Today's fortune:
You are going to have some new clothes.
What really happened:
I bought two second-hand out-of-print Georgette Heyer books. The last time I bought these two, 'My Lord John' and 'Bath Tangle' I lent them to my mother. That was a couple of years ago, so I thought I should buy myself a copy again. Besides, they were $4 each, in damn good condition considering they were the 1967 and 1977 editions, respectively, and ex-library books, and I'll reread them every time I feel like some well written light historical romance. The characters have life, three dimensions, are not always even pretty, but are always interesting, with motives appropriate to the time they're set in.
Besides, it's almost impossible to find any second-hand Georgette Heyer here, and when Pan Books sold the publishing rights only about a quarter to a third of the range is available new. So I should get them while I can on the grounds that those books will not still be there by close of business.
