More books!
Tonight after work I met lytteltonwitch in town, and she gave me a lift over to Beckenham to pick up the second lot of books I’d won on Trade Me. Again, a very mixed bag:
- The Diary of Anne Frank
- Duncton Wood by William Horwood
- Duncton Rising by William Horwood
- Angel Hunt by mike Ripley
- The Moon Spinners by Mary Stewart
- My Brother Michael by Mary Stewart
- The Gabriel Hounds by Mary Stewart
- Thunder on the Right by Mary Stewart
- King’s Close by Christine Marion Fraser
- The Eye of the Tiger by Wilbur Smith
- The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame
Scruffy by Paul Gallico - Basket Case by Carl Hiaasen
- The Nutmeg of Consolation by Patrick O’Brian
- Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt
- Open Sesame by Tom Holt
- The Luberon Garden by Alex Dingwall-Main
- Animal Farm by George Orwell
- Very Good, Jeeves! by PG Wodehouse
- Pearls, Girls and Monty Bodkin by PG Wodehouse
The third lot I’d bid on were all political books, which I’d thought would be good for release in Wellington, but the auction didn’t meet the reserve, and the seller wanted $20 as a “buy now” price (which is expensive for books I could easily get cheaply from a secondhand bookshop) so I gave up on them. But between the two lots I did win, I’ve got about 30 books, and Mum did mention something about having cleared out their bookshelves and that she’d be bringing a box of books up this weekend, so I won’t be totally short of books for Wellington 🙂

Reading must be very BIG where you live. It’s nice to hear it.
