I went to the charity shop and I bought...

... a lovely snuggly grey t-shirt, a lovely snuggly cream scarf, a lovely shiny brass bracelet (for roleplaying), a lovely folky CD (Clannad), and *nine books*! Nine! Nine books! Wheeee! And only one of them I have read before (I bought Little Women, because I felt like reading it and my copy is somewhere in a pile of boxes at my dad's, I think). *bounce*

I also have food and fabric conditioner. I have lots to do this afternoon, so if you see me online please prod me and check whether I have done it all. I need to go out and do some important shopping...

Hurrah for books!

I like books... Mrs. D, however, isn't keen on my continuing to buy books given that we no longer have space on the bookshelves.

Hah! Weak! I haven't got any bookshelves at all!

(Well, I should have a couple in about three weeks. Fingers crossed. But almost certainly not enough.)

Well... when I say 'no longer have any space on the bookshelves' I mean 'haven't had any space on the bookshelves for at least two years and on top of that have no room for more bookshelves.'

One day we'll have our own house and there'll be at least one wall with floor-to-ceiling shelves.

I love charity shops. Glad you lucked out! What other books did you get?

A lot of them are quite silly brain-fluff reading, for when I need a break from the degree work. I have Wendy Holden's Pastures Nouveaux, What Southern Women Know (That Every Woman Should) by Ronda Rich, How Was It For You? by Maureen Lipman, whom I love to pieces, The Robber Bride by Margaret Atwood, Other People's Children by Joanna Trollope, Behind the Scenes at the Museum by Kate Atkinson whom I have recently got into, Mystical Paths by Susan Howatch, and Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married by Marian Keyes.

I have never read any of Maureen Lipman's books but I like the columns she writes. I'll have to check her out :-).
