It was world book day yesterday
(not that anybody would have noticed)
I took a token from my library a few days ago
and exchanged it for a book today
(there's a choice of 10 silly children's books)
I got
'The Sharing a Shell Song'
which is pretty meh
but
the pictures by Lydia Monks are fun -
I like the seagull with the brolly during the storm scene
x3
cute <3
I was a little confused
and, to be honest, a little insulted and hurt too
that on the receipt for the book
(lol, a receipt for something I didn't pay for...)
it said dollars.
> = (
Quoth:

Sharing a Shell WBD07 1.00
WBD Voucher 07 EPOS 0.00
Total: £1.00
#1WBDVoucher -1.00
Cash 0.00
You saved £1.00 today
2 Item(s) sold ... &c

(read # as a dollar sign because, for obvious reasons, my keyboard doesn't have a dollar sign avaliable.)

It's not like I payed for anything anyway, but since when did I do any transaction that directly involved American currency? I don't want to sound offensive or anything, but I'd hate to think I was dealing with dollars. (To be honest, I don't even like shopping at ASDA since it was bought out by Walmart...)
Also, I was confused by the 2 items sold part...
*shrug*

Oh!
Does anybody know what
jonnycake is?
Hoffman keeps mentioning it in 'Blackbird House' and I don't know what it is, other than a cake.


(I've lost my library card! ;o; ! I've looked more or less everywhere in my room and around the house and I can't find it. I made Bexy get Blackbird House and Slow Decay -a Torchwood book, because I'm nerdy and I only bought 'Another Life'- out for me, but I want more books. I can't just have two, it's physically impossible.)

&
(people that actually know me, of course
people that live in Hinckley)
if anybody sees a copy of
The Shell House
in a shop someplace
be it a charity shop or WH or somewhere
please tell me!
- I took it out of the school library and loved it <3
Though, in all fairness, it's structured like every other book
Linda Newbery has written. She is a wonderful
writer, unquestionably, but her books are like...
they're like a row of terraced houses; they all look and feel very
similar, despite the fact that they have different things inside.


AND
my camera won't work
It's a pile of piss.
I was trying to take a picture of Mackenzie when he was wearing my pink headband
but it kept switching to sound and AVI
which it isn't meant to do
> = |

I'm also going to start keeping a list of books
that I have read recently
because I tend to remember random lines
and not remember which books I have read
and, consequently, where the quote came from.
&&&
I might make a list of books that I own
just so I don't go buying a book I already have
(unless the second copy is really, really nice)
and so other people don't either,
considering my grandpa bought me:
The Liar
and
The Mill on the Floss
today, despite the fact that I already have both (-but I have not read the latter...)
