I  have the wonderful task of buying for books for a local youth hostel! I have a small budget so it is with sheer delightful I meander around the musty crammed shelves of second hand book shops as I hunt for treasures. plus there's that £2 book shop in Greenwich that have some wonderful, brand new books for a fraction of the cost. Wonderful. I purchased;
Dreams and what they mean
Everything you need to know about Spells and Charms
A long way gone; memoirs of a boy soldier
Waiting to Exhale (I know, I know- but hey!!)
Numerology
A Long Way Down
I know  why the caged bird sings- an old classic,
                                          Maniac &          
                                          The coldest winter ever. 
Not bad for a mere £35! I'm pretty darn pleased with myself. I toyed with the idea of keeping Spells and Charms- but I've  a similar one already, and have been gently opening the pages of A Long way gone; reading the exploits of  a boy soldier in Sierri Leonne at the outbreak of war. It's brilliant so far, and has to go on my own reading list.
This is how I love to spend my days. Books and paper and reading and words. Wonderful!
