On the dangers of Bookshops

[fanged_geranium]

This afternoon I, quite innocently, wandered into Waterstones, and was promptly ambushed by three books of the expensive variety. I think that's my whole food bugdet for the rest of the month gone! Luckily I have many cans of soup in the cupboard, and five or six portions of meatloaf still in the freezer

Oh no, not The Waterstones Effect! I empathise completely, it gets me regularly too.

I must stop going in there so often!

Fantastic! Thanks Tony, that'll keep me in reading matter for a while!

I don't know if I'd even be safe from textbooks! Perhaps you get used to being around all those books after a while, like people who work in chocolate factories are supposed to stop wanting to eat the chocolate.
