Books I added to my shelves
It's been a quiet week, which is no bad thing considering the amount of unread books I already own.
My brother lent me A Fort of Nine Towers by Qais Akbar Omar, which is a true story. It looks pretty good.
What have you been up to this week?
Nice haul! A Fort of Nine Towers has such a pretty cover!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!

When I get to Sunday I'm always grateful for a quiet book week but during the week I'm always a little disappointed if the postman has nothing for me!
ReplyDeleteI know. I dislike not getting post, but looking at my crammed bookshelves I'm glad for the brief reprieve.

I LOVED Jacqueline Wilson as a child - I'm not surprised the queue for her was the longest!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same as everyone else - I like a quiet week as I already have so many books to read, but I do feel a little sad that the postman hasn't brought anything and that I don't have the excitement of a new book <3

The queue wrapped around the tent about three times, it was crazy, but fun and very good natured.

Nice haul. I hope you enjoy them all. :)

I love quiet weeks where you can read as much as you like.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books.
Yes, and it's a bank holiday this week so I get an extra day off to read - woo hoo!

I read JW books as a teenager and I loved them. Waiting for the sky to fall was one I read over and over. Enjoy :-)

I imagine reading Hetty Feather will prompt me to go and pick up other books by Wilson. Just what I need - another author to get addicted to!

The Wilson books look really cute. I don't think I've seen anything by this author before. Hope you enjoy your new reads!
ReplyDeleteWilson is huge here. Her books have been made into television programmes, and kids adore her work.
