I am going to see Cat tomorrow for the weekend yay! And I still haven't finished packing, or posted about anything in forever! So here are April's books! So I might finally quit with the exclamation marks!

Lots of catchup to post today, and since I have an hour with the warm wind breezing through and the sun shining and a big glass of lemonade, here is some. Fear my way with words, people!

( Doctor Who thoughts, spoilery for the last two eps and also the preview of the next episode, which made Katie do this: EEEE! )

REGINA SPEKTOR ON JONATHAN ROSS?! WHAT?!
