A library bargain

I went to the library today to return a book, I had promised myself not to borrow more than one book (after my well thought out strategy of returning one book and lending one new). I return home with three borrowed books plus four I bought from the for sale shelf, to my defence I will say that you can't say no when you get four books for only a Pound. I am not very often at this library and every time I go, there's something new at the for sale shelf that looks interesting.

These were the books I bought this time:

Ragtime by E.L. Doctorow - an author that becomes a bigger favourite the more I read of him.

Marshmallows for breakfast by Dorothy Koomson - I read The Ice Cream Girls and has been looking forwards to read more from her.

The Forgotten Affairs of Youth by Alexander McCall-Smith - The latest in the series about Isabelle Dalhousie.

A Short history of Tractors in Ukrainian by Marina Lewycka - the fourth book and the best of what was left on the shelf.

Ice cream Girls

The Ice cream girls by Dorothy Koomson is one of the best books I have read in these last couple of months, she has such a beautiful voice that shines through the pages. The book is divided in to the perspective of the two main characters Poppy and Serena, and Koomson has managed well to keep them both alive on the page. The story builds up page after page until you reach a powerful crescendo.
The book explores a powerful theme of power and love that is always important and worthy to discuss.
