MY PICKS

This week's favourites

A Painted House

John Grisham

Nothing like his legal thrillers. Seven-year-old Luke Chandler lives on an Arkansas cotton farm in 1952. That summer, two sets of migrant workers arrive for the harvest and Luke witnesses something he was never supposed to see. Grisham's most personal novel, rooted in his own childhood memories, and genuinely moving. A very good copy.

£2.00

Becoming

Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama on growing up on Chicago's South Side, finding her way into law, and navigating eight years in the White House. One of the best-selling memoirs of the last decade, and a very good hardcover copy.

Gift of Anger

Arun Gandhi

Arun Gandhi spent two years living with his grandfather as a child. This is a collection of lessons passed down from those years: about anger, patience, forgiveness and purpose. Practical and warm rather than preachy. An unusual and quietly compelling hardcover in very good condition throughout.

What a find!

I happened upon 'Strange Books' whilst searching for one item. I am so pleased I did. I found the item I was after and ordered 4 other books too. All arrived swiftly, well packaged and we're all as good as new, for a fraction of their original cost. As a lover of 'real books', I am overjoyed Strange Books exists. I may need to part with a few books before my next order but thank you, I'm so glad you followed your passion and enable us readers to do the same :-)

A treasure of a shop

What an incredible find! As a teacher, I always find it hard to update our class reading area and keep within a reasonable price. Often, cheap books are battered and in poor condition, but not here. Thank you so much for helping restock our classroom with exciting new books that the children had asked for! I will definitely be back again for more!
