| The books I got for Dominic arrived this week - The Spooks Mistake which he read one night before bed! and Resistance by Gemma O'Malley (I think from memory) which he is reading now - he thought Declaration was one of the best books he has read recently. |

I was in Blackwells today (big mistake) and got Daphne by Justine Picardie, The Lost Book of Salem by Katherine Howe and The Barracks by John McGahern on 3 for 2. I had a tough time choosing only 3 though because I also wanted The Monsters of Templeton. Anyway I talked myself out of buying that one as well but now I wish I had so I most likely get it at some later date!  |
