Today I bought The Enormous Crocodile and Esio Trot by Roald Dahl and The Earthsea Quartet by Ursula K Le Guin to my boyfriend. Oh and I almost forgot: (I'm really into children's books at the moment... ) The Diamond of Drury Lane by Julia Golding. I've never heard of it before I just bought it because it's got a nice cover!

I bought Stardust today. I'm excited to read it; I think I've read it before, but I'm not sure. Haha, I just got that in the mail from online ordering.

All these great books! I'd say that $50 was well spent

Oh, Fingersmith - lucky you! I really want to read that one day, seeing as i was so impressed by the BBC adaptation.
I keep having to buy children's picture books for one of my Lit courses - annoying! But i guess it does provide me with gift options for Christmas time!
