Ooh, look at the pretties!
So, pretty much all the books on my "Need to Read" Shelf in my room are hardbacks that I got from the B&N bargain racks when they were pushing them out to make way for the paperbacks to come in and such. This is totally awesome, because I love hardbounds, except...I need stuff to take on vacation, and hardbounds weigh a lot more and take up much more room. So, obviously this meant that while we were out and about today, I wanted to stop by B&N. I took a list of titles I have marked on Amazon, and figured maybe I'd find a couple of them in paperback, and I could take those and a couple of rereads along. Y'know, just some light summer reading.
I came home with the following:
Illustrated Lives of the Saints (576 pgs.)
A Guide to Heraldry by Ottfried Neubecker (264 pgs.)
Sex in Elizabethan England by Alan Haynes (235 pgs.)
A History of Wales by J.E. Lloyd (448 pgs.)
Scotland: The Story of a Nation by Magnus Magnusson (734 pgs.)
Inside the Victorian Home by Judith Flanders (499 pgs.)
Yeah, my concept of "light" reading is a little bit different from the average.
And I swear, I found 298,487,478,687 books on various facets in Irish history, and 2 on Scotland, including the one I got. which is fine, except that I'm writing a play and a novel set in Scotland, and the closest I get to Ireland is an Irish housekeeper on a story I haven't touched in years. Oh well. The History of Wales makes me glee, and the book with Sex in the title will get to sit next to Sex With Kings and The Courtisans.
