Book Hauls!

Legacy of Hereot sounds interesting. Please let us know what you think about it, when you finally get around to reading the novel.
 
Got this today. Not yet read this author though I want to read The Owl Service and Red Shift. I think I borrowed Red Shift from the library years ago but didn't read it

I read Red Shift quite recently. It is a difficult work to get to grips with. In particular the dialogue is largely unattributed, making it difficult to understand who is saying what. At the very least, the reader needs to concentrate deeply while reading. Very little is explained explicitly. Garner is too good an author to have done all this accidentally, but I have to admit that whatever he was aiming for, it failed with me. I'll be interested in what you think of it.

I'll let you know if I ever find a copy
 
I spent real money on a NEW book! This rarely happens but I had some birthday money burning a hole in my pocket and I have been meaning to get round to reading Fun Home by Alison Bechdel for ages. , and there it was on the shelves in my local bookshop, and it is, as I had hoped, a damn fine book. It kept me up till 3 am to finish it; I know this may sound weird - it felt weird when I realised what I was doing - but I gave the book a big hug when I had finished it.
 
Dune audiobook. It's read by a few narrators, so it could be less audiobook and more audio drama.

I'll not listen to it for a while yet as i want the first before i start.
