Book Porn

So my folks sent me some money for Christmas, money I was going to put towards my new wardrobes. But I had a letter from the power company which showed I was in credit following the winter. I called them and the money they are going to refund is enough to cover them. What with the considerable overtime in the coming month and my Christmas money, things are looking good....

We are aiming to get ourselves straight this year but i figured I could spare a little for luxuries for myself given that I can now reach my target of the wardrobes and all...... So I did a little shopping today. I bought some things from Lush, mostly the necessities which will last a long time and are expensive but cost effective in the long run (plus better for my skin and all) as well as some nice treats.....

I also bought books. but there was a slight coincidence. I was flicking through my old blog and I ended up reading a post and looking at the comments. In there was some book recommendations, Jamie Sans Medicine Cards and Dancing the Dream along with Supernatural by Graham Hancock. In to the basket they went. (Thank you Suzi) It only took a year or two but I get there in the end and coincidence is not to be sniffed at.....

I have been lusting after a book called Tender. It comes in two volumes, one on vegetables, the other on fruit. They are big hardback cookbooks, full of juicy ideas. not cheap but oh so tempting. in they went to.

And if we are talking about expensive book lust then this one has to be the most expensive book I have bought in a loooong time. A book of magpie ecology. I have a thing about magpies. I spend a lot of time watching them and their behaviour intrigues me and sometimes puzzles. I want to know more.

None of these books are ones I would have bought unless a little flush. I spend a bit of money each month to meet my fiction needs, but this is a lot more than I would normally spend.

If I were rich, my house would be full of books.....
