Squee! Huzzah! Hooray! With stuff on top! :D!

Yes, there is call for all those exclamation points.

I finally got to that Bookstore of Awesomesauce, and while it is terribly sad that it is closing down, this also means a deluge of Low Low Prices.

For thirty-two dollars (CDN), I got the following Doctor Who books (here in Canada, I've never seen them anywhere!):

- The Inferno novelisation!
- The Mind of Evil novelisation!
- St. Anthony's Fire (in the New Adventures line)
- Nightshade (in the New Adventures line)
- Birthright (in the New Adventures line)
- Shadowmind (in the New Adventures line)
- The Highest Science (in the New Adventures line)
- Transit (in the New Adventures line)
- The Pit (in the New Adventures line)
- Toy Soldiers (in the New Adventures line)

Huzzah, thought I! Ten new Doctor Who novels (and yes, I was limiting myself - there were plenty others out there).

And then I went to the main desk, and the owner set a pile of books on the table, and they were all Doctor Who novels. So I delayed the lineup and squinted at them, and delightedly picked out two more awesome, awesome finds that had me in a puddle of squee:

- Island of Death (Yay, adventure with Sarah Jane and the Brig and the Third Doctor!)
- The Left-Handed Hummingbird (No explanation necessary - woohoo!)

Am very much looking forward to reading them all in rapid succession studying very, very hard and being conscientious and, um. *runs off to read*

NEAT!!

Isn't it, though? Can't believe the place is shutting down before I'll have another chance to go there...

Maybe I'll pop over on Friday (the day before it closes for good) and see if I can wheedle my way into stealing the rest of them. :D

*Jaw Drop*

I am very, very jealous. I have been to every second-hand bookstore I know of, and have only ever found a pittance of them. And then it was mostly novelisations. *Plots to steal them hope you don't mind ;)*

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Heehee! I was absolutely blown away when I saw them - I mean, Canada is not exactly Doctor Who central - and was equally amazed when I discovered I didn't have enough money to buy them all. Must return before the store closes down on Saturday!

*Plots to steal them hope you don't mind ;)*

Mine, all mine! *hoards* :D

Congratulations, lucky woman. :) Looks like one magnificent pile of purchases.

Oh, I wish I would find a bookstore like that. Have fun reading! :D

Ooh, Nightshade and Left-Handed Hummingbird! Two of the first Who novels I read, and still two of the best, IMHO. Enjoy! :)

The Pit should be approached with caution, though...

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

I read Nightshade a while back and found it extremely enjoyable. I'm glad to have a copy of my very own!

And re: The Pit - oh, dear. I should've done my research before going, probably - I was just in a fit of squee and picked up the ones nearest to me. ;)

Squee indeed! You hit the motherlode! :D

[drox.livejournal.com]

So happy for you! You are one lucky fan.

If you're like me you're going to want to re-read "Hummingbird" and "Transit" over and over again. Brain-benders, those, and worth every second of extra time spent going 'huh?'.

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Excellent! I'm really looking forward to these - just started on "Hummingbird", and it is indeed awesome. :D
