I buy books. Used bookstore, thank goodness, but a lot of books. I went a little nuts.


Caudwell, Sarah. The Shortest Way to Hades, Thus Was Adonis Murdered (both with the waycool Edward Gorey covers).

Crispin, Edmund. The Moving Toyshop. Introducing Gervase Fen.

Dickinson, Peter. Hindsight, The Old English Peep Show. (That was the selection they had, and I took it.)

du Maurier, Daphne (or should that be Maurier, Daphne du?). Don't Look Now.

Dummett, Michael. The Visconti-Sforza Tarot Cards. ("Ooh, pretty," said the bookstore guy.)

Ford, John M. The Final Reflection, Growing Up Weightless (to replace my AWOL copy), The Princes of the Air. (See above, re: Dickinson, Peter.)

Lamott, Anne. Traveling Mercies. Battered $5 copy. All I'd pay for it anyway, but I do want to read it.

Langton, Jane. Natural Enemy. Somehow I hadn't made the connection that the Jane Langton who wrote The Diamond in the Window was the same Jane Langton who writes (wrote?) Homer Kelly mysteries. So I'm trying one (signed, with an incredibly cute drawing of a spider, by the author).

LeFaun, J. Sheridan. Wylder's Hand. Because it was there, it was $3, and I need (for writing-related reasons) to increase my familiarity with Victorian and Edwardian horror writers.


Shouldn't have spent the money, but I'm glad I have the books.
