AKA Showcase Sunday
OK, it’s not Sunday. I’m blaming daylight saving for stealing my blogging hour. I did go into The Crooked Book on Sunday and bought two John Wyndhams. There was an old man sitting at the counter who was a fan and told me Trouble with Lichen is a right laugh. The woman serving had also read a few, it was right right old John Windy fan club going on.
The lovely Other Ellie also sent my blog a blogoversary present, thank you! Epic Detour sounds loads of fun. Also, NEW SMYTHE ALERT!

Great haul! Love the look of The Rain, almost requested it myself on NG but I have too many books off there already.
Above looks great as well, added to my TBR 🙂
Happy reading!
Oh! Great selection here – I have recently read my first Smythe and get more and more excited about reading his back catalogue with every blurb I read. This new one sounds fantastic.
Good to hear Trouble with Lichen is a good one, I've got it lined up to read next. Love a bit of Wyndham.
Such pretty covers this week! 🙂
I can;t stress how much I love Amy and Roger's Epic Detour! 🙂 I read it two years ago and I adored it. IT is such a sweet contemporary. I got Above and The Gepgraphy of You and Me on Netgalley. I look forward to seeing your thoughts on them! 🙂
Nice haul, enjoy your books and have a great week! 🙂

Oooh, more John Wyndhams, yay! I think Midwich Cuckoos might be my next one, I've had that the next longest so it WORKS. Glad you like the blogoversary present, it looks so much fun for a summer read. 😀
I'm interested to see what you make of The Geography of You and Me. A lot of readers were had middling opinions on her last book. Happy reading! 🙂
Ah I didn't read Happiness. I thought this one was better than SPoLaFS though. My review is here.
Great haul. Most I havent heard of but I have read The Dead Ground and loved it. Enjoy!!!
Above looks pretty cool, Ellie! Enjoy all your beautiful books 🙂
