LOL yes, that would be great! I heard there is a Buffy re-make on the way. I wish they wouldn't do that.

Just started Victoria The Queen: An Intimate Biography of the Woman Who Ruled an Empire which is one of the December/January reads for the GR non-fiction group. I didn't realise until I bought it that the author is an Australian, Julia Baird. So far it's proving to be a fascinating read.

I just got a notification from the library that the ebook of Gone Girl was in for me, so I downloaded it to my ipad, only to find it was in Swedish...

I picked up Button Man by Andrew Gross as a freebie from my library.

I double-checked that it really should be on the 'free to a good home' shelf and was told, yes, it's a duplicate. It's pristine!
