Better late than never, right...? *cough*
As you can see, I've been really good at sticking to my 2015 resolution of buying less books. Heh. I would point out that I only bought most of these as I came across them in charity shops but my February book haul is turning out to be just as bad as this one...
Anyway! I seemed to go a bit classics crazy in January. I'm currently reading Persuasion so I've bought the Penguin Clothbound version to replace my battered reading copy on my bookself. I also picked up The Hound of the Baskervilles to hopefully use in a reading challenge sometime this year as its pretty slim. It's one of those books that I've always been meaning to read as its set near where I live so it would be good to get this one crossed off my TBR soon. I was also excited to come across these near-perfect copies of Emma by Alexander McCall Smith and Lorna Doone by R.D. Blackmore in a charity shop. I believe Emma only came out a couple of months ago, it's a rewrite of Emma by Jane Austen and is set in the 21st century so I'm really looking forward to reading it. Along with Lorna Doone (which has such a pretty cover) I only paid £5 for the both of them! Gotta love charity book shops.
I also *had* to buy the beautiful Waterstones exlusive edition of The Miniaturist before it sold out. I mean, just how pretty?
