Defo didn't buy this one, by Elleston Trevor (also wrote as Adam Hall - the Quiller books etc) Or this. Nom Nom Nom. You can't prove it, and Doctor Wifey trusts me not to buy books on the sly.
I did not buy these books. You can’t prove I did.
Barbel or Babel – clever pun by Douglas Adams?
So, am reading and enjoying "Cast in Order of Disappearance," a 1975 book by Simon Brett. It's a comic murder mystery, the one that introduces semi-alcoholic actor Charles Parris (played by Bill Nighy in the radio adaptations). At one point Charles goes fishing with his son-in-law, and the word barbel leapt off the page. So, I added it... Continue Reading →
“Providence Place” – another book I DID NOT buy and anyone who says I did is a dirty liar…
This book didn't arrive yesterday. This book, that didn't arrive yesterday, was written by Jacky Gillott (more of her books haven't arrived, won't arrive). She was an up-and-coming novelist and essayist. She did the whole "Good Life" thing in the mid-1970s (this book is part of that genre. And I intend to read it alongside... Continue Reading →
“The Genesis Rock” – New York as Pompeii… #GloriousTrashFiction
No, this book definitely didn't turn up today. Because I am not buying any more books, and anyone who says I am is as honest as Boris Joflyhnson.

LOOK AT THIS BAG. No, there are no books in it. (It’s all my mother-in-law’s fault)
There was a benefit sale for Gaza today. My mother-in-law flagged it on Twitter. I went, and bought this very cool bag for Dr Wifey, proceeds to charity. No, I didn't buy any books. Those are NOT books inside the bag. Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?
Books I definitely didn’t buy at a Barnado’s in Levy a while back, and why I bought them
Went to visit a friend in darkest Stockport a while back. On the way back, I was dragged by mysterious forces into a charity shop. Here's a table of all the books I definitely didn't buy, how much I didn't pay for each (they were all 25p), and comments on why I didn't buy them.... Continue Reading →
