I am a bit late in posting this, because if you’ve seen my other posts, you’d understand why. I did get 15 books read, though, helped by a week away in Jersey!

Library Books Checked Out
Poor – Katriona O’Sullivan
Books Bought (Or Sent by Friends)
As I have said elsewhere, I am trying to buy fewer books. So I will give totals of l the number of books that enter my house and those that leave permanently. These are the figures for this month:
Books in: 7 I kept these below:
Small Steps with Paws and Hooves: A Highland Journey – Spud Talbot-Ponsonby
Within Tuscany – Matthew Spender
Books out: 131 (The books leaving the house were sold, returned to the library or passed on to friends or charity. I am aiming for this number to be higher than the one above!!!).
So, are there any from that list that you have read, or now seeing them, now want to read? Let me know in the comments below.
