Just thought I'd make that clear. I was joyous at the weekend after I spotted the Waterstones sale - 99p books! You can't go wrong. I sifted through a big pile pretty thoroughly because I didn't want to miss any gems.
[EDIT] Duh, forgot to say the best bit! Not only were they only 99p but I found a 6 month old book voucher in my purse and used that. So there were actually free. Clearly I got over-excited and forgot to mention that!
I came away with five books. Lucia Victrix by EF Benson, Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet (which I've already read but I bought it for Tom, it's very good), Cuckoo by Julia Crouch, Map of Time by Felix Palma and a Martina Cole.
I've just finished reading Cuckoo today and it's very good, about a woman who lets her best friend stay and then her life starts to go awry!
Last week I also read Men I've Loved Before by Adele Parks which was pretty good and The Snowman by Jo Nesbo - terrifying! I'm not sure whether I'm getting more wimpy or it was actually scary, but it's a good read. I read another chick-lit book as well but it's fallen out of my mind already, I'm terrible for that.
I bought three dresses from Dorothy Perkins recently, I got all three for £38 with the sale and my NUS card, bargain. Here are a couple of them:
I'm not going to do a big list of stuff I got for Christmas but there'll be loads of new stuff popping up in the next few posts. Although I am doing a full post of the package I got from La Dama from the FHCS Christmas Present swap because it was bloody amazing and so thoughtful. Also coming soon; 2012, the year of the hat?
And to finish:

Love this post...mainly because it contains my two favourite things - books and dresses! I've read quite a fair bit of Adele Parks, and always rather enjoyed her writing
The second dress is definitely my favourite...such a sucker for a bit of polka dotted dress, and the red with the mustard is such a great colour combo. Fab!
And lastly, that woman speaks such wise words...to be truly happy sometimes requires one to be quite intoxicated indeed!!
I'm already planning a trip to Waterstones now! I love it when they have a sale, you got some great bargains.
The polka dot dress is so lovely, they really suit you xxx
You look fabulous in polka dots, I always look silly.
I really need to buy some new books too.

Looks like you grabbed some right bargains! Love cheap books, really begrudge spending £6-7 on a book hence why I hunt them down in charity shops.
Loving the dotty P dresses, you always have the prettiest dresses!

Hurrah for bargain books, and I am loving the polka dots x
What bargains amor! I especially love your polka dot frock.
Oooo you better prostitute yourself up!

love your polka dot dress, it's going to look great in all seasons. I loved Pillars of the Earth on tv last year and my hubby read the book before that.
omg, free books! The polka dot dress is lovely too, although you always look lovely :) Map of time sounds really good! xx
