We got bookses!

Aug 23, 2008 19:20

I was upstairs this morning, wrestling with the words (I got 500 before noon - yay! I've got about 100 since. Boo.) when beloved shouted upstairs, "There's something here for you. A parcel!"

Nearly broke my neck in the scramble to get downstairs before he shut the door (y'know, I still forget sometimes that I can't just leap off the bed and run ( Read more... )

happy, this is why i hide my credit cards, books and book stuff

'Beloved' when I'm feeling charitable ;)

'Bandit' when I have to give him a name (that's his online name of choice). He got quite indignant when a couple of my friends referred to him as "Mr Footling". I told him I took his name without complaining :D

You're on my f-list here, too, now. No doors are closed.

Books! Joy! Bookjoy!

Bookjoy indeed!

So now I have to hurry up and read the library books so that I can get started on my own, my very own, books!

And I love love love that icon.....

Ohhhhhhhhhh, lovely!

What'd ya get?

*has ordered books, too* And I have two from the library to read, and a friends novel to read...er, I have a lot to read. What am I doing on the pc?

(btw, Julien said to tell you that it was a good idea to send us out to eat last night. :P )

If we had cash enough, and space and time.... footlingagain August 24 2008, 11:33:42 UTC

I'm a great source of such ideas (when it goes well - if it doesn't, it was nothing to do with me). Everyone needs treats sometimes :)

Books - well, I'm reading Bear's stuff backwards (sounds like a story title....) or out of order, anyway. Latest acquisitions are:

Ink & Steel, Hell & Earth, Worldwired, The Chains That You Refuse.

PLUS Joshua Palmatier's series (The Skewed Throne, The Cracked Throne - just received. Paperback of The Vacant Throne is on pre-order).

I wanted to get some of Chaz's books too, but I ran out of money. Just as well as I'll have to clear shelf-space again, too. And my reading list is increasing much too fast. I've got to stop coming online!

Too cool!

I ordered Joshua's books, too! In fact, I'm having them sent to his house, where he will autograph them for me before sending them on to Mayotte! And I sprung for the hardcover of The Vacant Throne. I want immediate satisfaction when I read a trilogy. :D That's why I haven't even started GRRM's books. I want closure available first.

I also bought the books that Joshua last featured on his LJ by Gregory Frost. I'm very excited to receive them, but I have research books to read in the meantime and Hugo's Notre-Dame to finish first.
