It's been a brilliant week for books.
Over the course of a couple of visits to Booths I have managed to pick up all the the books in the photo, for just £1 each off the charity book table. There has obviously been a few people around town sorting through their reading matter. It definitely pays to say yes, when Alan asks me if I want a coffee with him when he's going for a bacon bun for his breakfast. 😃
Especially when he's getting more shopping then me and pays for my three items as well.
Yes the total sum of my shopping this week is a tub of ice-cream, to go with the rhubarb from the garden, a pack of brown buns and a lovely little lavender plant. I have just about enough space to squeeze it into a gap in the flower bed. ⚘
I also have ten pounds to add to my purse after successfully selling the two pans and the steamer that I no longer needed on Facebook marketplace. A nice simple transaction, and to someone who was really pleased to get them for that price.
A successful week.
Have a good weekend everyone, now I'm off for a read. 😀

We read 'Educated' at book club some while back... I'll be interested to see what you think.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've had a great week!
That's a good heap of books - hope you enjoy them. I've only read the James Rebanks, which was good. I sent the latest Katie FFord back to the library unread - I'm sure she's not writing as well as she did years ago
ReplyDeleteCoincidence - last week, I picked up the James Banks for 50p on a charity table in the supermarket!
ReplyDeleteA great haul of books indeed.. I've read a few of them Educated was a great read!
ReplyDeleteI've got the James Rebank book in my pile of books to read. Perhaps I will start to make a dent in the pile this summer, whilst it's Too Hot to Do Things Outside.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've picked up a nice assortment of books to read. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great haul. Well worth going with Alan.
ReplyDeleteGreat books there. They should keep you reading for a while :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested in your opinion of Raising Hare. I've got it to read but I'm a bit apprehensive that what I'm going to find is someone who took a wild animal that didn't need rescuing - hares do leave their young all day.
ReplyDeleteThe James Rebanks book was good. Herdwicks are my favourite sheep 🐑.
I loved reading this. I won't say too much, but think she realised she maybe shouldn't have rescued the hare. A surprising twist at the end. Hope you enjoy the book.
DeleteI have read James Rebanks and raising hare. He has a great X account and is making great progress in the way he farms now.
