Reading as a cheap hobby

Yay just picked up 4 Kate Atkinson books from my local library, if you order them and they are on the system but not at the branch it costs 80p per book, but they are such good books they are worth every penny to order

Just finished none of this is true.    

What did you think of the book?

I enjoyed it.  It’s crime but fantasy as well.   And definitely an ending with another book to follow.   Took a few chapters to get into it but I was pleased I did.   I don’t think it will be to everyone’s taste tho.

I paid 50p each to reserve four of The Blind Detective series by Christina Koning. They will be delivered to our local library. 

The town library had covered Ordinance Survey maps for sale at 20p. I suggested that the grandsons might try map reading and plan a walk. We used to borrow maps and guide books for our holidays, and visit the local library on holiday.

I'm on my 19th book of the year. The Psychopath Next Door - Mark Edwards. I'm not really enjoying it to be honest and I'm about halfway through.

Picked up a Simon Schama hard back at a charity shop for £1.  Called Dead Certainties.  I bought it for the OH as he likes Schama as his take on history is so interesting.  This apparently is a historical fiction about the death of General Wolf in Quebec so I might take a look at it too at some point.
