I got notification from my local library that six books which I had reserved were waiting for me to pick them up. Of course I didn’t expect them all to arrive at the same time, and honestly at least half of them meant nothing to me, they must have been late night blog recommendations!
I remembered that two of them were for the 1937 Club which is in April.
The Gift by Vladimir Nabokov (1937)
The Years by Virginia Woolf (1937)
The Salt Path by Raynor Winn (I’ve been swithering about reading this one for a while)
The Book of Beginnings by Sally Page (a Sunday Times bestseller – not my normal fare)
Uncle Paul by Celia Fremlin (vintage crime)
Three Women and a Boat by Anne Youngson ( a BBC Radio 2 book club pick)
I’ve already finished reading The Book of Beginnings, which features a stationery shop. I’m sure that was what attracted me to it, and I really enjoyed it. Have you read any of these books?
A nice haul! I have read and loved the Nabokov and the Woolf, and in fact may well revisit the Woolf myself for 1937!
kaggsysbookishramblings,
I haven’t read anything by Nabokov before, so that’ll be interesting. I’m looking forward to the Woolf though.
I read Uncle Paul recently and thought it was great! Still haven’t got around to reviewing it though.
FictionFan,
I’ve just finished it – what a twist at the end!
