Yesterday I went to a nearby town of mine to meet up with a friend and do a little book shopping. Her town doesn't have a Waterstones, I know the shame! It does however have The Works, a shop in the UK that sells brand new books, films and a bunch of other little nick knacks for amazingly low prices. I didn't actually get anything though. We also went to WHSmiths which has the most ridiculous layout in this town and we couldn't find any books we were looking for. I nearly bought a 'Reading Lamp' that looked just like the Pixar one but I steered away from it. We went into a DVD shop and I didn't buy Rise Of The Guardians, even though it was only £10. There's a small part of my brain that is hoping I will find it cheaper but that apparently is not the case. Why do they make the DVDs of animated films so god damn more expensive than regular films!? It's the same price to see them at the cinema, and those prices are bad enough, Eurgh money.
Anyway, I managed to snag some Collins Classics by literally spending approximately 20 minutes deciding which books to get that would fit the 5 books for £5 for selected stock only offer. There was also a buy one get one free on the rest.
In the end I got,
Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Gulliver's Travels by Johathan Swift
The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis StevensonThe Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Around the World In Eighty Days by Jules Verne
We then made a much deserved pit stop at Gregg's, the bakery of heaven and then went to some charity shops and I got:
The Who and the Making of Tommy by Nigel Cawthorne
I love love love love The Who so I hope this is great :)
I also got a beautiful copy of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen which I don't need to explain and The Poe Shadow by Matthew Pearl, a book based on the mysterious death of Edgar Allan Poe, who I love. (for some reason, the picture won't go horizontal?)
And that's it for now, I shall be posting reviews and such when I get round to reading them all.
