Still reading & enjoying Kenneth Cameron's Victorian crime novel, The Bohemian Girl,and bought Val McDermid's A Darker Domain in The British Heart Foundation shop today. They always have a huge stock and shelves are alphabetical too. Never read McDermid,but this one features the 1984 Miner's Strike which I'm interested in.

Single: Reward by The Teardrop Explodes Album: New Boots & Panties by Ian Dury & The Blockheads

Tried to finish The Stolen Child by Keith Donohue last night but kept nodding off(not 'cos the book's that bad!),finished it earlier this morn(fairies/changelings),and started The Bohemian Girl by Kenneth Cameron after.(Victorian London/crime)

I buy from both Alibris & Amazon Marketplace and have got a lot of bargains thru the years,but also enjoy browsing in libraries/bookshops. I visited Durham a few weeks ago and must've spent about 45 minutes browsing in their Oxfam shop with that old booky smell and great background music! It helps when their shelves are alphabetical. I was quite amazed at finding 3 books on my TBR list.

I read this earlier this year and thought it excellent and a great debut novel. Also agree it would make a good film.

Finished City Of Thieves by David Banioff at 7a.m this morn:roll: and it's in the top 5 books I've read this year. Started The Stolen Child by Keith Donohue this afternoon.

I'm a 17 yr old Russian boy in Stalingrad of '41 which the Germans have surrounded. I 've 'stolen' from a dead German parachutist and after spending a night in prison with a young Russian 'deserter' the officer-in-charge has offered us freedom if we can find him a dozen eggs for his daughter's wedding cake!

Reading City Of Thieves by David Benioff now,and The Bohemian Girl by Kenneth Cameron arrived today.
