I was doing so well, really well actually. I almost got the number of books I had bought but hadn’t read under a two digit figure (not including the library books I loaned) and I went and ruined it all with a trip to my trusty local Oxfam shop. The best (and the worst) thing about going to charity shops is that you end up finding things you hadn’t known you wanted. It’s a great way to discover a new book or author. Maybe thats why I find it physically impossible to stop myself from stepping inside once I’m on the right street. Here are my buys:
- Brokeback Mountain by Annie Proulx
- Going the Distance edited by Alan Beard
- Blaming by Elizabeth Taylor
- The Oxford Book of Short Stories by V. S. Pritchett
- How to be a Dragonfly by Patricia Debney
- The Floating Man by Katherine Towers
