The library has been a godsend this winter with me making frequent calls to pick up books I have requested. Here's what is on my bedside table at the moment, not all library books.
I have dipped into all the titles in the first pic. Am really enjoying "Dickens and His Carol" as it is witty and well written. I'm having a harder time with "The Prisoner's Wife" as it is a rather bleak and horrific description of life in a POW camp in Germany toward the end of WW ll. The Isabel Allende book I think I have read before but it is so interesting that I think I will continue with it, but first I will read "The Paris Hours" as I only have it and the other library books for 3 weeks. Happy days!
The second photo is books that I have for backup, in case I run out of anything from the library, mostly borrowed from friends. I, luckily, have several friends who are also keen readers like myself.
Writing down a few of these to see if I can find them here.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Hope you can get them and that you enjoy them.
DeleteI'm a big fan of the Maisie Dobbs books by Jacqueline Winspear. You have great choices on your bedside table!
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first but I have requested another from the library.
DeleteLove the Maisie Dobbs books. I'll make a note of the Dickens Christmas one ready for ordering when the libraries re-open as it sounds good. This latest lockdown here has completely closed libraries in Suffolk even for reserving books and picking them up which they were able to do last time
ReplyDeleteThat is a shame. I have come to rely very heavily on the library.
DeleteWhat a wonderful selection of good reads. I read Dickens & His Carol at Christmas time & I quite enjoyed, then I watched the Alister Sims version of the movie - it's a combo I'll do again next year. Right now I'm staying away from any real life sad stories. I am so thankful I like to read, I am so thankful for access to a great library.
ReplyDeleteYes, let's hope we can keep on accessing the libraries in some form!
