I bought/acquired sixteen books in September. SIXTEEN. And this isn't even including the bookish presents that I recieved for my birthday at the end of the month. Oops. As you can imagine I'm going to be on book buying ban in October... Well, a partial one that is... ;)
There's so many things I could say about all of these books but I'm going to keep it short or else I think I'd end up writing an essay! I won this gorgeous pocket edition of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe from a giveaway on twitter. The Chronicles of Narnia were one of my favourite book series as a child (and still are!) so I was very excited to have won this beautiful edition.
I also bought The Gift, Let It Snow and Outlander to save for the Christmas and New Year period. I know Outlander isn't a Christmas-y book but we're visiting family in the countryside over New Year so I thought it would be the perfect book to snuggle up by the fire with. If you do have any Christmas-y book recommendations though, please send them my way!
With my student finance (I totally bought books with the money, so it's fine!) I also bought this lovely Penguin clothbound edition of Pride and Prejudice. I've been eyeing up these classics editions for a while and I decided to take the plunge! I'd definitely love to build up a collection of these in future.
What did you buy this month? Do you have any of these books?
I did the same in September. I bought about 10 !! I'm running out of room on my bookshelf ...
ReplyDeleteHaha, I swear you can become addicted! Luckily I got another bookshelf in September but I'm already about 5 books from running out of space again...!
DeleteThe only books I bought last month were uni books, which seem to be the most expensive books in the world! I really want to read To All The Boys I've Loved Before and A Little Something Different, so I may buy them as a birthday treat towards the end of this month!
ReplyDeleteAaw I completely know what you mean! Luckily we got eBooks this year but last year I had to spend so much money on textbooks! Hope you get some fiction books for you birthday! :) x
