To Read or Not to Read, That is the Question

In one of my prior posts I mentioned the fact that I planned, and tried reallllllly hard, not to buy any books in Europe. I did not succeed.  In fact, I failed the task so badly that I had to pay for an overweight bag at the airport. 

This has led some readers to ask what books I purchased and what is currently on my bookshelf and eReader TBR pile.  Well, here goes...

The books that made me too heavy to fly:
~ The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
~ Pear Shaped by Stella Newman
~ The Woman He Loved Before by Dorothy Koomson
~ Welcome to Rosie Hopkins' Sweet Shop of Dreams by Jenny Colgan
~ At Home: A Short History of Private Life by Bill Bryson
~ Bluestockings by Jane Robinson
~ Shapely Ankle Preferr'd by Francesca Beauman
~ Sex in Elizabethan England by Alan Haynes
* I have refrained from listing an additional slew of tourist books that will not be featured here.
