Books, books, books
The local Barne's and Noble held a fund-raiser for our local school, (a percentage of all sales today goes to the school) and I came home with an armful of mostly children's books. I can't tell you how much I love illustrated hard cover books.
~ I've never read Good Omens, so I picked up a copy of that. I got the copy with the devil of the cover:D
~ Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules, a collection of classic and contemporary short stories by edited by David Sedaris.
~ Two Robert Sabuda books, who for those of you who don't know creates these wonderfully elaborate pop-up books. I picked up his new one on dinosaurs and his version of Wizard of Oz. I so wanted to buy his Alice in Wonderland, but I am technically unemployed, so no go on that.
~ Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie
~ Harold and the Purple Crayon. I loved that book as a child, I have no idea why I didn't buy it before
~ Weslandia by Paul Fleischman, an illustrated children's story someone highly recced to me which I now have a sneaking suspicion has to to with the protagonist looking strikingly like Harry Potter right down to his dark hair and round glasses.
~ Corduroy, another children's classic I didn't own, and The Lorax, by Dr. Suess.

Rec: Okay, people. If you haven't been reading hackthis's Twentysomething why the heck not? It's Harry/Blaise at the moment. Not sure if it's going to stay that way, but it's seriously sexy and snarky and um hot. Yeah:D I'm kind of anamoured with her annoyingly hot and sexy Harry and want him to come over and smirk at me. And I'm still ridiculously amused by the idea that Blaise Zabini's grandfather is David Bowie.
