I know I have neglected this blog shamefully of late, but I have not had anything new to read, apart from Agatha Christie - and reviewing Agatha Christie or talking about her books is rather a pointless exercise, for one cannot say much without giving away the ending. But yesterday there was a fete on at my church and secondhand books were 3 for $1! So I have splurged. I bought The Phoenix and the Carpet and The Enchanted Castle by Edith Nesbit, The Ordinary Princess (which I happen to own a copy of already - but it is a dear little book!), George's Marvellous Medicine, Stories by O. Henry, and six (count 'em, my loves, six!) Georgette Heyers. I know that Georgette Heyer's books look like Mills and Boons, but really! Do you think I would waste $2 on a set of romance novels? Romance novels forsooth! These are fun, light little period novels and I'm already halfway through The Convenient Marriage. Enjoying myself highly.More to follow at a later date, I hope!
