My birthday is sort of soon (September 5th) and because the thought of picking presents brings John out in a cold sweat he's set me a price limit and told me to pick what I want. For anyone who's interested:
Red Dragon by Thomas Harris
The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters
The Sealed Letter by Emma Donoghue
The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe
House of Echoes by Barbara Erskine
The Journal of Dora Damage by Belinda Starling
Zelda's Cut by Philippa Gregory
Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys
Speaking of books, I'm reading The Stand for the third time. I only read it over Christmas but I had an urge to go back to it.
Further proof that I'm going mad: I dreamed that Christian Bale showed up to shout at my housemate and then demanded a bacon sandwich in payment.
