Finally managed to track down a cheap, good quality copy of Tulip Fever by Deborah Moggach on Green Metropolis - gave this one away years ago and have regretted it ever since!

Got a great package from Amazon yesterday:

This Time by Joan Szechtman and Paths of Exile by Carla Nayland.

I am looking forward to reading them both. Unfortunately my husband was home when the package arrived and I had to promise him I wouldn't buy any more books until after Christmas. (Hope I can last that long) Thank goodness for the library!

How is this? I heard about it a few weeks ago, and I'm curious.

They have quite a lot of copies on there if you want one, Kasthu, not sure if they do international delivery though, as it's free within the UK.

Hit my local bookstore yesterday; got "The Owl Killers" by Karen Maitland and ordered a copy of EC's "The Greatest Knight."

It's like a fix, isn't it? I left the store all bouncy and happy.

It is, isn't it? I always feel better once I've bought a book or two!

Could we count that as an excuse to buy more books?
