On my way to the BookCrossing meetup last night, I dropped by a used book store... surprise!
At Renaissance Books in New Westminster, BC, I found - mostly mysteries:
Surfeit of Lampreys by Ngaio Marsh
Nemesis by Jo Nesbø
The Art of Murder by José Carlos Somoza
The Summer Snow by Rebecca Pawel
and these - both history:
One Gal's Army by Sue Ward
She was in the Canadian Women's Army Corps in WW II.
The Last Great Sea: A Voyage through the Human and Natural History of the North Pacific Ocean by Terry Glavin
And at Seconds! the Burnaby/New Westminster BookCrossing Meetup, held at Waves on Columbia Street in New Westminster, I picked up:
Little Brother by Cory Doctorow
I know Little Brother is on-line free, but let's face it, I still do prefer to hold a book in my hands. (Although again last night we BookCrossers were looking at e-readers. I still like the Kobo the best, available at Chapters/Indigo/Coles.)
Looking forward to reading all my 'new to me' books soon. I've already started the Ngaio Marsh mystery. This is one it seems I never read.
eicuthbertson's Book Blog - Thoughts on reading, on books or articles or the occasional poem I'm reading, and some shameless promotion of BookCrossing activities! as well as of the authors, books, bookstores, and libraries that I love.
