Happened to pay a visit to the local library the other day, although heaven knows why as I have loads of books at home. It’s that Hunting and Gathering instinct or something. 🙂
Picked up a mix of both NF and F, but mostly NF. From bottom to top, here is what I brought home with me:
- DK EyeWitness Books: Buildings. (Just love these books.)
- Does This Make Me Look Fat? The Definitive Rules for Dressing Thin for Every Height, Size and Shape – Leah Feldon (NF – fashion/style?)
- The Jaguar’s Children – John Vaillant (F) I really enjoyed his book about an Amur Tiger (post to come) and then saw that Vaillant had also published a novel about life in the borderland… We’ll see if his NF talent translates to the F world. (Slightly interesting: Vaillant has two kitty-related books?!)
- Crossing to Safety – Wallace Stegner (F)
- Africa in my Blood: An Autobiographic in Letters: The Early Years – Jane Goodall (NF) about her time in Africa studying the chimpanzees..
- Sweetness and Light: The Mysterious History of the Honeybee – Hattie Ellis… about bees…
- How to Get Dressed: A Costume Designer’s Secrets for Making your Clothes Look and Feel Amazing – Alison Freer (NF) – fashion/style.
I loved John Vaillant’s tiger book too. Curious to hear what his novel is like!
I hadn’t realized I had picked up a novel of Vaillant’s so we’ll see… Fingers crossed.
