My weekends have been filled for a rather long time into the future. The only problem is to find enough free time to fill.
For one, I got a huge haul from this year's Big Bad Wolf sale.
Twenty-one books, of which two were bought for a friend (he wants to cultivate a reading habit... unlikely, but at least he might enjoy a few books in his lifetime :P )
The books for him are Jeffrey Archer (the thick book on top of the centre pile, which is actually a 2-in-1 combo, so it's not as scary as it looks) and Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach. I had already read all three stories before; Jeffrey Archer's I already have, and I actually thought I had James and the Giant Peach, but turned out I don't. So I told him, I'll read it before passing it to you. And I did, in one weeknight. :P Loved it all over again. :D
To add on to all those books, I received a gift from my cousin as part of a Pay-It-Forward initiative. It's where each person who receives a gift (you ask for it, so it is voluntary) is supposed to give a gift to five other people, who each in turn gives a gift to five other people.... you get the idea.
I have never heard of Kalkitos before this. Never heard of such a "toy" (I suppose you would call it a toy?) before. But it looks interesting... even though I haven't opened the wrapper yet. :s I've got to find some time to actually open the wrapper and go through it. I don't want to open it and look at it halfway...
So there you go. Weekends filled for at least four to five months to come. (and don't forget the other two books I bought recently...)
