Christmas Wishlist Continued~ Books

Well, here are some books I have been wanting to get for some time but just never got around to it~

This last one was not planned, trust me... But I saw it in a Bookstore in town, read parts of it and just knew I had to have it! Zombies and all~

Jane Austen

I got all of my new Jane Austen books today. The discription on the package read:

These beautiful books are

bound in full cloth, with gold edges,

woven headbands and tailbands, printed

endpapers, a red ribon marker, and with

all of the renowned artist Hugh Thomson's

evocative illustrations.

I think all of these books will come to Paris with me, I will need plenty of reading material in the evening.

Literature~

I got myself a new book today :)

The collected works of Oscar Wilde

I have vowed to do a lot of reading this summer!

Culture

Hm I am in such an odd mood at the moment. I have a horrid headache, but still I sit here with a smile on my face. Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture is playing and the air in my room is filled with the scent of vanilla. I just finished watching one of my favorite movies, but I will let you guess which one, and now I am sipping my tea, contemplating what to do next.

Perhaps I shall watch the House on the Haunted Hill? For I am craving Vincent Price... Or perhaps I should sit down and read? But then again... I have no books which I have not already read at least a hundred times. And my new books will not arrive for another week or so.

Ah yes, I haven't told you about that yet, have I? I have ordered a nice little collection of books, all written by Jane Austen. It is an adorable set, and will fit nicely into the library I intend to have at some point in my life.

At any rate... I think I will cease my ramblings for the moment and run off in search of more culture. And tea, of course! I always need more tea!

Intellectual Stimuli

God Child manga in French.

I have decided to try to get back to learning french again so I bought these in Paris right before we went to the airport. Oh and the clerk in the store was incredibly cute and very nice to me, helping me find everything I needed, so he deserves to be mentioned here :D

D. Eddings fantasy books.

I was missing these two books, which is odd since I know I have had them all at some point... Wonderful series anyway, both the Belgariad and the Malloreon, and I definitely advise you to read them!

Of course, one can not read without glasses. At least I can't. My eyesight has been deteriorating in the past few years so it was time to finally get some new spectacles. This time I decided that I wanted some slightly more classic frames, preferably in some metallic color, and these were the ones that I picked out. Two pairs for the price of one~

I decided to throw in my new chopsticks in the picture as well, simply because they are so incredibly cute and I felt like showing them off!
