A Throne of Glass Haul

I'd been eyeing up the Throne of Glass paperbacks since I first spotted them in Waterstones, but couldn't justify paying full price when they were significantly cheaper online. Except for Crown of Midnight, Amazon have them listed at around half price at the moment, and I was just about to go to check out when I thought, hey I'll have a snoop around on eBay first. I ended up finding the first three books on eBay for £11.99, with free 1st class postage(!!!) - the bargain was too good to miss. They arrived here yesterday and I'm very happy with them. They even came with a dust jacket (of sorts, I have no idea what it is!) which I'm thinking of making into some Throne of Glass-themed bookmarks.

If you'd like to purchase these yourself, the eBay seller I used is here and I'd highly recommend them!

Itsy Bitsy Birthday Book Haul!

It's my birthday!

Last Friday, I turned the big two-oh! I didn't really ask for much, so receiving a bit of birthday money and the books above was a nice and unexpected surprise. I always find it interesting to see which books people will pick out for you. My aunty bought me Not That Kind of Girl by Lena Dunham which I've had a little look at and I'm not sure it'll be my cuppa tea, but I appreciated it nonetheless. The Shock of the Fall and Where'd You Go Bernadette were both off David and I think he did a good job! Then again, as I'm writing this, I'm wondering if he just had a sneak peek at my Amazon wishlist... 

I didn't really do an awful lot this year. I did have my family round, as always, which was good and very chill. I think a lot of people expected me to go out and get mortal but that sort of thing really doesn't appeal to me. I'd much rather stay home, watch TV, have a long, hot bath and read a good book.
