Recent Acquisitions #75
A trip out to a nearby town that has a Waterstones today. Didn't find what I was looking for, although I thought I'd set the bar low enough--a science fiction book by a woman that I hadn't already read. Nope. Nada. Zilch.
Much promotion for To Kill a Mockingbird and its sequel/prequel/first draft/whatevs.
The Empire of Necessity: The Untold Story of a Slave Rebellion in the Age of Liberty by Greg Grandin (reduced to £8 from £25);
To Catch a Rabbit by Helen Cadbury (who signed the book for me);
Arctic Dreams by Barry Lopez;
Confronting the Classics by Mary Beard
and
a present for my dad which shall remain nameless (his birthday's in September).
Then to the charity shop that has a large book section.
The Four-Gated City by Doris Lessing;
False Colours by Georgette Heyer
and
The Woman Upstairs by Claire Messud.
Not a bad haul. Expensive day out though!
