Me versus the book

I made a special trip to the bookstore last night but had no luck with any of these books (how can that be?) .... but today I finally made some progress at the public library. I'm on the waiting list for On Chesil Beach, The Gathering, and Mister Pip. I managed to get a copy of the Reluctant Fundamentalist, so I'm going to start with that one for now. Will try to do Chesil Beach or Mister Pip next if I can get a copy soon. Hope y'all's reading is going well.
