Lots of books today, poor postman! Three bookmooch parcels stuffed with books. The first one had 2 ladybird books in it for The Child on Vikings and Gladiators. The other two were from a regular moocher in America who always stuffs flat rate envelopes with as many books as she can fit in, including some for The Child that are freebies. Today was no exception and there were 5 freebies there for The Child. In addition there were 6 mooched books (as well as 2/3 I mooched for The Child) for me!:

The Next-Doors/The Silver Grill by Joan Tate - Light and fluffy 1960's teen romances.

Bobby's Girl by J.D Austin - About a female soldier from another planet experiencing earth.

The Sword of Winter by Marta Randall - A standalone fantasy novel with a female heroine

The Innocent Mage by Karen Miller - Part one of fantasy duology

The Awakened Mage by Karen Miller - Part Two of a fantasy duology (hurrah!)

The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley- Connected to the Blue Sword which I received a few weeks back.


In addition I was lured in by the 20p basket outside ARC again and came home with 8 new books yesterday:

365 Things to Make and Do - big hardback book full of things to do.

The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot - Yes, I know, there are now 9 in the series and its light and fluffy teen reading but the book looked like new.

Horrible Histories- Woeful Second World War - Love these.

Horrible Science - Ugly Bugs

Carrie's War by Nina Bawden - Loved this as a child, interested to see if it stands up to a reread.

Horrible Histories - The Measly Middle Ages - Looks brand new

Fergus Crane by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell - An award winning book apparently, looks brand new and I loved the cover, looks like something The Child might like in a few years.

The Worst Witch by Jill Murphy - Another book that looked new

Cant believe I got all of those for £1.60. Just need to work out where to put them all now!
