Spring arriving would be lovely.<br /><br /><b>Willa</b> - I love that you wrote this! This is so exactly my philosophy - I look on it as a charitable donation, and I just happen to gets books in return.<br /><br /><b>Mum</b> - you never wanted a dining room, did you??<br /><br /><b>Paul</b> - thanks for the recommendation! I look forward to it - sounds very up my street.<br /><br /><b>Verity</b> - Facebooked you :)<br /><br /><b>Darlene</b> - I do often post piles of books and hardly anyone seems to have read them - my eccentric reading tastes again :)<br /><br /><b>Blithe Spirit</b> - thanks for writing about that one; I have heard of that film, but had no idea the book was connected.<br /><br /><b>LifetimeReader</b> - think I'm the wrong side of the Atlantic! Books leave my house much less often than they arrive...<br /><br /><b>Susan</b> - I love that idea! Valentine's books will last much longer than flowers or chocolates.StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-28725641444071228362011-02-02T21:45:34.352+00:002011-02-02T21:45:34.352+00:00Ruth - Ok!

But, here in New England, we are blest, & inundated with used book shops - they just cost a little more.

Perhaps you think it is a book you should have read when you were 10. Well that's true, but it works just as well as a book to be read by an adult as well (and you'll see it differently)Dark Pusshttp://morganas-cat.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-28014949024430154652011-02-02T16:03:58.597+00:002011-02-02T16:03:58.597+00:00The Susan Hill books caught my eye.

I'm really appreciating the masses that have accrued on my shelf in this year of limited spending. I'm also learning that my past shopping habits have led to much frustration in that there's never enough time to read what I already own. (Of course, all these new insights didn't stop any of us from arming dh with a "Valentine shopping list" for Powell's when he headed out to Oregon to work this week! --even the kids gave him one. :) )<br />I always enjoy seeing other's book hauls, though.

I think you'll really enjoy reading it.

I mean, basically you are doing something good with your money and just happen to get a book...
