Book Haul – 14th Jan
So much for the whole “not getting new books this year” thing. These came into the shop at various points in the last week or so and have managed to make their way home with me. When I’ll get round to them, I don’t know. Especially considering reading isn’t my No. 1 priority right now;…

An Update, of sorts.
Seeing as we’re nearing the middle of the month and I’ve not updated with anything substantial in over a week, I thought I’d better break my silence.
