presents in the post!

i love it when we get little packages in the post and this week we've received three! for christmas my uncle gave me an amazon voucher (yay!) so i ordered 2 books (thanks uncle paul!).
the patti smith book i can't wait to read, i love her music and its about a time in her life before her rise to fame. the mari strachan book i know nothing about but it was chosen by my friend lex as our next book for book group, so i'm looking forward to reading that too.
last night i just finished reading lucky jim by kingsley amis (it was published in 1954). i have to say, i loved it. i was properly laughing out loud which i didn't expect. very funny!
my lovely friend sharron sent me a pair of knee high socks in the post this week. look how cute the velvet ribbon around the top is!
and the third package i need to go and collect today from the post office. kev's christmas present has FINALLY arrived. where on earth its been (i ordered it on 1st December) i have no idea but i'm just so happy that its not lost. i'll show you what it is once kev has opened it tomorrow night! (you could say its more a present to 'us'. ha).

    that took a while :)
    i read snippets from the book and not sure i liked it. it was featured in gUARDIAN.....she seems somewhat stuck up?!?! but erm....i probably should not say that. Lucky Jim is just great.
