What did the second hand bookshop expect if they offer me 20% off already next-to-nothing prices? Some of these front covers bring back so many school memories! I'm still up Kanchenjunga hoping the great aunt clears off soon, but will soon be ready to get in to this lot. Really enjoying re-reading them over 30 years later! #ArthurRansome #SwallowsAndAmazons #iamreading #kidlit

Really getting in to #ArthurRansome again and couldn't wait for the library to get number 2 in so ordered this bargain from Awesome Books - pretty sure that's the same cover I remember reading from the 1980s. #kidlit #iamreading #SwallowsAndAmazons

Lazy afternoon of #Christmas #TV #SwallowsAndAmazons , #MrsMiracle(my #favourite), #BackToTheFuture2

Literally #MyTopShelf - this ledge runs around the room over head-height the perfect depth for #books. I love the juxtaposition alphabetisation brings.

My childhood copy of #SwallowsAndAmazons fell apart in #eqnz - this is a replacement. #Shakespeare was a school prize. #Pratchett of course, and much other #fantasy (more #scifi elsewhere). The Necessary Beggar is #HopePunk. Mr Fox because I went through a #Bluebeard phase. Parker because #UnreliableNarrators are my jam.
