Secondhand Books

I went a little crazy at an enormous secondhand book sale this weekend:-

The White Garden by Carmel Bird
Angel's Gate by Gary Crew
Wild Women edited by Sue Thomas
High Tide in Tuscon by Barbara Kingsolver
Cosmo Cosmolino by Helen Garner
Raising the Stones by Sheri S Tepper
The Hours by Michael Cunningham
Chocolat by Joanne Harris
The Mistress of Spices by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
Prospero's Children by Jan Siegel
Walking to Mercury by Starhawk
The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul by Douglas Adams
The Windsingers by Megan Lindholm
The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger (for Mum)
Human Croquet by Kate Atkinson (also for Mum)

I've read most of them, but am looking forward to re-reading all of them, and reading The White Garden, Wild Women and Northanger Abbey for the first time. Aaaah - the oh-so-addictive pleasure of getting new books.
