… because I couldn’t face the crowds on Oxford Street. So I decided to spend some time in the bookstores instead.
Four Georgette Heyer crime / mystery novels, reissued by Arrow Books. What can I say - I’m a sucker for covers.
Dorothy Sayers’ Hangman’s Holiday - a collection of her short crime stories. I’m starting to get into her books now [...]

First got into Rachel [...]

This are books I own, but haven’t yet gotten around to reading (or finishing):
Wolf Tales (Kate Douglas)
Got this because a post on LLB made me curious enough to pick this up, but have not yet been in the right mood to actually start reading.
Crazy Sweet (Tara Janzen)
Well, I had to get this because I really [...]

Well… let’s see how this blogging business goes. I’m hoping I’m not going to lose interest and come to a complete halt in a few months’ time (gosh, that’s a negative way to start!).
Here goes…
