With a bit of Christmas money from my lovely clients setting my pockets ablaze and burning a big hole in them I found out by chance that a Horsham born and bred author, Tony Wales [sadly no longer with us] had written these books which weren't on my radar. I have a couple of well thumbed titles by him already on my shelf, but that naughty preloved marketplace on that site which shares its name with a famous South American river drew me in with all its wickedly tempting offers. I have already finished the folklore one and learnt new things about my adopted home county.
Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend.

We hope you got your pockets mended shortly afterwards. Pocket-mending is our February resolution apparently; the holes are still bleeding money even though Christmas is behind us. (4 members of the family have birthdays in the 3 weeks after Christmas!)
ReplyDeleteWe have the same in our family running through from May to July....birthdays galore! Arilx
DeleteWhat better way to use gift money than to buy books. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIn my world books will always be the first thing I spend any gift money on! Arilx
DeleteOOOOOOOOOOOh...books! Shares it's name with a river. Now that made me laugh and I don't even know why. I prefer to use Better World Books which not only collects books, it donates books for every book you buy. (Plus they offer enticing coupons...)
ReplyDeleteI often use Abe books which are very competitive with Amazon. Arilx
