Today Mrs H solved a mystery! Not long after I had dropped off the last lot of books, she had been in touch to say that a couple of library books had been left on her doorstep, and had I left them there? She said they were ones that she had read very recently, and told me the titles. I was confused, and checked in her library account to see whether they were still taken out, which they weren't. Curiouser and curiouser. Neither of us could work out what had happened, as every time I had visited I had dropped off 2 books and picked up 2 books, so how had these mystery books appeared?? I said I would visit today as usual and pick them up to take them back to the library, even as the mystery remained unsolved.
At the door Mrs H told me that on Thursday she had been to the senior citizens' lunch in Botley and a lady there asked her "Did you get the books I dropped off?" It turns out she thought Mrs H might enjoy them and had dropped them round on a whim. It was pure coincidence that they were the same books I had also delivered a couple of months ago!
I'm glad the mystery is solved, and also nice confirmation that I am choosing the type of books Mrs H enjoys :)
