I was very restrained last Friday when I had my first visit to the library in six weeks and only brought home three books. Two crime and some short stories for lighter reading...
The Mangle Street Murders by M.R.C.Kasasian - ' set between the refined buildings of Victorian Bloomsbury and the stinking streets of London's East End this one is for those who like their crime original, atmospheric and very,very funny.'
Stone Mattress by Margaret Atwood - a collection of short stories ' darkly humorous and seriously playful.'
I also placed two on hold and the first is already waiting to be picked up.
The Crooked House by Christobel Kent
The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins
If I can stand firm these will be my library allowance for the month!

The Girl on the Train is EVERYWHERE this week. Starting to think I should place a hold, too :)
ReplyDeleteI know and I usually try to avoid the hyped up books but I do love a good psychological thriller so have my fingers crossed this will be worthwhile.
DeleteLooks like some excellent choices! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI hope they turn out to be good choices. :-)
DeleteEnjoy your loot!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. :-)
