The Course of Love: A Novel | Alain de Botton

There's no such thing as #unconditionallove in Alain de Botton's brilliant meditation on love an marriage. #NoFemmeBer @Cinfhen @Billypar

jenniferw88 Hi Moray, can you please check your porch/drive/wherever your post is left - i sent your #ConanDoyleSwap on Thursday first class so it should have arrived by now! 5y

Billypar Love the quote! It's kind of a dilemma as a reader- on the one hand, I know it would be great to have more stories that focus on marriages and long-term relationships in a realistic way. But if I'm choosing a book to read now, I'm likely to pick something else 🤷 Guess I need to try and resist that impulse more because this one sounds really good. 5y

Cinfhen So much truth!!! 5y

Sarah83 You want to move or you have to? 6y

Moray_Reads @Sarah83 it started off as "have to" because of a shocking rent increase to now I'm really looking forward to my new place! 6y

Sarah83 Will you still have enough room for all your beauties? 6y

EricQiao I‘m sure I don‘t have to tell you but, DON‘T PANIC. 6y

Moray_Reads @EricQiao excellent advice and topical too! 🚀 6y

Moray_Reads @Sarah83 new bookshelves have absolute priority in our new place. I've already earned my flatmate 😅 But I am being fairly ruthless when it comes to non-Folio books 6y

Sarah83 Sounds great 🤗😍 6y

JoScho Bless you ❤️ 6y

jmofo That is a treasure trove! 😍 6y

The Love Letter | Lucinda Riley

#24in48 pile! Continuing Circe, Voyager and The Love Letter (kindle) Miss Pettigrew I got at the #yorklitsymeetup, The Lost World I got from @TCLinrow for the #conandoyleswap, Secondhand Spirits was a recommendation from @Tiffy_Reads and The Breakthrough was a gift from @Sorceryandswords so it is a very Litsy influenced pile! 😄 I love that so many books I own now have a story ❤

teainthelibrary The Lost World is such a fun read! 6y

DuckOfDoom Secondhand spirits was lovely 😀 I have to search my TBR pile for something relaxing for the 24in48, too. 6y

@Moray_Reads I know, where your parcel is 😫😫😫

jenniferw88 Yeah, I have your #ConanDoyleSwap package too! 6y

Moray_Reads @jenniferw88 @Sarah83 royal mail had a conspiracy against me!!! 6y

scripturient @Moray_Reads Sarah asked me to take the package along when I‘m going to the book festival. As we‘re at the same Ali Smith event, I‘ll pass it on to you then. If that‘s alright with you. Royal Mail can kiss our butts - we‘ll have personal delivery. Ha! :) 6y

The Golden Age of Murder | Martin Edwards

It has to be a Golden Age #mysterynovel for my taste. Three of the best with their ever-eccentric detectives (Dorothy L Sayers, Agatha Christie, and Margery Allingham with Lord Peter Wimsey, Hercule Poirot and Albert Campion) #readingwomenmonth @thereadingwomen

erzascarletbookgasm 🙌😍 Yes, Yes & Yes! 6y

LeahBergen Yes! ❤️❤️ 6y

Andrew65 Some great classics! 6y

jenniferw88 Hi, just had message from Mum that a parcel I sent to Edinburgh has been returned as it wasn't collected. I strongly suspect that it's your #ConanDoyleSwap package so will send it again in a few weeks' time! 6y

Moray_Reads @jenniferw88 ah, I wonder whether the delivery note went astray then. That would explain it! 6y

Adventures and the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Thank you @Dianeham for this wonderful box of goodies! "Force majeure" is over ? I've been coveting the Margaret Millar collected editions and the Holmes collection is just lovely ? Plus the coffee, bookmarks, Cape May cards, and the New York public library tote. I am also thrilled to learn you have a poetry book—I can't wait to read it. Thank you so much for all of this! ❤️

Thanks for organising the #conandoyleswap, @Beckykearns !

GatheringBooks that sherlock holmes book looks deliciously hefty! 6y

Dianeham @batsy i am so relieved that you finally got it! I was excited when I saw you wanted to read Millar. I love her. The plots are a little dated but she is a fav of mine. 6y

Cathythoughts Wow this is all so lovely... happy days ❤️ (edited) 6y
