I have had pretty good luck with HPB, it just depends on the neighborhood. I nearly always find at least one book I want -- I don't know if that's good or bad as my TBR pile never seems to shrink!Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-39638931423755991522018-02-23T06:10:41.593-05:002018-02-23T06:10:41.593-05:00I definitely want to read both Chatterton Square a...I definitely want to read both Chatterton Square and William!

I think they reviewed Miss Mole and Chatterton Square back in September. They're on iTunes.

Chatterton Square made it onto my list of best books of 2017. <br /><br />I wish there was a Half-Price Books anywhere near me. I went to one when visiting my in-laws in the midwest but didn't have nearly enough time to look around.

I loved this novel and Chatterton Square - though I think my absolute favourite EH Young so far is 'William'.

I think I skipped the end of that podcast, however, for fear of spoilers? Maybe I zoned out. <br /><br />Anyway, you make it sound delightful. <br /><br />Where I live, even the Virago paperbacks are rare...but you never know. Or I could just break down and order it! But there is something about book serendipity and letting the copy find the reader which is lovely when it happens.Ruthiellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871834571645928819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-64811087861558753582018-02-15T07:37:26.820-05:002018-02-15T07:37:26.820-05:00I am always so thrilled to see a green spine on th...I am always so thrilled to see a green spine on the shelves! I haven't been to the HPB in Austin, but I will keep it in mind the next time I'm there.<br /><br />I have never read E.H.
