Some are books I've read and wanted to own, some I've heard good things about, some are authors I wanted to try. A nice pile of acquisitions - I'm pleased. And where are these books going to go, you might ask? I've no idea. Into a box, probably, until we move to a bigger house and I can have a library. With tall, dark bookshelves, leather armchairs, an elegant little writing desk, and of course, shelves and shelves of neatly alphebetised books.
