This morning I slung my backpack onto my back and headed out the door even before I had coffee! What could entice me to do such a thing? The library, where books were in and waiting for me, of course.
There are three different routes I can take to get there and back. They're all nice walks. I chose the longer route on the way there--the Donegal flags are still flying because they won the semi-final match in a rout on Sunday and will be in the finals in a couple weeks.
I got home and had my coffee. It was excellent. And now for some reading. I think I'll start with Termush because Bill will be reading it too. It's quite short. I hope you're having a great day!

Coffee and a good book. Heaven! Miriam has made banana bread with pecans. Would you like a slice of that to go with it?
Yes, please!
Coffee and a good book ... wonderful.
All the best Jan
A beautiful morning walk to get books sounds great, even if it is pre-coffee. :) And you found a nice collection. I hope you like Death of a Bookseller. I think you will. I haven't read that other British LIbrary Classic so I'm going to add it to my list. Thanks for shout out too. I hope you have a great reading day too. It's hot here so that's what I plan on doing.
Life is good with coffee (or tea) and books, Jan!
We just got back from grocery shopping, so having our first cup of coffee now. I'll be starting a new book this afternoon.
When I read your post which included Death of a Bookseller, went straight to the library to look for it. Then I thought I might as well do a search for British Library Crime Classics and see what newer ones come up. I have no willpower so requested a bunch. I have three more coming, I think, one of which is another bibliomystery. Stay cool and happy reading, Erika!
That rose looks all the brighter in a gloomier day! You had a good haul. I hope you love "Death of a Bookseller" as much as I did. It was one of my favorite of the BCCL books, in part because I actually learned a lot at the same time as enjoying the mystery. The other one looks great too, f I can find it. I reviewed "Bookseller" in September 2023 and one thing I remember about it was that he was a collector of antiquarian books as well as retired police, so he knows of what he speaks!
It's fun when we learn something whilst reading a good story :-) I'm looking forward to all the bibliomysteries (and the others).
