A change in the weather

Monday day I woke up to hear it raining. Yah. Then on & off through Tuesday.3mm according to the BOM website. 3 mm?? I'm sure they keep the rain gauge inside.

It was supposed to rain late today too. Maybe to night.

However, it's turned cold. Shiver. Cold. Need to buy a jumper or something to wear to work :(

1) Total number of books I've owned?

(Does this include the ones I've thrown away?)

Not enough, obviously. This goes without saying.

2) The last book I bought?

The one sitting beside me, "Ships of the High Seas", which probably surprises no one who was paying attention. Fiction, ah, that would be the "Buy 2, get one three" offer on the table of Favourite Classics last year (Wuthering Heights, Three Musketeers, Emma).

3) The last book I read?

That's a novel idea. Reading the books. I'm halfway through the Three Musketeers so I guess that counts.


4) Five books or series that mean a lot to me:

Now what does this mean?

Favourite childhood book, maybe? That would Black Beauty, of which I had and have multiple copies. It still makes me cry too :)

Another book from a long time ago that I'm trying to find again with no luck, party because I don't know the little, is a Little Golden Book about a little house. The houses on either side/neighbourhood get progressively worse, until the little house is rescued and taken back to the country.

I guess I need to include the series that got me hooked on fantasy, which is Kerr's Deverry series, at least the first 4. I've reread those many time.

Then there's the lovely looking "The Real Jack Russell". At the last JR show I went to, the judge a highly respected, mainland breeder, brought this book over to give as an encouragement award. I didn't have a dog entered at the show so I volunteered to be steward (responsible for getting dogs & handlers into the ring in an orderly manner). The judge was so impressed, he gave the book :)

And obviously the other book that means a lot to me is the one I'm writing now ;)

5) Now I get to tag people but I can't remember who has already done this, so I shall close my eyes and point (and try not to accidently close this window this time) girliejones ferragus shadowhelm & kaelajael (No obligation, our salesmen are standing by to take your call now)
