New Books - It's Been A While

[bookgazing]

I’ve been really good with my book buying lately. I’ve been sticking to my 1 - 2 books a month rule, in an effort not to spend all the money for my house deposit on books. Let me show you what now counts as a Bookgazing book buying blow out now:


‘The Drowned Cities’ – Pauolo Bacigallupi


‘Ash Mistry and the Savage Fortress’ – Sarwat Chadda


‘The Killing Moon’ – N K Jemisin


‘Happy Families’ – Tanita S Davis

I know, I’m so restrained now! As I’m spending so little money on books this year (compared to what I’d usually spend) I’m trying to mostly buy books that I want and feel especially need reader support. I would love to see all three of these writers’ new projects succeed.

And then I went to the library and got:


‘Alone in Berlin’ – Hans Fallada


‘The Heart of the Matter’ – Graham Greene

Why yes, I use the library now. Victoria from Eve’s Alexandria told me I probably could use the library near work, despite having previously being refused a card because I lived in a different county and it turns out she was right. Now it’s super convenient to take a trip to the library and as it was recently refurbished, it’s lovely to visit. The library is where I get all my books by dead authors now, because they don’t need money to fund their writing careers.

What has everyone else picked up recently?
