It would nice to get to Tennessee again. <br /><br />I do plan to read THE LAST UNICORN, I sampled a few pages and it appeals to me. That is very interesting about the Sexton Blake website. I will take a look.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-88306287090900988792016-09-27T12:29:45.457-07:002016-09-27T12:29:45.457-07:00Some very cool books, Tracy!

I hope to get to them this year. Hodder is the creator of the fabulous Sexton Blake website which you ought to check out some day and learn all about that iconic pulp character.<br /><br />You've inspired me to write about all the unusual books I found in Omaha and Nashville, our two summer getaway weekends that took place in August and earlier this month.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-13545738632936459332016-09-25T21:13:03.608-07:002016-09-25T21:13:03.608-07:00Thanks for the suggestion, Keishon.

I did enjoy one writer, Sarah Monette but she's very dark but her writing was very addictive. The first book in case you *might* have an interest is Melusine. --Keishon Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-26896060520523549062016-09-25T15:12:17.508-07:002016-09-25T15:12:17.508-07:00Oh I do too, Margot.

Even though these aren't featuring a crime plot, I often find that fantasies and science fiction stories have a mystery element.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-25960548263978007172016-09-25T15:09:48.367-07:002016-09-25T15:09:48.367-07:00Books by Weight sounds like heaven, Prashant, but ...Books by Weight sounds like heaven, Prashant, but I would have much less restraint.

I also came across cartons of books with unusual titles and covers, like the ones you've displayed above, but didn't know what to make of them. I held myself back from picking up more. Prashant C.
