The daffodils are out in force, the apple trees in my garden are ablaze with blossoms, new buds are bursting from the trees in the woods opposite. We are truly in the grip of springtime in the UK.

So I thought this would be an easy TTT list to compile: of the 3189 books in my Calibre library - How did that number creep so high? Is this a healthy number of books to own? - I was sure there must be dozens, hundreds, with "flower" or similar in the title... but no! It was a real struggle to find them! It is apparently a component of book titles that repels me. Who knew?
