lots of instructions

Exclusive Books is having its summer sale, and some unsung hero in the Cavendish branch has gone and cleaned out the back room for sf and fantasy. Today I scored Robin McKinley's Sunshine for thirty bucks, which is a Good Omen of somethingorother, I've been dying for a copy. I really recommend this one, it's a fascinating take on vampires and a really, really interesting world. They had lots of Sunshine, as well as several copies of McKinley's Beauty, Diana Wynne Jones's Tough Guide to Fantasyland, Jasper Fforde's Something Rotten, which is the best one of his I've read, lots of the kids' Terry Pratchett, Charles Stross's Singularity Sky in hardback (trippy and fun), and the third one in Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle, although I don't have the first two yet (*watches Amazon wishlist grow to mutant monster proportions with a certain apprehension*). Anyway, Cheap Books R Us, Capetonians. Get ye down there and spend surprisingly little for stonkloads of literary weight.

I must be learning something vaguely approaching self-discipline. Look'n'Listen had a whole bunch of early Eurythmics CDs that I only have on tape, in imported special editions with lots of bonus tracks, and I was so torn between buying one of the possible four that I didn't buy any. Revenge? Savage? Touch? What to choose! (I find it somewhat telling that their reunion album is called Peace, suggesting a slight failure of edge somewhere along the line).

In other news, the bonus material on the Serenity DVD is tres cool, lovely interviews, blooper reel and behind-the-scenes footage. That Nathan Fillion, he's a clown. Did I mention that it's out in video stores in CT? It's out in video stores :>. Go ye forth and watch.
