books

Not baby books. Real books. There are some new books out I want to read before the baby comes and my reading time ends for another few years.

Tracy Chevalier has a new one about William Blake I love the sound of. I must read a biography of him - he saw God in some very Anne Rice way, I think. Come to think of it, she's writing 'religious writing' now - I must find out what that means - religious fiction or theology?

One of my favourite 'chicklit' authors, Lisa Jewel has a new one out, something with an address in the title, I think. I love her books, her characters are great and there's something very fresh about them. I like her coincidences and time spans. It all comes together into something quite believable - and amazingly, I got one or two of her books free from magazines (my favourite experience) and one from the recycling - Happy Days!

I don't think I've read Janet Evanovich's 12th, or Terry Pratchett (hah, I just wrote Terry Potter) 's Wintersmith - I know someone I can borrow the former off next weekend! (I must write that down) - it's that or buy it in Tesco for €8. I develop OCD about certain novelists, those are my only options for TP. And I'd borrow the JE from my bf except she's in England, so it complicates things - I think I may have two of her other JEs and she never wants to lug them home again, guilt, guilt.

And finally, the last Harry Potter is out this summer - unfortunately I think the baby will just beat him to it - why must the English school holidays be so short? And I'm worried about reading it post-baby hormonally, the last one was sad enough. Will I be able to face more deaths?

What else?

DVDs - I still haven't seen Little Miss Sunshine or James Bond. Actually, I know someone who has The Bond movie. I must definitely write all this down, We should all do swapsies more often - though that only works if people return things promptly, which leaves me right out!
