Twelve days into August and I am still reading my first book of the month!!
I have times like these where the book is waiting and for some reason I am not quite in the zone to pick it up. It's not that it is a bad book, perhaps it's not quite gripping my attention the way some previous ones have, but it is good enough to finish and I am determined to do so.
I have my little pile of three more books that I picked out at the start of the month to be read during August, and I have since added another to the pile, but first I need to finish this one.
The charity book table and shelves ... yes the choice has grown now ... at Booths has been full of such a wide selection of books for the past few weeks. People are obviously having a good clear out and donating lots, but I have been good and not bought a single one. I look every time we go in there, just in case there is a real treasure to be had, but I am trying to be a lot more discerning at the moment and not add to my already heaving bookcases and piles at home.
But I always look. 😁
Edited to add: I have just found out via the Booths Facebook page that Booths charity book tables have raised over £71,000 pounds between them for their locally nominated charities from last August to this. Wow!! ❤️
Now I'm off for a read.
What are you reading at the moment?

My downstairs reading is Tim Weaver - The Last Goodbye, a murder-mystery and pretty good (off the charity books pile in CO-op, Upstairs I am reading a doorstep of a book, Ken Follet's A Column of Fire. Slow going, as I can only manage a few pages of either each day. I have a new one on Audible (2 for 1 deal) - C J Parris' Execution, about the Babbington Plot and very good. If I see my sort of book/s on the charity stand I will get them, as they don't turn up very often.
ReplyDeleteAm reading ‘Story teller’ by Dave Grohl, unusual as I am over 70 years old, but a very candid and interesting book. Jan in CG
ReplyDeleteJust finished Rob Rinder's 3rd 'The Protest' - It was really good and of course court details are excellent
ReplyDeleteLa Vie by John Stempel Lewis. I love his nature writing.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying The Blind Detective series by Christina Koning. Three are on order from the library for 50p each in reservation fees.
