This has been a great month for books. I bought myself 10 novels for my birthday and Tony took me to a second-hand bookshop sale where I bought another 16 non-fiction books. I only have two of the novels left to read but still have quite a lot of the non-fiction to get through. At the minute my bedside reading list looks like this:

• Emperor: The Gods of War (Conn Iggulden)
• The Gold Falcon (Katharine Kerr)
• What Colour is your Knicker-Elastic? (Sean Orford)
• Sword in the Storm (David Gemmell)
• The Hidden Language of Your Handwriting (James Greene & David Lewis)
• Gods of Management (Charles Handy)
• Spellbound: The Improbable Story of English Spelling (James Essinger)
• The Human Mind: and how to make the most of it (Robert Winston)

I have been waiting 6 years for Katharine Kerr to release book 12 in her Deverry series and now just need to decide whether a should re-read the first 11 books before reading the new one.
