Yesterday I went to the new bookstore in City Center Mall. Due to the astonishing paucity of bookstores in Doha, the opening of a new one -- in a mall, no less -- was cause for much celebration.

Unfortunately, the selection is rather small and extremely haphazard. The best moment was when I wandered into the travel section and found this:



(For the uninitiated, Lancre is a fictional location from Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels.)

(My toes aren't really purple. Weird cell phone camera.)

A little shop in Villagio, with a French name and big anime signs -- I forget the name though.

Thanks for the nail polish compliment -- that means a lot, coming from you. :-D

Yeah, but I keep forgetting to ask the hubby if he's coming, so I haven't wanted to RSVP yet. :-)

Yesyes! I've just spent part of the afternoon trying to remember my password so I can log into QBB to RSVP officially, but so far no luck. :-/ How embarrassing.
