Books 'n' Snacks.

My books came, my books came! As soon as my student loan came through I got on to amazon and started ordering away. If it wasn't for £2.75 postal charges some of them would have been just 39p.
There's nothing more I love than, the good kind of, post. Bills boooo, books woooo! I guess I should mention what they are...
The Selfish Gene - Richard Dawkins
The God Delusion - Richard Dawkins, too
..these are probably the only two you can see without squinting
Then there's E=MC² - Brian Cox
The Tipping Point - Malcolm Gladwell
Charlie Kaufman and Hollywood's Merry Band of Pranksters, Fabulists and Dreamers - An excursion into the American New Wave- Derek Hill and
A Short History of Nearly Everything - Bill Bryson
All that's left to come is Zeitgeist - Bruce Sterling which, I have a sneaky feeling, is stuck in an airport waiting for Iceland to sort out it's volcano.
I'm hoping they'll be a good read, I tend to like these kind of books, to mull over, rather than anything fictiony. Stephen Hawkins' A Brief History of Time got me started.  


On to snacks! Today has been a good food and snack day.















A Gloucester Road find. Biscuit and chocolate has never been so good. And I am a sucker for an interesting looking packet.
I should have been quicker 'cause Dan got most of them and just those three were mine!

WeightWatchers citrusy yoghurts..usually two for £2.50 in the supermarket!..and very much underrated.I could easily eat myself into a pink grapefruit yoghurty daze.

Salad! A bit of lemon juice, black pepper and some smoked salmon along with regular salady bits and this is, maybe, one of my favourite foods.
I think I might just be the best snack picker ever.

Library lust.

This is my local library!


Like an idiot, I've been a million times and not gone up to the first floor..I couldn't curse myself more for it. The place is a dream, it's all spiral staircases, old wooden desks and even older wooden spinny chairs, floor to ceiling shelves of dusty books, chests full of tiny draws full of old clippings, censuseseses, journals, everything to keep a Kate happy for a lifetime. There's nothing I love more than pretending I'm the first explorer of secret hidden bits and things in tiny old compartments.

Now, I got a little excited about having a blog so I just had to go and scribble down some ideas of sections I can, maybe, include. You know, like you always get a crossword in the newspaper I'm hoping I can have a few bits that will always feature every week.

My first idea was an 'I'll just leave you with this..' section so here it is. A few library related bits for you to swoon and sigh over.

Of course, when I need it most, the original site now looks like this but I found the next best thing, this little site, and from there I stole these photos..







And for those of you who don't like reading, read on..
These top three were made by Tom Bendtsen. You can have a sneak round his site for the whole collection.



The next three below are all promotional images for Anagram Bookshop in Prague, by Kaspen.



And these ones, well these are just a mystery. I have no idea who rustled up these but they're too fancy to keep out of this section.

















And that was the 'I'll just leave you with this' part. Tomorrow, or even tonight when I get a second, I'm thinking of introducing some more goodies, mainly artsy fartsy things I've found out about. That's art, not farts!
