Shopping Spree!

That's what I did today :)
First of all bought 5 books with my book tokens from Prize Giving. This is what I bought:
-The Dark Flight Down, which I have been waiting to come into softback for almost a year. The prequel is amazing, called The Book of Dead Days (I can't be bothered to link it) and it's really creepy and cool.
-Drowned Wednesday, because Garth Nix is just the best author ever. And because I stupidly started buying this Keys to the Kingdom series before realising that there were 7 and he's only publishing one a year, meaning I'll be buying them until I'm 20! Oh well, what can you do?
-Troll Fell, because it looked fun and I read an extract so want to read the rest now. I always do that, it's ridiculous really!
-A Hat Full of Sky, because all Terry Pratchett books are good, and the prequel to this was amazing. I like his children's books, because they're a lot gentler than his adult ones, and consequently also often a lot more clever!
-And finally my personal favourite, Camelot's Shadow, which I have been wanting to read for sooooooooo long on account of a) me being obsessed with all things Arthurian and b) it looking quite so amazing. I think I shall read this book last, so that I can savour the fact that I finally get to read it more :)

I'll let you know when I'm finished!
I also then went on a clothes shopping spree as I needed new summer clothes, especially for China because we can't wear anything that is classed as revealing - which includes strappy tops, anything relatively low, and skirts above the knee.
Only, by accident - and it was an accident, honest! - I spent £80. Oops. Well actually Dad spent £80, but still. I am going to be very nice and acquiesent for the next few days - wait, years!
I bought 2 pairs of trousers, 2 tops, a cardiganny-thing, 3 skirts and also a pair of shoes. So not bad really!
But still. I spent way too much. I was all set up to be thrifty (don't know if that's actually a word or not!) but then went and looked in Peacocks (I'm really into links today can you tell? (and brackets as well!!)),which unexpectedly had dozens upon dozens of really lovely clothes. So bang went the minimalist policy!
Anyway, I really have to go read a book now, so bye xxx
PS Don't you just love Waterstones? It's so tidy, and therefore so soothing, I love order!
