It's been a good week in terms of book buying, just one book which was actually a preorder that I completely forgot was due out around now and a couple of review books that I'm excited about. The majority of my haul this week though is the giant stack of library books I somehow managed to acquire! Hopefully they'll keep me going for a while... There's a couple of -rereads in the pile and the only Mieville book I haven't read so fingers crossed it's as good as the rest!
