Been buying books on a short holiday.Riddle of the Third Mile, and The Way Through The Woods, by Colin Dexter.The Case of the Drowning Duck, by Erle Stanley Gardner. Harlen Coben's One False Move. Another of Ian Rankin's Rebus novels, but I can't put my hand on it and can't remember the title. Also, Two book have been given me, Remember,Remember, (bite sized chunks of history) by Judy Parkingson, and 1966, And All That, (Modern history you can't remember) by Craig Brown.
On top of that I have two library books to read, so I think I have enough for a while.
