Do you remember the post in which I was whining about how unreasonably expensive it would have been to order "The Terror of the Zygons" via the Bestsellers English bookshop? Well, things have changed to my advantage.

Two days ago I went back to the bookshop, determined to get the thing, no matter what it cost. And what happened? In the couple of months since l

... I'll also try to get myself this book and this book and this book, too.

Yes, I know they are specifically made the way that you have to buy all three of them to get the whole second Hobbit film covered. Especially presenting the dragon in a book of its own is shameless money-mongering. Considering that I absolutely hated the 2nd film, it seems insane to spend so much money on the artwork part of it, but actually the artwork is the really good part of it, and the Cloaks and Daggers part will be very good for my vocabulary.

It's my great regret that I bought the very first volume (Part 1 to the 1st film) in German cause I didn't think of the possibility of ordering it in original. All those wonderful terms and names and expressions re: the Dwarves clothing and tools and weapons, and I'll never have in English. Because buying the book twice would be a bit excessive, even for my Hobbit-related obsession. * le sigh*

Okay, I'll shut up here now. I actually managed to do some decent writing in the last couple of days, so I'll be busy typing everything up during the weekend and next week or so.
