Ooh, I'm jealous! But on the other hand, my own TBR pile is about to knock me unconscious!

Fantastic haul! I always feel better buying books also.
I don't think I ordered Roses of Glory but I have all the others, I hope to get to them sometime this fall. Question: On your Marc Morris book, is the title page signed? I can't tell if mine is a photocopy or an original.
Also saw Dickon there, would love to hear how you like that one.
What a pile there!
=) Good hunting!

It's true, buying books always improves my mood! I have copies of many of those (same covers, too!) but not all.

WOWZA! Jackpot! I also bought books this week to make me forget the fact that I didn't get any in the mail! Enjoy your new additions!

Wowser! That's quite the load of books. I buy books when I'm not feeling well too. It's especially easy when you can buy them online. I just finished Mistress of Rome and it was great.
