I'd forgotten that b...OH MY GOD, <i>WHATEVER NEXT!</i> I'd forgotten that book EXISTED. I used to love it. Bless Laura and her super finding of books!<br /><br />I can't wait to see Les Mis. I was literally introduced to the stage show when I was five years old and my parents found it hilarious when I sang the rude parts of Master of the House in the middle of York one day... I love the book too :)<br /><br />I didn't know you never finished Good Omens or I'd have bashed you over the head with a copy until you did! Uhh, by which I mean I would have politely suggested it to you... clearly my Criminal prep work for tomorrow has made me violent :s<br /><br />Anyway. It's good. Read it :)Hanna @ Booking in Heelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705048655467252248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246380981479604275.post-82472761555324142302013-01-13T23:08:26.069+00:002013-01-13T23:08:26.069+00:00Also, I felt a LITTLE bit like Clark Gable in Gone...Also, I felt a LITTLE bit like Clark Gable in Gone With the Wind as I was writing that, which was... weird.Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246472269477492583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246380981479604275.post-76413660813869580922013-01-13T23:07:41.443+00:002013-01-13T23:07:41.443+00:00LAURA ROWSELL I SAW THAT.

I see The Gruffalo's Child and Noddy and Bob and Jill Murphy and Shirley Hughes and Ten Tiny Tadpoles and think YES. (I have a bit of a thing for reading children's books at the shop and having a Moment.)<br /><br />Then I see mention of Good Omens and Nora Ephron and my NOT-inner-six-year-old gets all excited. Ohhh, happy reading, both of you. :DElliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246472269477492583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246380981479604275.post-66240220373298551622013-01-13T21:26:56.019+00:002013-01-13T21:26:56.019+00:00How have you never seen the show? You must see it!...How have you never seen the show? You must see it!! We should totally go and see it, I'm dragging you. Unless you hate the film, obviously, then I will just make upset noises in your general direction... <br /><br />The thing I'm most excited about in this post is how out of 44 books that came into our house this week, I'm only responsible for five. Well proud :-p anarmchairbytheseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593618746095559894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246380981479604275.post-57658078125393540022013-01-13T21:17:57.045+00:002013-01-13T21:17:57.045+00:00You *could* try reading I Remember Nothing to Benj...You *could* try reading I Remember Nothing to Benjamin, but... I'm not sure he's ready for Ephron! I feel preeeeetty smug that you didn't already have Whatever Next yet, cause I was a teeny bit worried about that. But it's SO GOOD that I think every home can do with two! :)<br /><br />ALSO ZOMG all the books! This post is SO bad for me, cause of my own book buying ban (let's see, we're 13 days into it? Oh, only about a MILLION days to go *crumples into a sad heap*) and yet I still totally enjoyed it, obviously! I especially applaud your acquisition of The Gruffalo's Child, cause it's really good! (I have a copy of it for some reason, but no copy of The Gruffalo! It's weird).<br /><br />Aaaaand, I'm so glad everyone is saying Les Mis is good! I'm going to see it on Wednesday, and I've never seen the show, or read the book, so it's my first time! I'm super nervous! (I mean, excited! Super excited. I got mixed up with something else there. Sorry.)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.com
