Absolutely dire. I don't own a kindle but probably should - the other night we were woken up by a loud crash, as a five-foot-long bookshelf fell off the wall in my work room.

But in case I haven't before, one of my favourite dead authors: Maurice Walsh (pick any book). Esoterica for when my brain functions: Oldfield Howey's The Cult of the Dog. Latest pickup from the markets: The Manual of Heraldry (something you'd naturally expect to find in any Australian town!). Guilty online pleasure: Harry Potter fanfics.<br /><br />Reading pile - still growing.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08181307209370955942noreply@blogger.com
