Went to the annual DCM Bookfair today. Spent more than I intended, although less than I'd budgeted for.
Most of what I got are what I'd classify vaguely as 'junk books' - nice to have, but really, not necessary. I'm rather please with my acquisition of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke, though. Got some Eddings (the Elenium to complete a set), some children's books, a couple of 2-in-1 Regency romances, some random historical non-fiction books, including a biography of Bismark, and so on.
Most impressively, if I get rid of two books I was thinking about selling anyway that somehow survived by last cull (they're pretty), they all fit on my shelves!
Came home, came online, vaguely started cataloging. It's all done now, which is nice, and now I can cover them at my leisure. Of course, one I vaguely catalogued under 945 BAR, since I couldn't find a Dewey number anywhere for Crisis in the Early Italian Renaissance: Civic Humanism and Republican Liberty in an Age of Classicism and Tyranny by Hans Baron. If anyone knows it, I'd be grateful.
I should find something to do. Maybe I'll write some. Or embroider. I wonder what's on television...
