I'm in the midst of planning a September trip to London, and I'm looking for good secondhand bookshops to go to--these might be worth checking out!<br /><br />Thanks for hosting PRW--I've had a great time, reading, writing about my reading, and connecting with other readers over a shared love.Katherinehttp://agirlwalksintoabookstore.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-27478576293195058582010-05-09T23:24:00.514+01:002010-05-09T23:24:00.514+01:00Oh dear, I hope you feel better soon Verity!

All 3 contained short stories, which is not usually my favourite kind of reading. You've just got interested in the characters and then the story is over. <br /><br />Good Evening, Mrs Craven (in the classic cover)<br /><br />Tell it to a Stranger<br /><br />The Closed Door and Other Stories<br /><br />I have been left wanting to read more works by both Mollie Panter Downes and Elizabeth Berridge. I have another 2 Dorothy Whipple books in my to be read pile.Geraldinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-10410743492442537132010-05-09T17:27:36.675+01:002010-05-09T17:27:36.675+01:00What a great haul!
