Bumper book day today:

3 Bookmooch books:

The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler - Heard a lot about it, determined to read it.

The Fall of the Shell by Paul Williams - Book 4 of the Pelbar cycle, just 5 more books to go before I have the series!

Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay - Have made several unsuccessful attempts at mooching this before, offered extra points to secure it this time. Added to my enormous MUST READ NOW pile, hopefully it will be read before Christmas!


Went out to the shops, wandered past the lovely butcher, grocer and fantastic local produce shop picking up bits to refill our replacement fridge, when I noticed a basket of 20p books outside the ARC charity shop (think its arthritis care). Oh dear. Limited myself to five, three children's books for The Child and two for older children (which I will read and check for suitability for inclusion into The Child's library).

These two were:

The Tin Princess by Phillip Pullman
The Fairy Treasure by Gwyneth Rees - With the sort of cover that makes me wince but I suspect the sort of thing The Child will go for in a couple of years.
