“I’m gonna
go into the bookshop but just to browse. I don’t intend to buy anything”, said
no reader ever. I just can’t help myself. I have a problem but it is okay
because it’s mine only – well, and also my parents’ and sisters’, who are going
to be one day buried under all the books... but that isn’t really a horrible
fate now, I think :P
So, as you can guess today I have another book haul. Both
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
editions have been on my radar for a while and once the one designed by Anna Bond
came out I placed my order. But of course I took the opportunity to add some
more books to my collection: The Brontë Series published by Vintage Classics
and two titles by Salt (
Jen Campbell is to blame for these ones since she's constantly praising Salt). The rest of
them I got when I went to Pasajes looking for
A Wild Swan and Other Tales by Michael Cunningham. This will
most likely be my last book haul in a
while. I might be travelling to Ireland next February to visit a friend working
as an au pair there and I wanna save most of my money for that. Fingers crossed
I can actually build enough willpower to get me through the next three tortuous
months of not buying books.
