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

Probably not the best idea to shout out about a book embargo and closing the doors on the library, just before you go away for a relaxing family weekend - a bit of beach time, a bit of food and drink with the family and of course a bit of browsing and shopping........ maybe I'll try again in September!

Cheap as chips - Waterstone' sale!

Amazon freebie after an author tip-off!

75p Charity shop bargain!

From the author - already read and enjoyed!

Second book, after the excellent The Life We Bury - from the publishers.

Another Seventh Street offering!

Another 75p bargain!

My second book from this author after House of Whacks!

Amazon freebie!

Loved his Down Solo last year!

Indian author!

    Ah, the best-laid plans... Still, you got some good 'uns there, Col. I hope you'l like the Connelly (I admit to bias there) and of course the Hill. I see you've a Rendell as well. Yes, quite a nice variety!

      Maybe I will acquire some resolve come autumn-time! Haha...or maybe not.
      I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth into Rendell and Hill. Connelly has been enjoyed for many a year!

    Some interesting books here, Col. I do have Who Guards the Prince but haven't read it yet.

      Tracy, I hadn't heard of this Hill book before I spotted this copy - it does look quite interesting. I expect you will read yours before I read mine!

    Col, it looks to me as if I you went out with a list of books to buy! I have not read Connelly yet and am sort of familiar with Ace Varkey.

      Not true Prashant! Though I was pleased to find the Connelly especially. I think Ace contacted you also.

      I don't think so, Col. I don't have anything on record. I have read some good reviews of the book.

      Hmm.... I thought he or she left a comment on one of your posts as they couldn't find your e-mail address. Maybe not.

      Col, I ought to kick myself. You're right, Ace Varkey did comment on one of my review posts and I even responded. How's that for memory! Thanks for letting me know.

    Hm. So the embargo, taken all in all, was not perhaps a wholehearted success . . .

    I picked up an ARC of the Eskens a few months ago from Seventh Street and it's waiting on the pile to be read soonish. I've just finished another of theirs, picked up at the same time, and plan to be writing about it later today: Lynne Raimondo's Dante's Wood, which I enjoyed quite a lot.

      Yes - a half-hearted attempted at best. August the floodgates have opened.

      I'm on Seventh Street's mailing list - so every so often a couple of tasty books turn up! I think I have Raimondo's book somewhere, unread of course. I might have to move it up the pile after seeing what you think.
