…… who said I have a lot of courage (Garfield)
Remember my self imposed ban to purchase more books. Well I just lift it and went through a shopping spree. I bought:
- The Inspector and Silence, by Hakan Nesser
- The Wings of the Sphinx, by Andrea Camilleri
- Diamond Dove, by Adrian Hyland
- The Ice Princess, by Camila Läckberg
- A Quiet Belief in Angels, by R. J. Ellory
- Lennox, by Craig Rusell
- Last Rituals, by Yrsa Sigurdardottir
- The Crossing Places, by Elly Griffiths
- Bad Intentions, by Karin Fossum (pre-ordered)
Afraid a new ban is on its way, the question remains, till when….
>José Ignacio – Well, honestly, with books like that, how can you maintain a ban? I think you're going to really enjoy those reads. I'll be very interested to know what you think of them!
>I understand all too well! You seem to have made some excellent choices to re-start your book purchasing career – I am looking forward to your reviews of these. In particular I'd be interested to know how Elly Griffiths' The Crossing Places appeals to a male reader (I think all the ecstatic reviews I've read are by women, who love Ruth Galloway).
>Good for the book business that we are so easy to tempt 😀 I don´t know, but I could imagine you´d enjoy Ruth Galloway very much. Some of the Swedish, housewifey protagonists annoy me quite a bit, but Ruth is so much more interesting.
>Jose Ignacio — I've read three of these, have one in my TBR and have 2 more on my buy/find list. I think you'll be happy with many of them.Also I think I was one who said I hoped you could do it because I couldn't, so you'll get no teasing from me. 😀
>I tend to do the same thing Jose Ignacio – ban myself for a while then splurge on all the things I would have bought during the ban period. I think it misses the point in the end but I keep reminding myself there are worse things to be addicted to.I think you've made some great choices though (of the ones I've read) and I look forward to hearing your thoughts
