Fairytales FTW

After the traume of Anna Karenina, I've spent my wee holiday at my parent's reading trash to give me my confidence back.  Haha.  Though, today, I was very pleased to start and finish Beauty and the Beast.  Now, most people my age will remember the Disney film version, which - I have to say - is a bit of better story.  

What did make my day though, was that Beauty and the Beast took about five full minutes to read.  Literally.  I hadn't been aware the original tale was more of the fairy- than the classic- variety, but I'm not complaining.  I earned a tick with minimum effort expended.  Hurrah!

I've plenty photo's to show you too, but not time to upload them just now (we're off to a gig tonight) so you can get them in a separate post.  Aren't you lucky?  Meanwhile, I've new classics downloaded to my Kindle app, only £17 left on my credit card (hello, imminent tick once I get paid) and I'm halfway through Season 2 of 24.  

Not quite at my 25% target for being almost a quarter of the way through the year (only at 23.5%), but I blame that on Anna.  If she wasn't such an awful read I'd be much further ahead.  I'm bracing myself though... there's Ulysses to get through yet...
