Good morning folks! (apologies in advance for any spelling mistakes- I am writing this at 1:35am and I've just got in from a night out so things may get a little squeewiff)
This week I've been quite a good girl and only bought two books. Both were from my beloved Oxfam bookshop and only set me back £4.50 which is much improved on last weeks bookapalooza.
I bought The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley and A Lost Lady by Willa Cather. Both were pretty random purchases as I've never read anything by either author before, but I mooched another book by Willa Cather the other day which should hopefully arrive before the end of the month along with my other mooch - The White Horse by Jules Watson (I'm fairly sure that's the right name but my mind is very fuzzy at this time). So I thought that I should try another book by Cather before the mooch arrived to see if I liked her work.
Well seeing as it's nearly 2am here in old Blighty I'm going to go to sleep now, or I may just carry on with the book I've been reading for a group read on LibraryThing which is the World Without End by Ken Follett. It's the last week and I want to get it finished this weekend.
Anyways c'est tout pour ce week-end
Bonne Nuit!

Good morning! It is 9 p.m. on Saturday here in Ohio. I've never read Willa Cather but I have read The Mists of Avalon. Have you seen the movie?
Here is my IMM for this week.
Af'noon! I haven't seen the movie no- I didn't actually know there was one but thanks for telling me, I shall have to try and look for it once I've read the book. When I actually read the Cather books I'll put a review up on here (eep I really do need to do some reviews). Thanks for dropping by!
Hope you enjoy them all and have fun book shopping!
I haven't read either of these titles but I've heard good things about The Mists of Avalon. Enjoy!
I loved Mists of Avalon. It is one of the few books that I've reread. I've read all of the prequels as well. The movie was a tv-movie for cable and I actually enjoyed it and it's what made me reread the book actually.Big fan. I hope you enjoy it too! Happy reading@
Great books you got this week. They both look really interesting. Hope you enjoy reading all your books.
