I hope you love it! It was very different from ...1. I hope you love it! It was very different from what I had expected, but I love being surprised by books. It's very thought-provoking and a bit sad, but really beautiful.<br /><br />2. I was not surprised Hanna chose that book, either, though very pleased, because I've been delaying buying it for so long, just in case someone was to buy it from my wishlist. :D :D<br /><br />3. I think I remember seeing Flowers for Algernon on your wishlist. It was one of the books that kept coming up when I looked for classic science fiction recommendations. Plus I love those yellow SF Masterworks covers!<br /><br />4. I went into Heroes knowing only "Save the cheerleader, save the world," and that Young Spock is the villain (although I haven't yet met him.) I'm just about to watch another few episodes in a minute.<br /><br />5. Already it feels like it is going to rain FOREVER and I do not approve of this weather. Though I do like getting the jumpers out again. I have missed jumpers, fluffy pyjamas and blankets.<br /><br />6. Good luck with Waterstone's! Though retail at Christmas can be... challenging. Fingers crossed, this year is better than last - I'd already had a severe wobble by this time last year (ended up crying over something stupid like running out of binbags!)

Now we will be forever confused!<br /><br />Thanks for the warning about Charlotte's Tolkien book. <br /><br />I love the Witches. Magrat is most like me, but they are just such a great team, and Nanny Ogg is hilarious.

Oh yeah... because she's STILL TELLING ME OFF FOR NOT HAVING READ IT YET!<br /><br />3) I really want to read Flowers for Algernon, I hope it turns out to be as amazing as everyone says it is! All the reviews I've ever read/seen have been 5-star rave ones, so fingers crossed. :D<br /><br />4) I really should go back to Heroes again. I got completely lost somewhere in the second or third series, but I loved the first one. PETER PETRELLI IS THE BEEEEEEST.<br /><br />5) Thunderstorms or just regular storms, I am UNIMPRESSED with October's weather so far. Unimpressed, Katie. I shouldn't want to go into hibernation until at least mid-November, but I'm having a hard time finding reasons to get out of my pyjamas this week. :P<br /><br />6) Hope another bookshop Christmas doesn't end up feeling TOO bad - I'm looking at temp work at Waterstones and I'm genuinely not sure if it's a great idea or the worst one I've ever had. On the one hand, back in a bookshop - on the other, RETAIL. AT CHRISTMAS. AGAIN. *sighs heavily and slopes off to make another cup of tea* Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246472269477492583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322599747616522091.post-61052187321445878312014-10-12T22:23:50.449+01:002014-10-12T22:23:50.449+01:00All the best people are late... *cough cough*
I&#...All the best people are late... *cough cough*<br /><br />I'm glad you liked your package and the Stephen King title irritates me EVERY TIME. I just don't see why they couldn't have made that teeny change for UK publication. I love the Tolkien book that Charlotte sent but get the tissues out ready for when you read it!<br /><br />Aww, you've made me want to read one of the Witches books - I love Magrat.Hanna @ Booking in Heelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705048655467252248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322599747616522091.post-68975451281004350122014-10-12T22:22:38.317+01:002014-10-12T22:22:38.317+01:00I'm sure your local booksellers will agree tha...I'm sure your local booksellers will agree that book-loving kindred spirits are what makes the job worthwhile. Also, WOOHOO STUDENT PERKS!!! Spend your bonus points unwisely, my friend! :D :D<br /><br />I'm still so touched and thrilled by all the books you people sent me for my birthday, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I really OUGHT to impose another book-buying ban on myself until I've got my three book piles down to one... but that's not going to happen. Maybe nearer to Christmas.<br /><br />In short: YAY BOOKS!
