A Casual Vacancy
Sep. 26th, 2012 06:13 pmLast week or so I cleared out my handbag. There's lots of different sections in my bag, although it is a relatively small one, because I like to keep things orderly and separated. I hate rummaging around for hours. A place for everything and everything in its place - that's me.
Then I noticed a little section with a zipper that I normally never use. I looked there, too.
And I found a booktoken for 15 Euro.
Today I went to our local department store, and to reach the tights, you have to go through the book section and the shoes section. They're cruel, cunning, Slytherin marketeers at that store.
I did not buy the shoes. Looked great, but the heels just that little bit to high to work on a day of teaching.
In the book section, however, I saw the display (a very modest and easy-to-overlook one, btw) for JKR's A Casual Vacancy. There it was, in shiny hardback. Price 18,95 Euro.
Basically, that means it costs me 3,95, right?
So yes.
I did it.
Now I need to find a shop that does decent deals on time.
