I hope you’ve all had a great weekend. I wanted to catch up on my blog reading and unfortunately here it is almost time to go to bed and I didn’t get a chance to do that. Don’t you hate it when that happens?
Anyway, I had a good weekend and even managed to do a bit of spring cleaning. Part of that meant weeding out the shelves and taking some bags of books to Half Price Books. While I waited for my offer of course I found some books I had to have.
As you can see from the picture I got The Last Girl by Jane Casey. I love the Maeve Kerrigan series so I was excited to find this one. This is the third book in the series.
I also picked up Phantom Lady by Cornell Woolrich. I’d never heard of this author or the book but I thought the cover was very interesting. The link to the book is to a limited hard cover edition but I thought you might like to see that. Anyway, I think this might be a great choice for my Vintage Mystery reading challenge.
Then I saw a book with the bitten apple logo of Virago Modern Classics on the spine and I had to pick it up. The Land of Green Ginger by Winifred Holtby a story about a young woman who dreams of romance but after she marries a young man who has fought in WWI, she’ll have to adjust to reality.
I was very excited with my finds and when I checked out I got a little postcard about an upcoming sale. I don’t know if you can read that in the picture but it says “Everything $2 or Less.” I’m putting this on my calendar for sure!
Hope you have a great start of the weekend and I’m going back to my book for mystery book group. I am not done yet.
I was in Half Price Books in the last few days too. Also got the same little notice about that sale. Bet it will be packed, but the price is certainly right. Hope you enjoy THE LAST GIRL. I’ve got it on my list to read soon.
Definitely looks like some great books! I wish we had a Half Price Books near where I live, but oh well. The cover of Phantom Lady certainly looks very interesting, so I am looking forward to hearing about it.
Any weekend that involves books shopping is a good weekend in my opinion. I did some spring cleaning too though I have not managed to get the books into bags to go sell yet. I have them all cataloged so first have to remove them from the list. Perhaps next weekend when the weather is supposed to be cold and gray.
Enjoy your new books! I started a big overhaul of the shelves on the weekend that I am sure is going to take a while!
I liked The Last Girl, but liked book 4 (The Stranger You Know) even better because it covered a lot of Derwent’s back story. Can. Not. Wait. for the next Maeve Kerrigan! Phantom Lady sounds interesting!
I had planned to get in a little blog reading last night before bed, but decided to read instead. I’m trying to make up for it today. I am glad you had a good weekend! I put off doing any real cleaning this weekend. I need to find homes for all my daughter’s birthday gifts somewhere in my house. You always find the best books! Enjoy.
Have a great week!
Sounds like you’d a great weekend and those books sound good! I haven’t been clearing my shelves for a while and I find that I work best if the mood strikes, LOL. Happy reading!
