Library haul! I trucked home these books:

1066 And All That
That Summer in Paris
Arsenic Under the Elms: Murder in Victorian New Haven
Christopher Marlowe: Poet and Spy
Poisoned LIves: English Poisoners and their Victims
The Saintly Politics of Catherine of Siena
(one of my thesis books, but I want a reread)
Wonderful Blood: Theology and Practice in Late Medieval Northern Germany and Beyond (this is Caroline Walker Bynum. I was also going to pick up Jesus as Mother but it wasn't on the shelf where it was supposed to be.

Also spent a gift certificate, buying book three and preordering book four of the Inspector Chen books, and I also picked up a copy of Gift of Fear since I see references to the thing everywhere and want to read it for myself.
