The Work We Were Born To Do by Nick Williams

Lookin' for ideas to keep me out of the 9 to 5 world

In hopeful anticipation of an autumn walking weekend there (hopefully a dry one!)...

Walks on the Howgill Fells: And Adjoining Fells by A. Wainwright

(We stayed in Sedbergh on our Dales Way walk & I am wanting to go back & spend more time in that area!)

The Four Queens: The Provencal Sisters Who Ruled Europe by Nancy Goldstone
Who Murdered Chaucer by Terry Jones (yes, of Monty Python)
Blood and Roses: The Paston Family in the Fifteenth Century by Helen Castor

Yeah, I'm boring....

New Worlds, Lost Worlds: The Rule of the Tudors, 1485-1603 by Susan Brigden.

Mostly because I'm a massive, massive nerd, but also because I'm going to be studying Shakespeare for my MFA this fall, and I want to get as much historical background as I can.

Ha!  You are just as nerdy as me!!  Nice!

Four books for £1 outside one of my favourite pubs! How could I resist?!?

A Foreign Affair by John Rowe Townsend
The Purple Dress: Growing Up in the Thirties by Jenifer Wayne
The Tremor of Forgery by Patricia Highsmith
Frenchman's Creek by Daphne du Maurier (I already own a different edition of this book, but I couldn't resist this gorgeous 1943 edition with dust jacket in excellent condition!)

Blue Shoes and Happiness by Alexander McCall Smith.

Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell.

Very interesting guy. Also enjoyed his Blink recently.

The Outsiders.  Hardback with the bratpack cover.    Tre cool.  And a student cookbook.  Both for the teenager, both from a charity shop for about 69p each.

OMG! I almost bought that today! It was all of SE Hinton's books in one big volume! But it had Matt Dillon on the cover and, as lovely as he is, there's that issue of movie book covers.

OH! You shoulda bought it!  I bought it BECAUSE of the movie cover.  We already have a couple of other editions.  But I thought the teenager would get a kick out of it.

See that is where I make an exception with movie book covers.  Yum

It's just one big volume with all the books in it. If you really want it, I can go back tomorrow and see if it's there! But I think it's supposed to rain and I'm not sure if they set up the book stall on rainy days. I'll definitely go back on the first un-rainy day, though!

(It's 25p. I don't think you have to pay me back.)

Is it really big?  Hmm, well if it's there then yes please, but if it's raining obviously please don't go.  You rock!
