I got a lovely little hardback of The Strange Library by Murakami. Gorgeous looking book. Also a £10 amazon voucher so will definitely treat myself in the sale. How about you?

However I am jealous of DD who got 55 pounds worth of book/amazon tokens!!!

I got Clockwork Angel (1st of Infernal Devices trilogy by Cassandra Clare) from DD which I have already read.

Then a s election of interesting looking but more meaningful sci-fi from DH which I'm going to start on tomorrow as we have a long train journey

DD knows and sympathises with my love of proper trash fantasy and a suitably romantic 'bad boy' hero

The Book of Strange New Things by Michel Faber.

I'm my own santa so bought it for myself,wasn't sure what other book to get so plumped for this,despite being different to my general reads,as it gets such great reviews.

Got the hardback version and it is visually stunning.Beautiful white dust jacket covered in a lovely gold foil pattern with gold foil title.

The Book underneath looks lovely too.Pure white cover with the title deeply imprinted-not an ounce of colour.Looks beautiful! I almost don't want to read it through fear of it not looking so perfect after
