another shopping post

When I'm bored, I shop. And when I shop, I buy tons of books.

My latest Amazon order:

Have His Carcase and Gaudy Night by Dorothy L. Sayers. I already bought Strong Poison at Borders tonight and I'm going to start that one once I finish my latest Plaidy book. These came recommended by the Snarkfest Current Reads thread. I'm looking forward to reading a good mystery series.

Comic Book Tattoo: Tales inspired by Tori Amos

Monsters: Mary Shelley and the Curse of Frankenstein. I think I enjoy reading more about the lives of the Romantics than their actual works. (See Passions by Jude Morgan) Did I mention that I netflixed Gothic? Whoa. 0_o

Spaced: The Complete Series.

I also sank to a new level of geekdom and bought a Doctor Who t-shirt. Because I apparently need everyone who might chance to see me know that I am a huge nerd. And then I also bought a Chairman Meow t-shirt.

Speaking of clothes, does anybody have recommendations for clothing sites? I often see Anthropologie mentioned on SF and while I like their clothes, they're quite a bit out of my price range. I'm feeling the rare urge to improve my wardrobe.

I think we may have been separated at birth. I've actually had to impose a book buying embargo because I am seriously running out of space. The library is getting a lot of my business these days.

Ooh, report back on that Mary Shelley book? (I'm actually reading a "cultural history" of Frankenstein right now, whatever that is.) And OH GOD, Gothic. I think I rented it because my British Romanticism prof kept mentioning how much she hated it. I know it's wrong, but I kind of love it.

Anyway, yay books and Simon Pegg!
