Book Haul #123, Or The One Where It Was World Book Day...

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly event hosted on Tynga's Reviews where we can share what new books we've picked up this past week be they bought, borrowed or downloaded. There are also lots of other 'book haul' memes out there for you to choose from!

So, it was World Book Day yesterday and over 200 children in a bookshop at once all wanting to choose their WBD books is a fantastic time to take your lunch break... I escaped by going somewhere else to pick up a couple of the WBD titles and trying to find a quiet spot in the coffee shop to read. From that you can gather I bought books again but it was only 3 of the WBD titles plus I completely forgot to mention my copy of Morning Star last week. I think anybody who's a fan would be alright with me breaking my ban for the last of that particular trilogy!

Book Haul #106, Or The One Where I Burnt My Foot...

I'm a day behind this week thanks to the saga of the foot! It started with a blister and ended with a two inch burn caused by antiseptic cream... Turns out I've developed an allergy to Germolene antiseptic cream so instead of helping the blister I got (after wearing old shoes!) I now have a hideously huge burn and can't wear anything on my feet for at least another four days. And the pain is unbelievable!

Obviously I need to cheer myself up so I did indeed go book buying mad. Well, a little bit mad! I decided to treat myself to a few of the new Penguin 80th Little Black Classics (if you could say ten is a few) and I bought two of the UK World Book Day books that I wanted.
