Whew!! Yes, patience is a virtue when thrifting. Sounds like a good book to put on my list. I loved the interview. I asked O if he knew The Charlatans and he seemed to recall them.

Sometimes I have to remind myself that some things become popular for a reason, and if I avoid anything popular, I might actually be missing out (though that's rarely the case).

I have become much more patient about waiting to find things I want to read at the thrift shop instead of buying them new. I managed to acquire the Keith Richards' autobiography that way, which was a very entertaining read, and a biography of Leonard Cohen.<br /><br />I am a big fan of Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, and Mad Men (although less so in the later seasons). My other recent faves have been Wentworth (Australian drama set in a women's prison) and HBO's Westworld.Forest City Fashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428940427287921203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-35987372251506736632016-11-27T19:04:58.782+00:002016-11-27T19:04:58.782+00:00mwahaha, love love love your outfit, and those sle...mwahaha, love love love your outfit, and those sleeves!! ohhh, I'm loving them too!!

I'm a public libraries heavy user, and don't buy more than two or three books a year, so I don't worry about what's being hyped. I also laughed to tears when read Caitlin Moran's book, she's brilliant describing that not-very-glamourous atmosphere where all we grow up and those all-men times at work!<br />besosSeƱora Allnuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01403540346998939207noreply@blogger.com
