Four books this week - and most unusual for these days three of them are hardbacks.
The Forgotten Waltz by Anne Enright......' recollections of a love affair' - another from the Orange Prize list . The last two I began I never finished which seems to happen all too often with these prize list books so hopefully this one won't join them.
The Water Room by Christopher Fowler ......' a wickedly sinuous mystery that goes to the heart of every London home'. It went on TBR after I read Aarti's review recently - it sounded like something I will really enjoy.
Howards End by E.M.Forster.....A 20th-century classic on British society's class warfare, as seen through the eyes of three different castes.
The Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie.......'The first Miss Marple mystery , one which tests all her powers of observation and deduction.'
What did you bring home this week?
Enjoy your loot!

DeleteI love the covers on The Water Room and Howards End! I started rereading Christie's books this year but am saving the Miss Marples for a bit - they've always been my favourites. Enjoy your loot!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long time since I read AC - Miss Marple is my favourite too.
DeleteI hope you enjoy The Forgotten Waltz. I did not like it that much, but I know a lot of other bloggers did.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Claire, the cover for Howards End looks stunning.
Oh dear - that doesn't sound promising but my expectations are not high so we'll see.
DeleteIt is a lovely cover and a hardback too!
I loved the movie version of Howard's End. I should make time to read the book.
ReplyDeleteI love Miss Marple -- enjoy your loot.
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Enright's latest. I enjoy The Gathering and the way that it made me contemplate the characters. There wasn't a lot of action but a deeply touching story and intricate characters and relationships. I hope The Forgotten Waltz is as good.
