I absolutely love Housekeeper and the Professor. Such an uplifting read. I'm rereading at the end of the month. I also love Ogawa's Memory Police which is a dystopia.
I've never read The Alienist but I remember seeing it everywhere in stores. Thank you for explaining that term. I had no clue. You hear "alien" these days and think scifi. But of course I knew that couldn't be right. I understand needing something lighter to clear the brain after Atlas Shrugged. Yegads, that book. I recently finished a reread of Jane Eyre. Before that, I finished my first reading of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Both are fantastic. But not exactly "light reading." I'm reading a children's called Wingfeather. I'm not very far, so I don't even have an opinion on it yet. It's just something fluffy to read before bed. That China book looks gorgeous! You are so right, that is a steal. Books like that are ridiculously expensive. I hope you end up liking some of the books. Even if not, at least you didn't waste a lot of money. I love finding books at dollar stores/thrift stores. You can't really go wrong.
Yeah, I remember hearing the Alienist title and thinking it must be a sci-fi too, lol. And both Jane Eyre and Uncle Tom's Cabin are great! Though I haven't read Uncle Tom's Cabin for at least a decade so it is probably due for a reread. And I was so happy to find that art book! I'm always surprised how expensive books with pictures are!
Interesting haul! I want to read more Heyer, too! They have been hit or miss for me. Holt isn’t for me. I tried a lot of hers a few years ago. I want to read The Good Earth by Buck later this year! 😄 The Chinese art book looks lovely. Can’t wait to hear what you think of The Housekeeper and the Professor!
The Good Earth is so good! I hope you like it! And Holt definitely isn't for everyone, and sometimes the tropes bother me. Like, the girls are so useless sometimes, lol. But I still enjoy her. And I can't wait to start The Housekeeper and the Professor!

Great one. I hope you enjoy your time with these books.
Thank you! I can't wait to read them!
Aren’t cozy mysteries so much fun. I love their whole vibe. So nice to change it up from all the grisly murder and mayhem I usually read. 😂
I absolutely love Housekeeper and the Professor. Such an uplifting read. I'm rereading at the end of the month. I also love Ogawa's Memory Police which is a dystopia.
Oh, I'm glad you like it! I haven't read any of Ogawa's books so I'm excited to read more!
ohh, I've never heard of Victoria Holt! these look cool! Great Haul!
Victoria Holt writes really interesting books. They are all similar to each other, but I love the gothic parts more than the romance parts, lol.
a interesting and varied haul 💋 👌
I love Victoria Holt. I have read, I think, there are so many, the majority of her novels. The best gothic romance writer imho.
I want to read more of hers! They are so light and fun, though I've only read a couple so far.
