Today I went for a wonder round my town trying not to buy any books, after wondering into the charity shops I came out with

The night circus Erin Morgenstern
Stop Pretending Sonya Jones
Dead Air Ian Banks
The Help Kathryn Stockett (Which I already own but It looked brand new and was £1, my friends birthday present all sorted now!)

So do I and I run one, the shop that I am a manager of is a books and music charity shop. I love going through all the donations and grabbing the ones I want to read first (Of course priced up by someone else and paid for!)

Today I got through the post (not from the shop, but from amazon)

Stardust - Neil Gaiman

I have so many books to read and not enough time to do it in!
 
Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh. A challenge.

When I Die by Philip Gould. Living remaining life.

Wild by Cheryl Strayed. Finding life after personal loss.

The Angel Esmeralda - Nine Stories by Don DeLillo. From early to late.
 
I got the following titles at the library:

Carrie Fisher-Shockaholic

Ramsey Campbell-The Overnight

Anna Elliott-Twilight of Avalon
 
A game of thrones - George R.R Martin
A catcher in the Rye - J.D Salinger
Storyteller : The life of Roald Dahl - Donald Surrock

Just spent my waterstones voucher, now to sit back and wait for them to arrive!

Love those Dracula books by Newman, I've read the trilogy and I heard that he was working on a fourth book, supposedly titled Johnny Alucard, but I haven't heard anything else in a long while

Picked up this week:

In One Person ~ John Irving
Quake ~ Richard Laymon
Funland ~Richard Laymon
In the Night Room ~ Peter Straub
The Darkest Part of the Woods ~ Ramsey Campbell
 
Before the Dawn - Shimazaki Toson, tr. William E. Naff. Set during the transition from the Tokugawa Shogunate to the Meiji Restoration, the book details the changes in Japanese life wrought by the arrival of Commodore Perry's ships in 1853. Said to be the authoritative work on the subject, it is a big one.

To quote(out of context) my former pastor, Brother Bob, "That's everybody here!" This place is such a den of literary vice as we share our latest 'scores' and encourage eachother to sink even further into the pit of bibliophilia.(Is there such a word?) You know what I mean:lol:
