Wait for Me and Book Barn visit.

Not much reading this week - tired at the end of each day and so could do no more than read a couple of pages of The Daughter of Time, which I will sit down and finish as soon as I've posted this. However, I've just been pottering about on Amazon and realised Debo Devonshire's newly published memoirs are on sale for £9 (publisher's price £20). So I did not resist (in fact I didn't try very hard) and they are now winging their way Bath-wards. As an online book group friend said about these only yesterday - 'Eekington Squeakington!!'

I paid a visit to the Book Barn on Monday afternoon after accompanying a friend to a hospital appointment in Bristol. My goodness, they're in a mess! They are apparently rearranging stock, but there were piles everywhere, it was sooo disorganised and all the Viragos had gone. I asked the two women on the till and they clearly didn't know what Viragos were, still less where they'd gone (sigh...). At least everything is currently £1, so I returned with eight books. But I suspect they're actually withdrawing all the decent stuff for internet sales and it would never surprise me to see the place shut to callers. Let's wait and see.
