I've decided to join Books, Biscuits and
Tea's Showcase Sunday to
share my lovely book hauls each week. Have a look back at Vicki's link up to see
what everyone is up too!
I came home in a bit of a mood one day this week (train delays + hot weather = horrible commute), to find three big parcels waiting me and that I had won Orion Publishing 20 years celebration. I won 20 books - one for each year! This makes me a very happy girl again. The books a wide variety of genres and types - a couple of which I've already read but plenty I haven't. Needless to say unexpected books = happy reader!
