There’s a newish one by Ibbotson that’s been on the shelf at the library where I work, and I’ve had my eye on it for a while. But I really have to pare down the number of books on my library card first! I can control myself. Honestly… šŸ™‚

Well, it is of course, and then also because I was on vacation I felt like it was okay to buy zillions of books. šŸ˜› And thanks again for the recommendation – this may be my most favorite of Eva Ibbotson’s books!

I always feel a bit worried when someone spends money and time on a book based on my recommendation. But honestly, who wouldn’t love this book?! Sounds like London is book-buying heaven. šŸ™‚

Of her fantasy books, I like Which Witch the best; but if I were going to recommend a good book to start with, I’d say Journey to the River Sea.

I bought loads more books today! It’s a sickness. Tomorrow I’m going to the Book & Comic Exchange, and the South Bank book stalls, and after that I’m not even going to look at a book (in the, you know, one day after that before we head home).

Yes, London is terrible for book buying. But that’s part of its charm šŸ˜€
