8) Elizabeth and Essex - Giles Lytton Strachey (hb)
Where? Oxfam Books
Why? Flu continues. I attempted to go to work on Tuesday but left at lunch to see a doctor. After blowing an outrageous amount of cash on getting said doctor to write me a sick note and a prescription I rewarded myself with this book which had caught my eye over the weekend.
I generally try to avoid buying old battered books just because they are pleasingly old and battered. But I am quite interested in Elizabethan politics so there're even odds I'll actually read this.
Also, it's Oxfam books. Charitable donation, not a real purchase
The Damage? €4.00
9) Snuff - Terry Pratchett (hb)
Where? Redacted
Why? Still sick mind you and now at home in my pjs I got a tip on twitter about a local bookshop selling Snuff two days ahead of its release date.
New Discworld book don't really need justification for purchase
The Damage? €19.99
This is already fairly illuminating. I spent over €100 on books in less than two weeks. No wonder I never have any freaking money.
