David has been tidying up in Secondhand - some collections to whet your appetite! As it is a cold, wet, windy day what better way to spend it than in a bookshop or reading?!

Will have a look and see why

I LOVED Georgette Heyer when I was young! Georgette and Josephine Tey for some reason obsessed me as a teen!

Have I mentioned that this ebook is FREE for the next five days?

I know that the web is littered with free books, but this one normally costs money.

Actually - I’m writing a blog for the website about scariest books for Halloween & as it is one genre I haven’t read widely (because they do actually keep me up at night & afraid to go to the loo), do you have any recommendations that I should definitely include?

I like that things like this happen …

It can happen to you. Never give up on the dream.

Oh no!! That shouldn’t be there at all! Will look at it!

We like our wish-lists and we are not fans of ads … they cost money that we’d much rather spend on books!

It has taken us YEARS to be able to do this! Even before Mick & Kevin took over at Chapters, when the Internet was still new & web addresses came in a directory, they talked about being able to trade in via a website … 30 years later I give you …

Yes, because they are so much more precise. Yesterday in response to my post I was introduced to ‘susurration’ from the Latin susurrare (“to murmur, hum, or whisper”), which is also lovely & so imitative.

Oh that is good! I might manage it - I was struggling & then there was a mental block.
