So I went to the bookstore yesterday

[MissHoneychurch]

which in itself isn't quite a surprise.

This is what I bought

Mahmud Doulatabadi "The Colonel" - a book about a family in the Iran during and around the revolution in 1979. I couldn't find a link to an English translation. But a link with a very short biography about the author http://www.west-oestlicher-diwan-weimar.de/doulatabadi_en.html?iframe=true&width=100%&height=100%

Kathy Reichs "Spider Bones" http://www.amazon.com/Spider-Bones-Temperance-Brennan-Novels/dp/1439102392/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1284021274&sr=8-1
YAY!! Finally a new mystery by her. I love her novels.

Terry Pratchett "I shall wear Midnight" http://www.amazon.com/Shall-Wear-Midnight-Terry-Pratchett/dp/0061433047/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1284021346&sr=1-1
A new discworld adventure with the young witch Tiffany Aching. I am still waiting for a new novel with the old witches.

I somehow had to smile about the combination of books I bought. That is what I wanted to tell with this thread.

1. Well, we all know how weird you are...

so that combination does not surprise me!:P

You know I love ya babe; just had to pull your leg a bit.

Sounds like an interesting selection there.

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Weird is good

Still trying to figure out where I will journey next week.

May have to settle for good old NC.

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Nothing wrong with NC

[cwydro]

5. But Frankfurt and Munich

have more to offer...:)

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Neither Frankfurt nor Munich

have an ocean :)

[cwydro]

7. I live surrounded by one lol

I can handle a week without.

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

12. Well, well

We may not have an ocean but we have this snazzy little festivals every year with oceans of beer! You two up for a mini-DU meet up at the Oktoberfest???? :7 :beer: :toast:

[MissHoneychurch]

14. Uh-oh

:scared:

I just talked to my boss from the groceries store and I asked if it is possible to work early Saturday next week. Let's cross all fingers and toes that he will do it.

18. Better take the bullet train

Those tents fill up fast! :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :woohoo:

[cwydro]

19. So funny!

We have been discussing this and I didn't even realize that is the start date!

Got a theme going here..Ireland for St. Paddy's, Germany for Oktoberfest!

8. happy reading...

i don't seem to have the time to read fiction like i used to, and for much of my life, it was all i ever read...

[MissHoneychurch]

9. I know you read a lot

you just have other sources.

[Brewman_Jax]

10. G'day, MissH!

:hi: :hug:

You'll be up all night reading those books, and tomorrow...:boring:

[MissHoneychurch]

13. They are added to the stack

of books I plan to read in the next weeks. :)

Right now I read a German mystery.
And I have 40 min daily at the tram while going to/from work :D

:hi: :hug:

[Brewman_Jax]

16. I have a short ride to work

of only about 20 mins on the train.

I was checking the schedule to see if I could find a team tonight, but the season has only 2 games left. It would probably be better for me to wait for the next season to start in about 2 weeks.

I wish I had more time to read. :donut:

:loveya: :hug: :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]
