A book titled "The Tourist" by Phil Tufnell features a smiling man in a tropical shirt and shorts, holding a cocktail and a cricket bat. He is sitting on a suitcase with beach accessories nearby, including flip-flops and a sun hat.
A very entertaining read. Well done John Woodhouse, who did the actual writing (per the acknowledgments). #BooksOfMastodon #CharityShopBooks
One can always make room for more books 📚

A 'book haul' implies a bundle of books. Today, Chorlton's emporiums yielded just the one.

Not posted a book haul all year despite having a few additions to the library. So here's yesterday's picks from the Chorlton football trip. #bookhaul #charityshopbooks #footballbooks #nowreading #Rumpole #books #MarlowMurderClub
One good solid British pound bought Wigan's debut Premier League season and Ireland scrum half legend Peter Stringer. Last book haul before Xmas #Bookhaul #books #booksky #charityshopbooks #Wigan #Ireland #Football #Rugby
8 charity shops + one second hand bookshop and came away with not one book. Altrincham let me down badly today. #books #bookhaul #charityshopbooks #Altrincham
Book haul from yesterday's trip to Chorlton. Football was rained off so trip saved by this lot. Some cozy mysteries. A United legend. A volume from Peter Ackroyd's History of England series to complete the set. #books #booksky #reading #bookhaul #library #charityshopbooks #MUFC #history #Chorlton
Visit to Sale where the GET charity has found new premises within the Emporium. Smaller than last place but happily grabbed Lovejoy, Granchester and Alexandra Benedict. Books are free but limited to 3 per visit. #Lovejoy #JameRuncie #AlexandraBenedict #bookhaul #books #charityshopbooks
Supposed to be cutting down 🤷

3 gaps filled on the Hamish MacBeth shelf. Aesthetically (today's big word!) they don't fit with the rest but at £1 for the three, no brainer.
