At the top of my list it says 'Buy fewer books for self - borrow more from the Library.' Yes in these times of financial hardship I decided that it was crazy not to make use of the public library service. After all if there is a book Iwant to read available in West Lothian, then all I have to do is request it and as soon as it is available it is delivered here to school on a Tuesday. Ideal! Well, yes I have been doing that, indeed the latest Paul Torday arrived on Tuesday a nice, new hardback which I am the first to borrow. However I had 'forgotten' that I had pre-ordered a couple of books on Amazon, the first of which arrived on my doorstep on the third of January!
Ah well! It is still only January and I will try harder. If only my son would stop suggesting that we meet for coffee in Glasgow at a place that combines cakes with second hand books! OOPS!
Have only just started this book will review later.
My downfall! Had read the first book in this series by Peter May (The black house) attracted to it because it is set in the Ness area of Lewis and I have family connections there. Both books are really evocative of the Lewis landscape and way of life as well as being fairly decent murder mysteries.
