Charity Shop Haul!
I love charity shops. They're a great resource for books, whether you're an occasional reader or a prolific reader. You can find books on everything for really cheap, the books I found this month ranged from 10p to maximum £1.50. I thought I'd share some of the charity shop book bargains I've found this month.
Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte: I don't actually own my own paper copy of "Wuthering Heights", so when I decided to pick one up when I next saw one in a charity. I'm also a sucker for a nice cover.
The Silk Roads, by Peter Frankopan: I read some of Frankopan's work for university assignments and wanted to give this one a go. It was the first time I'd seen it in a charity shop and for £1.50 I thought I'd give it a try.
America's Queen, by Sarah Bradford: I've always been fascinated by the Kennedy assassination and Jacky Kennedy. This was the first book I've seen on Jacky and I'm excited to give it a go.
Penguin's Poems for life, by Laura Barber: A collection of poems that follow the stages of life. I thought one of the best ways to try many different poets would be to try an anthology and find more poets that I might like.
Mary, Queen of France, by Jean Plaidy: Another Jean Plaidy book, what a surprise. It's fairly easy to come across Jean Plaidy's works in charity shops, she was a prolific author. I've been meaning to get to "Mary, Queen of France" for a long time, almost two years according to Goodreads. I've not seen many books on Mary Tudor, Henry VIII's sister, although I've seen more on his other sister, Margaret, Queen of Scots.
The Bronze Horseman, by Paulina Simons: I'd see references to this one on Goodreads and I thought for £1 I'd see what it was like. All I know of this one is it is historical fiction, set in the Second World War in the USSR.
The World, The Flesh and The Devil, by Reay Tannahill: Another one that's been on my TBR list for a while. It popped up on my recommendations and as I'm hoping to go to Scotland again this year, it'll be a good book to get me excited for that trip.
Lady of Hay, by Barbara Erskine: Erskine's books have popped up on my Goodread's recommendations a few times and I was intrigued by the blurb on this one. It seems to have "Labyrinth" by Kate Mosse and "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon vibes and for only 10p I had nothing to lose in picking it up.
The Painted Lady, by Maeve Haran: After finishing "The Queen's Favourites" by Jean Plaidy, I've been in the mood for some Restoration period works and this one sounded pretty good, following Frances Stuart who catches the attention of Charles II.
Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte: I don't actually own my own paper copy of "Wuthering Heights", so when I decided to pick one up when I next saw one in a charity. I'm also a sucker for a nice cover.
