desayunoencamaBrought 5 books over to the second hand bookshop today. But, oops, came home with 9, which were:
THE SEVENTH RAVEN, a YA thriller by Peter Dickinson
DEATH IN THE FIFTH POSITION, a mystery by Gore Vidal writing as Edgar Box
GIRL IN BUCKSIN, a YA novel by Dorothy Gilman (didn't know she wrote YAs)
A PIECE OF JUSTICE, an Imogen Quy mystery by Jill Patton Walsh (I liked her posthumous Sayers well enough, but haven't tried any of her own ficion).
BLOODHOUNDs, a mystery by Peter Lovesey
KRINDLEKRAX, a YA by Philip Ridley which I already have but it was a Euro and while it's not as brilliant as IN THE EYES OF MR. FURY, I don't often come across Ridley so I picked it up
CATERING TO NOBODY and THE LAST SUPPERS, culinary mysteries by Diane Mott Davidson. I've never read anything by her, although I know my grandmother has a few of them down in Florida. THE LAST SUPPERS opens: "Never cater your own wedding reception. It's bad luck, sort of like the groom seeing the bride before the service." Which I thought was cute enough, and thy were on the 3 for 5Euro shelf...
THE EMPEROR'S BABE, by Bernardine Evariste, a chick-lit novel-in-verse set in ancient Londinium about Sudanese Zuleika's affair with the visiting Roman Emperor Septimus Severus when her husband is out of town on business... also on the 3 for 5 Euro shelf, so how could one go too far wrong?
