"She doesn't read books. She devours them, like a little wolf."
Bad news and good news, today.
Bad news: my iPod got stolen. This really upset me, but I got over it within hours: I have no talent for unhappiness. I can replace it for £50 via insurance. Of course, I also had plenty of reason to be happy...
Good news: my friend just gave me The Game by Diana Wynne Jones! She is my favourite author, and it's a new book by her. I am unbelievably happy about this; my darling friend, who is the Boy Next Door, seemed rather surprised when I leapt on him, gave him a hug and a kiss. But it's so good. She didn't publish for over ten years, after proligacy in the 70s and 80s; I still get this disbelieving thrill when I hear there's a new one.
Even better, it says at the back we're getting a sequel to Howl's Moving Castle!
And there's a book fair at college! I shall overspend horribly tomorrow, I can feel it.
