crosley record player
B:
Mama and I desperately want a new vinyl player, as we've got a whole box of records in the cupboard under the stairs that we'd like to play again. I also want to get some of my favourite albums on vinyl. I saw this LP player on Lily's blog and thought it looked quite cute. Some people have said the sound isn't too loud but I've got a teeny tiny room so it'd probably be perfect, and I can always buy speakers for it in the future.
instax mini 8
B:
I used to have a mini Diana film camera but it mysteriously disappeared. Odd. I'd love an Instax mini. I think they're great fun and I think it'd encourage me to take more personal snaps!
pale fire by vladimir nabokov
B: I read Nabokov's Lolita in February and fell in love with his writing style. I really want to read some more of Nabokov's works and I think I'd like to start with Pale Fire as it sounds fascinating. It's supposedly a 'darkly comic novel of suspense, literary idolatry, one-upmanship, and political intrigue'. Ooh! Have you read it? Let me know what you thought of it in the comments, if so.
fables graphic novel
L:
My brother got this for Christmas so I've been eyeing it up for a while now, along with other highly praised graphic novels such as Maus and Watchmen. Fables seems to have drawn quite a lot of attention over the years, as the love it or hate it TV series GRIMM is loosely based on it. The mightily interesting The Wolf Among Us video game by TellTale Games, which I have yet to play, was also inspired by it. So yeah, another graphic novel to my small but slowly evolving collection.
django unchained steelbook
L:
Yet another film I need to get Bee to watch! The film itself was pretty awesome and it has an eye catching design, so it's one of the next blu-ray steelbooks I want to add to my collection. It's a little hard to find these days due to it being out of production, so it'll no doubt set me back a fair few gold coins.
john snow and ghost funko pop figures
L:
Until a few weeks ago I had no idea what a Funko Pop figure was, then Bee got me one of Ace Ventura and unleashed what I fear could be the start of a very expensive collection. The two (you can't get one without the other when it comes to these two surely?!) I plan to add to my collection next hail from one of my favourite fantasy creations, Game of Thrones. Eventually I'm hoping to build Marvel, DC and Walking Dead collections too, with my Funko Pop characters being physical representations of the digital TV and film collections that don't have any fancy box-art to acknowledge their existence.
