( A meme in which it becomes startlingly obvious that I have a new author crush )

In case you were wondering, I did it. I cleaned my room. More or less.

While I'm killing time before dinner/drinkies I'm going to list all the bounty I pillaged from the book sale. I do rather wish I'd picked up the Persian/English dictionary because then we could have had signs up around the LFoD in Persian and that's sexy.

I have discovered a foolproof way of restraining myself from buying overpriced coffee at work (price has gone up something like seventy cents and they only give you one marshmallow :() It's so simple, just leave your wallet at home! But make sure you discover this before you order! And then walk home reading your book while trying not to get hit by ( Read more... )

Picked up another week at National Library today. YES THANK YOU. I love it there, they have air conditioning, lolly jars, the radio on all the time, AND they pay me for Good Friday and Easter Monday. Even though I hadn't worked those days for two weeks previously or however it works. That is AWESOME. I get about $90 for doing absolutely nothing. ( Read more... )

I've got about half an hour before I have to go and catch the bus, and I've done everything already. Bah. This is an extra half an hour I could have spent in bed! I've done breakfast and coffee and shower and everything ( Read more... )

We're Circeless here at the Lfod. However me and Cath detoured past central library on the way home and lengthened all our arms carrying piles of books home. Sweet :D ( Read more... )

And it's good music, too. Rasputina, and Coraline, together*happy faces ( Read more... )

I've started knitting again, it's theraputic and pretty making, and you can do it in front of the TV, where, let's face it, I spend a lot of time. Jen's acquired Flight of the Concords and me and Circe are almost through watching it, we've converted Sequoia to the ways of the Boosh, we'll be moving onto Spaced next. Yes, British (and NZ) comedy is ( Read more... )

Oh.

My.

God.

Dragonhaven. Robin McKinley. I love it I love it I love it. I'm so glad she decided to use a boy as her protagonist, it works better than a girl, I think -and I have never said anything like that before. But I adore Jake. His voice, his character, his obsession, his weaknesses, and okay the fact he looks like Kett Turton in my head ( Read more... )

I wanted to post about books. Books are exciting things, especially when there are a lot of them that you don't have to pay very much for. This is one of the most exciting things of all.

Yes, library book sale, and I got a haul. Not as big as the first year I knew about it because then I bought, like 12305432 books, but, mmm, haul.

( Hauly hauly haul. Like Christmas! Only bookier, with less tinsel (never sniff tinsel) )
