Got to love a good book haul. A huge thank you to all at @oxfambooksknowle for making me feel very welcome and sorting me out with these cool books. I’ll definitely be coming back. I need to go to @oxfam_books_harborne too to see Julian and the crew there who have also been really good to me in the past year. The haul you say! OK. Here goes. The Martian written by Andy Weir is another recommended read from the awesome Sarah-Marie of @apageofwordsandwishes I believe the follow up book Artemis was too. Leviathan Wakes Written by James S. A. Corey was one of Sarah-Marie’s too. She’ll correct me if I’m wrong on that. Then there’s the three gems. Or should I say two gems and the Precious. The Arabian Nights - this is an original. The only date I can find in the book is 1889! It’s an illustrated version with 150 illustrations drawn by Thomas B. Dalziel and published by George Routledge and Sons. The page edges are still gold gilded. The booking coming away from the cover a bit at the spine but nothing some TLC cannot fix. This is definitely a treasure and I have wanted to read the stories for some time. Letters of T.E Lawrence edited by David Garnet Yep. The ‘Lawrence of Arabia’. This also came with some form of newspaper page that has a review of the book at it’s time of release. First published in 1938. This is the New Edition published in 1942. These collected letters from various sources should prove to be an extraordinary insight into this legendary man. I’m excited. And the Precious. First of all apologies to the lady who went out of her way to get this immaculate set of The Hobbit, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King from the back room for me after she learned that I was a fan of Tolkien. The books and case are mint. I am one happy Metal Hobbit. #book #greatreads #reading #author #books #booknerd #booklover #bookcommunity #bookaddict #booksbooksbooks #oxfambook #tolkien #telawrence #arabiannights #themartian #artemis #leviathanwakes #positivevibes #bookvibes #readingvibes #foodforthebrain #positivewaves #metalhobbit (at Birmingham, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVF_femItAR/?utm_medium=tumblr

Found this gorgeous book in the @oxfambookshops in Winchester. If anyone has seen The Chateau with Dick and Angel they will know how wonderful she is! This book is signed by her too, obv no clue who gave it to the shop but it will be my treasure now! Maybe I can make some sweet treats for Christmas gifts too! 💗🎁🎄#thevintagesweetsbook #angeladoree #dickstrawbridge #oxfambooks #winchester #thrifty #charityshops #lovetobake #handmade #signed #signedcopy #vintagesweets #2013 #vintagepatisserie #thechateau (at Oxfam Books & Music, Winchester)
