At the beginning of last year I resolved, among other things, to read more and I’m happy to say it’s one of the few resolutions I’ve maintained long after the last embers of 2016 died out. Now that 2017 has rolled around my love of books has only intensified and I thought I’d share some of the titles I’m looking forward to reading with you.
My most recent job has seen the last part of my commute home take place from London’s Waterloo station, which just so happens to have a Foyles book shop. I often have around 20 minutes to spare between trains and the lure of this branch’s bookshelves is too much for me to resist.
Here are some spoils from my most recent inter-train haul.
I came across The Moth while browsing the stand alone displays of one bookshop or another and something about the cover commanded me to stop in my tracks. Perhaps it was the promise of an introduction by Neil Gaiman or maybe my own inner moth was drawn to the golden glow of the lightbulb suspended front and centre on the cover. Whatever it was that cast its spell on me, moreso than all the other books on display I had to know more.
