I love how your expression in almost every one is the same xD You got quite a hoard there! Didn't buy any books (and have banned myself from doing so unless its from a series im reading/i've finished the books i need to read) but this is a good idea for a thread nonetheless.

Apart from in the picture with The Reaper Man, in which I am evil XP Also I made myself that promise too, it was my new year's resolution. I failed. Lots.

Aw Department 19 was one I almost got to proof read for Waterstone's, but then I stopped working there ;___;

I bought Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. I managed 10 pages on the train, and I can't wait to read some more of it.

Hehe. I bought a lot, yesterday though. :b
The Shining, Silence of the Lambs, Deception Point, and Shall we Tell the President.
The first three are fairly famous so I hope you know the authors. :b the fourth is by Jeffery Archer.

Went charity shopping again today. Oddly most of the books I bought I already have, but I went to one shop and they were selling books for 10p and then another just had a pile saying take and please donate if you can. But I found a load of good books so I bought them with the idea that I'll trade them or give them to people as gifts. This first book, yes I'm aware it's for 4 year olds but it was one of my favourite books growing up and I thought for 10 pence I'd like to have a copy again XP Then this one was also 10 pence. I have it but it's a really good book. I figure it can be a christmas present for someone if I'm really broke XP This was in the free or donate pile! O.o 60 pence for this, I've just read Sophie's World which was quite good, so I'm happy to try another Jostein Gaarder. Stephen Fry, one of my favourite authors! I have this book but I will keep this one anyway because it's a different cover. Again 60 pence. And this one's for my mum, who is winnie the pooh obsessed. 50 pence.

Yeah, but wouldn't you buy a lot too at the prices I pay for them? Also I gave mum the Winnie the Pooh book and made her guess how much it cost me XP Was fun.
