The allure of the vouchers was too much: I bought
- Dostoyevsky's The Brothers Karamazov -- which I have wanted to read for a while after positive comments from friends: and I have a suspicion it will keep me going for a while: a rather large novel
- Jour de fête -- never heard of it, but it caught my eye when browsing the World DVD section and it looked like fun
- Night Silence Desert -- again, never heard of it, but I felt like broadening my music samplings
I did get quite large savings -- 50%, 15% and 30% off respectively -- which was nice: what was rather amusing was that not only will I receive a 20% discount voucher via e-mail, but I was given another set of 5 discount vouchers! Unfortunately while my heart said "Yes", my bank account said "No". :)
On book matters: the WISE gift I am to send has been selected from the bookshelves: I shall attempt to find a postcard with a local scene Saturday and send it off then. The WISE parcel I received is sitting next to me now, demanding to be opened: but I shall wait until I send mine.
