How dare you make ALL your fiction paperbacks 3 for 2! I have enough trouble avoiding your offers when they’re restrictive, it’s damn near impossible when it’s open season on fiction.
So, stocking the shelves as we venture further into double stacking before the move and inevitable fourth bookcase:
Of course, Linda couldn’t help herself either so there were six new paperbacks vying for room on our Billy’s this weekend.
Still, I can’t really damn Waterstones as their reward card means that the Vintage edition of Mikhail Bulgakov’s The White Guard I’m reading was free. Still, it’s a lousy translation that’s actually making reading a bit of a slog in comparison to his other works I’ve read.
I’ve been operating on a bit of a rule in terms of reading – Non-Fiction, Classic, Fiction, Non-Fiction, Classic etc to stop me getting too immersed in WW2 and boring the arse off everyone with it but this influx means that I’m likely to stay on fiction for a while. Though, then again, I’ve still got a few non-fictions recently arrived that’ll need reading too….
Ho hum.
I prefer mine
