On Vox: Happy World Book Day!
Happy World Book Day, everybody!
After a long hard day of work (oh, alright, and a very pleasant meal with friends afterwards), I dragged my weary bones back home to be presented with my very favourite kind of present: a book!
Thanks to that funny chap what I live with, I now have a copy of Diana Wynne Jone's brand new book, Enchanted Glass, and it's even a signed copy.
I hope you all had World Book Day delights!
Incidentally, I'm not sure why I gain so much pleasure from having signed books. Generally, it means more to me when I physically got them signed myself, after hearing the author speak (a la my Helen Dunmore and Simon Singh books) as it's associated with good memories too, but it's still quite nice owning something that feels as though it has a particular connection to the author.
Not that I'm foolish; I'm aware that Diana Wynne Jones only was in contact with this particular book for long enough to squiggle on it before moving on to the next, but still. It makes me happy.
