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: 17 I kept these below:
Bangladeshi Restaurant Curries – Pat Chapman
Book of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts – Margaret Atwood (Signed)
The Edge of Silence: In Search of the Disappearing Sounds of Nature – Neil Ansell (Signed)
My Body is a Meadow: Finding Freedom in the Outdoors – Bethany Handley
Hookland: Fragments Volume One: Remembering Differently – David Southwell
Africa Dances – Geoffrey Gorer
Memory Maps – Lis St Aubin De Teran (Signed)
Books out: 74 (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.
