the go - probably his most famous is Nate Heller, which I haven't tried. I opted for two of his other series - Frank Nolan - a robber and Quarry - a hit man. He also continued with Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer books after the author's death.
