Oops!...I Did It Again

It seems I can't walk past The Works without popping in and buying some new books. Their 3 for £5 offer is just too good to pass up, especially when I've found some really good books on this offer in the past.

This time I've bought books from three authors I've never heard of before. I'm trying to branch out a bit and read books which I wouldn't usually reach for, the books on this offer encourage me to do that, I've had some very good books from The Works.

Yesterday I had some flea and worm treatment to pick up from the vets for Archie (don't worry, only preventative, he hasn't got either fleas or worms) and there's a large charity shop nearby, one I've never been in before, so I thought I'd have a quick look seeing as I was passing. I came out with another three books. I've never read anything from these authors before either, though I do have a Kristin Hannah book waiting to be read which Maggie from BlackCountry Wench blog sent me a while ago. It's the sequel to another book so I've had that on order at the library for ages, I'm just waiting for it to come in. 

Then I went into another charity shop and found A Mother Forever by Elaine Everest. I've read all of her books except this one, which is her latest, so I was very pleased to find this on the shelf.

I do have other books waiting to be read first but I'm always pleased to have plenty of books waiting in the wings.

  1. I love having books ready to read, I have read Erica James, hers are always a light easy read. I hope to get the book promised to you in the post today.

  2. Lots of lovely books there Jo, I've read lots of Erica James and I think I've read that one, I always forget what I've read and sometimes end up getting the same book again. Enjoy your reading. Xx

  6. They all sound good Jo & I wish I had the inclination to read these days as I used too. I've read quite a few of Erica James' books & enjoyed. Happy reading, take care & hugs.

  8. Enjoy your reading, some nice books there and bargains too. Regarding Archie's flea and worm treatments, I've signed up to the monthly scheme with Pets at Home and have had my first order delivered through the post and the first doses were entirely free. It's a direct debit so can cancel whenever I like but I do need to look up how often the puppy will need them as I didn't treat my last dog monthly.

  10. It's always good to have some new reading material and The Works must be a good way to get some bargains. Apparently we have an outlet of The Works in our local high street so soon I might venture out and take a look.

  12. After reading comments here I think I'd better try "All the light " again as it was a fail first time.

  13. Going to charity shops for a browse reminds me of the "good ol' days" :) It's hit or miss as to whether you will find something & it's always nice when you do.

  14. I hope you enjoy the books. I haven't picked up a proper book in ages (I really should). I have been listening to audiobooks though.
