Oops! I had a #bookcident when I went for a browse and came out with this 700-page monster! (Though, I mean, when did "a browse" ever not result in a purchase!)
It focuses on my favourite Bowie period, and is a compilation of scores of interviews with the musicians, producers, engineers, etc., who Bowie worked with, as well as the author's interviews with David over many years as a rock journalist. ???‍?

TrishB Looks great 👍🏻 2mo
Bookwomble @TrishB I've just read that it's the first in an intended three-volume work covering David's full career! 😳 A bit of an investment, but hopefully they'll be spaced out a little. 2mo
Bookwomble @TrishB Correction, it's two volumes, the original French second part was published 2022, and an English translation not yet available. Sorry to tag you with such trivia, but I struggle sometimes to not put things "right" ? 2mo
TrishB 😁 no worries! I shall be buying for hubby. 2mo
Bookwomble @TrishB 😊👍🏼 2mo

I came into town to pick up a book for somebody else's Xmas present - mission accomplished 🎁
Then, had a major bookcident! 😲and bought something for myself So, I've come for a sit down and a brew in the WestminsterTea Rooms to recover and plan strategy.
Do I add it to the Christmas book pile I've already bought myself and hope Mrs B's festive cheer gets me off the hook, or do I smuggle it in and hide it in the stacks? I'm thinking Plan B!

batsy "Oops"! ? Plan B is sound. Also everything looks so festive and cheery ? 1y
Linsy Looks lovely! 1y

vivastory I'm with @batsy Plan B! Also bookcident is perfect 🤣📚📚 1y
tpixie @vivastory and @batsy are right! Plan B! What a fun place to go to sort your decision! And #bookcident should become the most popular hashtag #️⃣ on Litsy!!! 1y
Bookwomble @batsy @Linsy @jlhammar @vivastory @tpixie I went with Plan B! 😁 The Westminster Tea Rooms is always a nice place to visit, and as well as their traditional 1920s Mapp-and-Lucia vibe, they do an excellent choice of veggie and vegan options - I didn't take a photo of my vegan sausage and mash with onion gravy, but it was 😚👌 1y
tpixie @Bookwomble sounds like you treated yourself well today! ♥️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💙 1y
Bookwomble @tpixie I did! I've been feeling a little low recently, so it was a bit of needed self-care 😊 1y
tpixie @Bookwomble perfect 🤩 I hope you stay cheered up 🌺 (edited) 1y
Bookwomble @tpixie Rather up and down, but more up at the moment, thanks 😊 1y

Yeah_I_Read @Cinfhen 😂😂😂😂 me too 🤦🏾‍♀️ but oh well it‘s done now so I‘ll have to figure out a way to pay my penance. We saw a report on the news about how amazon is a trillion dollar company and my husband said most of that is my money 😂😂😂 🤷🏽‍♀️ 6y
