Whilst I do still prefer paper books for many reasons I’ve come to the conclusion that ebooks are just so much more convient for reading on the bus. So there’s a fair few ebooks in this edition and I’m trying to use NetGalley a bit more. Although I’m going to have to start highlighting character and place names because they are so harder to find when you can’t flick through a book!

I also got a lovely special edition of The Shepherd’s Crown (sniff). It is literally sparkly. I haven’t read it yet as I’ve been suffering from the lurgy and didn’t want to sneeze all over its loveliness. I also pre-ordered a special edition of the new Patrick Ness, but as I opted to pick that one up in store, I haven’t had a chance to go see if it’s there yet. Has anyone else not been getting Waterstones dispatch emails?
