Two charity shop books today - Crippen and Mutiny on the Bounty, both by John Boyne.  A bit expensive for charity shop books at £2.00 and £2.25 but they are both in excellent condition.

Just received two books from the same lady in the USA via bookmooch -

The Best Cat Ever by Cleveland Amory

The Cat And The Curmudgeon by Cleveland Amory

I'm really pleased as I now have a full set of these and they are all in great condition.

Crippen's really hard to get hold of cheap so that's still a bargain! :)

I went out and bought Genesis by Karin Slaughter, I just can't wait any longer! Also picked up a copy of The Other Hand by Chris Cleave for 99p in Age Concern.

Despite trying not to acquire any new books until September - I've failed miserably and got a mooch today of I'm A Believer by Jessica Adams and I got Eating Peaches by Tara Heavey yesterday too!!  And I've just mooched 3 more!  I'm pathetic  Least I didn't buy any though and I have got rid of a load lately  - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!

 Just found Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman in the bottom of the postbox !

Just one The Embers of Heaven by Alma Alexander which I bought new for £1.00. I have the first book The Secrets of Jin -Shei tbr.....
