Can't wait to hear what you think!<br /><br />Yeah, it's huge fun in the charity shops and nice that you're not spending mega-bucks but helping charities too. And you just never know what you might find! Hope you post about your finds.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-28928857744987045512011-09-05T06:07:26.975+01:002011-09-05T06:07:26.975+01:00Oooh, I just did a charity shop run on Friday too,...Oooh, I just did a charity shop run on Friday too, and have to post about it! I love your finds, especially the Rizzo and Isles (sp?) which I am just about to finally start - The Surgeon I had to special order in, and I got it in time for RIP! I'm excited! I love your pictures of both, too. It's so much fun to see what we can find at a charity shop, isn't it?Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-47673003893272512922011-08-26T08:52:31.174+01:002011-08-26T08:52:31.174+01:00Audrey: The Warden certainly goes into a lot more ...Audrey: The Warden certainly goes into a lot more background detail that various explanations in Barchester Towers, so I too am very glad that I read it first.

Mine was... *cough*... 80p. Had no idea I'd found such a bargain. It's also nice that you like it so much as I know we have similar tastes in books.<br /><br />Nicola: It's years since I read Green Dolphin Country but I can remember liking it a lot.

I've got the last of the series, The Herb of Grace, but I must get round to finding the first two again.

I'm determined to read at least 4 books off this pile though and maybe more! Trouble is, I troll around to other blogs to see what they're reading................<br /><br />Yvonne: LOl... yes, I went with the intention of getting something. And the charity shops in my daughter's part of Exeter are very reasonable price-wise. The FORCE shop there sell their books for under £1 mostly and the Devon Air Ambulance for 50p. As charity shops go, I realise that's cheap.<br /><br />No, no... I'll still use the library. LOL.<br /><br />Eight DdM books sounds like a good buy to me! She's a brilliant author. I love Frenchman's Creek and The House on the Strand. <br /><br />Kailana: I think having a list and crossing books off helps me to actually get rid of something off the tbr mountain. Even if I don't read the whole list.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-31858139746957485872011-08-23T02:52:00.152+01:002011-08-23T02:52:00.152+01:00I am really looking forward to RIP.

I knew that you wouldn't be able to ...Hi Cath,<br /><br />I knew that you wouldn't be able to come back with nothing ... but all those books for less than a fiver is fantastic value!<br /><br />I guess that your great haul won't stop you from your regular venture into the library though?<br /><br />I'm frightened to take pictures of my bookshelves, it looks a little like a very busy corner of Waterstones! Say no more.<br /><br />I picked up a great boxed set of 8 Daphne du Maurier books the other day for a fantastic price. Mother-in-law encouraged me to buy them, by offering to split the cost if we could both read them. Honestly you would think she would know better than to encourage me!Yvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-46136481762415508232011-08-22T11:32:24.200+01:002011-08-22T11:32:24.200+01:00wow!

Even if you hadn't intended on reading them..you look and go.. "well for the price, maybe I'll try it" ..and that's all she wrote! lol<br /><br />Ahhh the grand rip pile! Mine is big too! Thankfully you have a few smaller books mixed in so you will do well!.. I've read only two from your group..drood and little stranger... I need to take pics of the rip pile too.. if I also took out the 3 dickens books I have and lord fauntlaroy and a few others I have the pile would be huge..but I am not including them..too many books to put away again LOLDesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.com
