Carboot, carboot carbootcarboot. Love them, love themmm

Love carboots. Today I spent £2.00. And I got:

- Terry Prachett, The Colour of Magic [50p] (Usually TP books are £2 EACH on every stall and since I can only remember trying to read a couple of his books at about age 11 and not being able to get into them, I won't risk that much per book).

- Ship of Destiny, Robin Hobb [50p] HARDBACK, brand spanking new. And yes I already own it, but I'm getting a double of everything because they're all prtty worn out. And well, some are paperback, some are large paperback and some are hardback and it's annoying because I can't put them all in order that way.

- Pan's Labyrinth DVD [£1.00] Looks like if it's been watched it was only once; all the advertising junk you get inside the box is still there. ONE POUND. I am so glad I followed my instincts and went back to that stall to ask. It'd cost me £15 on the internet new ;)


So, a productive day :D And I think I'm going to start keeping note of the books I've read coz I usually do over the course of the year and haven't this year. But I can start from September onwards? :)

You have lots of books to read. :D And have read lots. You mentioning The Dark Tower series reminds me that I really need to finish the series. I have five, six,and seven to read.

Also, yay for finding things for so cheap. Especially Pan's Labyrinth. WATCH IT SOON.

My connection has been messing up so much lately, it's frustrating. :( So I don't know if I'll be around today. I'm lucky when I can stay connected for ten minutes. And see, there it just went. -_- I probably won't even get to send this message.

And :P :P :P :P (I actually typed mine out, so it's not under c&p :P)

I told you the whole book thing is going great for me at the moment :D Definitely pick up Temeraire, like I said the writing isn't the most descriptive in feeling but it definitely picks up what with the plot. I cried a tiny bit. Temeraire is just, well such a dragon. I love his personality :D

I will watch it sometime soon, I just don't ge the urge for movies much. They require a long span of attention :x

I read Sabriel but was sort of disappointed with it so didn't bother with any of the rest of the series, this was back when I was like 12 or something though so I don't remember it too clearly. Just the disappointment.

See now, and I could've sworn it was you who recommended them to me. Maybe it was someone else. I was pretty let down by Sabriel myself, but since the lot only cost me a pound I can't be too bothered :) I may as well try the others, they weren't hard to read. And the concept what with the necromancy is interesting to me at least. I can at least enjoy that creation in it.
