    I'm in too!! Will hopefully start tonight or tomorrow.

    On another note, The Book People (who must LOVE me, I end up ordering at least 5 things from them every time they send me a booklet!!) had a collection of 10 children's books (age about 7 upwards) including Gobbolino The Witch's Cat which is one of the fondest memories of my childhood.

    Have been looking for it for a while (admittedly half-heartedly) but when I saw it was in that collection (all 10 books for £9.99) I got it! Anyone who is also part of the No More Buying Books.... thread please ignore this paragraph!! You DID. NOT. SEE. THIS!!! :o

    Can't WAIT to start on it - quite a contrast from Mockingbird it will be too!!

    I remember vividly the pink cover with the pencil drawn little black cat on - and his sister Sootica - I actually insisted people called me Sootica for a few weeks when I first read it as a child!! :D
