On Wednesday(my only free time- i have been cooped up in my room for like 168 hours) we went to this second-hand store that sells almost anything and we've bought loads of stuff. I went to the part where they sell old toys and I found that thing above(except it was full of charcoal-I think-has not leaf). I absolutely liked it because I thought it was cute(and I collect Matryoshka things). When I asked the girl how much she said it was like only for 10! so I asked mum to buy it for me and she was like "Can we get this for free?" to the saleslady and what luck she the lady agreed! I named her Pipey and she guards my books(I decorated her in the bookshelf-sometimes the Christmas tree). Also bought Beyond the Grave(Must.Not.Think.Of.Ian-Amy) and just finished it this morning(I'm planning to buy The Black Circle with my Christmas money). Like the other books it was good but some parts of it lost me. I'm interested to read Flipped by Wendeline Van Draanen(twas recommended by my friend), Read though not Buy because not really into the mushy-mushy type of stuff(and if someone gives it as a gift). I borrowed Anne of Green Gables and well I think it's overdue for like 3 weeks(NO I CANNOT WASTE MONEY ON OVERDUE!) and I was pretty excited because the library bought a dozen of YA books(like Charlotte's web-planning to borrow, Percy Jackson-have,Diary of a Wimpy Kid-have and a bunch of others) but I can't if I don't pay the overdue which plaintively sucks. I almost forgot: HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
