TSC. January 1st 2017

It's a book Judith. I haven't tried tying any scarves using the instructions yet. But this blue scarf is one of three new ones.

The reading list may take me into February - suspense all the way. ;-)

Oooh I do like that bracelet!! Looks like some good reading ahead as well :))

Best wishes and Happy New Year, Rosa.

Nice isn't it Rosa. I wonder if you looked at the PiP to see my old reading list. It gives lots of clues to my age! ;-)

Henning Mankel is a great book, hope you enjoy reading it

I have read several Hennig Mankel books, so I hope i won't be disappointed with those two, Luc. ;-)

Hey - 2016 ?

OK Cornelia, the year is sorted out now. Thank you for being so observant. :-))

Oh Judith, books are one of our favorite pastimes ... as they say one can never have too many books (well, actually you can, which is why we frequent our library so often lol) Nice presentation for the variety of new things. Oh and the tones in the scarf are quite nice. :) Happy New Year.

Hi Chris, I'm Amelia. Nice to meet you! ;-)
Our house is full of books, which sometimes even sit on the stairs. We occasionally have a good clear out, taking books that we will never read again to be recycled. Old favourites always stay with us of course.

Hi Amelia, Welcome to the group! :) We also must recycle or we will be finding ourselves with no room! :) Our library is just 1/2 block away which is a treat. We each have a Kindle Fire but we both prefer to feel the "pages" as we read ... might have something to do with our age... lol but I feel more connected to the story with a real book in hand. HNY

Oh, Amelia, we have the same taste in books.

Almost, Dany. I'm not very keen on history, but I know you are. ;-)

eine wundervolle Zusammenstellung!

Thank you Chrissy. I had some lovely Christmas and birthday presents.

It looks like a catalogue piece. The bookstore should take you into their employ. Happy New Year.

Hi there Pappy. I would take far too long to display the books - too busy having a sneak preview. ;-)

I wish books weren't so heavy! All the ones I want to read (or more exactly re-read) are in my parent's house in Cornwall! I am in Madrid! I would love to do a similar shot or two!
Great idea and effect, Amelia!
Best wishes, Andy

Do you take a few back with you every time you visit Cornwall, Andy? I would. When we lived in Norway where books are very expensive, I always carried 2 or 3 back and forth in my suitcase to keep me replenished. ;-)

Thanks Amelia.
Ryanair have a very restrictive weight policy and it is impossible to pack enough necessities for yourself in your hand-luggage, let alone extras such as heavy books, unless you want to pay a fortune for a suitcase in the hold. I don't!
Occasionally I get a lift from my sister's family if they drive over. But they are a whole family and space is at a premium. But I can just about smuggle a few books then but that's about it.
When I first moved to Spain I did get my most essential books boxed up and sent by UPS but the other factor is bookshelf space. You don't see many bookshelves here, the walls are made of stuff that is impossible to drill holes in! Space precludes it too; I live in a very nice but small studio flat.
Sorry for the long explanation!!!!
All best wishes,
Andy

Novel shot dear LGM ~~~ Have you tried Jo Nesbo btw xxx

I have read most of Jo Nesbø's books, Nick. He's very popular in Norway unsurprisingly. I think I'm in love with Harry Hole. ;-)

Terrific capture and PIP!

Thank you William. if you looked closely at the Pip you might be able to figure out my age, ;-)

So many books to read! =O

They should last me all month Sami. ;-)

Beautiful scarf and I love the bracelet. Happy reading. Books are my downfall. I thank heaven for the kindle or I wouldn't be able to move in the house at all.

I have tried reading with a Kindle, jean, but the satisfaction of holding a book and physically turning pages makes it a bit redundant most of the time.

A nice selection, and great contrast with the old, HNY!

Thank you Stoker, believe it or not I still dip into 'New Commercial Arithmetic'. Wonderful maths shortcuts there. ;-)

da hast Du ja noch einiges vor, Amelia ;-); sehr schön präsentiert!

I love having new books, Christel - something to look forward to on long winter nights. But of course i don't visit Ipernity so often, ;-)

Oh, lucky you- so many nice things:-) I also got the Rankin (among others) and must admit I read it more or less in one go;-)

I'm half way through the Rankin, Gudrun - my second book since Christmas. Unfortunately other things get in the way of reading ... eating, washing up, walking, sleeping etc. ;-)

My new books got into the way of sleeping;-)

Great still life. Nice colors and like the way you put it together. Always looking for new things to read. Thanks for suggestions.

Thank you Coco. If you like fictional crime you'll like 3 of these books.

My tip, based on Rankin and Mankell, would be to try Arnulder Indridason. Icelandic noir. Reykjavic Nights.

I'll definitely keep that in mind, Steve. I haven't tried any of his books. many thanks for the tip.

very well composed

Thank you Gillian, I'm pleased that you like this compilation of things new to me. :-))

I love to read too.. and what a beautiful coloured scarf

Hi there, Wendi, photography interferes with my reading, but mostly when the weather is better. I am now on my third book since, Christmas - we've had a couple of beautiful days when it's imperative to go out walking.

Lovely photo and collection! :-)

Quite a collection Amelia and beautifully captured too! :)
