Book shopping today ...
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!

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!
