Sarah's Books - Used & Rare

More awards! It's positively relentless - the number of new books each year that I suspect I will never read, even though they sure do look good. Read read read, I'm reading as fast as I can! Sometimes, though, I do end up reading stray award-winners. Albeit a year or two (or more) after the time they actually win. Sad, but there it is. Right now I'm in the middle of volume one of Hickey's memoirs and am more concerned about his embezzlement of office funds (to pay for his rakehell habits), which has just resulted in his father packing him off to a regiment in India. Love the late eighteenth century. Not to say that I'm not thrilled for the latest award-winners - imagine writing a book and receiving national recognition for it. I'm sure all authors have. Imagined it, that is.
