You picked up a few gems there in the library sale - there seems to be a real resurgence with Agatha Christie at the moment, I haven't read any of her stuff as of yet.
ReplyDeleteCool challenge. What about books received to review?
ReplyDeleteChris and Jess - I have noticed an increase in interest in AC too, hope it translates into more people reading good crime fiction.
ReplyDeleteKiwicraig - Good question, I have no answer. Also, what about the books received as gifts? I'll try contacting Sea..

ReplyDeleteI don't dare do a Challenge like this! The second I make myself keep track of my book buying is the second I will come face to face with my incurable book addiction! ;)
Enbrethiliel, I am pretty addicted to buying books too, in spite of the huge TBR pile at home and a pile from the library! Well, I guess of all addictions, this is the best kind!
ReplyDeleteA Place of Execution and Hogfather are great books! I hope you enjoy them. It looks like the library haul was an success!
ReplyDeleteI found you through the book blogger hop.
