Treasure!

I’ve got myself quite a few good books today.

Catch Me If You Can by Frank Abagnale arrived today from a fellow bookmoocher. I’m really looking forward to starting it – it’ll probably be next after Lolita.

My mother went to town today and I was also able to coerce her to take my library list (since I only had one libary book out and I’ve just finished it, and I only have one outstanding reservation which I’ve been waiting for since January even though nobody else has it and it’s only coming from a couple of miles away, so I can afford to have a couple of books out). I was expecting one or two books but instead she treated me to Oranges are Not the Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson, You Shall Know Our Velocity by Dave Eggers and Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. Oranges is first up because it’s the shortest – I’m not in the mood for anything long at the moment.

I have a lot of exams at the moment so I won’t have much time to read them, but it’s nice to know I’ve got so many good books waiting for me. What reads are you looking forward to at the moment?
