I went to the bookstore today, and scored a huge haul. (This is why I do not allow myself to go to the bookstore very often. I have an eidetic memory when it comes to book titles, and WANT EVERYTHING.)

So here is what I bought:



Historical murder mystery! And dat cover! -- read! ☆☆☆☆



It's about Hillary Clinton and her friends in college! Girl power!



I'm a sucker for books about academia. And I think this one won a prize of some sort. Also the cover is pretty, and I accidentally let my netgalley galley expire, so...COME TO MAMA.

Hey! It's that guy! The one who was famous for writing That Book! You know, the one about the holocaust! The one that made everyone cry?



I hear this one pretty much kicks ass.



Less sure about this one. It's a retelling of The Scarlet Letter, which I did not like. But he's supposed to be super amazing, so maybe I'll fall in love with the story through new eyes.



I hear this author is one of those queered feminism writers, and I am all for supporting that, so here we go! (Is she like Jeanette Winterson?)



Because vampires.

I like vampires.



Now I really have no excuse for NOT starting The Crimson Petal and the White. (Except for the fact that I have no idea where the fuck it is, but we'll worry about that later.)



My friend gave me this book. She didn't like it but she thought I might. And because of the new cover, I had no idea that it was actually a book I've had on my TBR list FOREVER. Friends are awesome like that.



Supposedly it's like LOVELY BONES. I need no further persuading.



I just focused on the words "murder" and "Quentin Tarantino" and zoned out.

This is what happens when I get into what I call The Frenzy.



HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!! I LOVE CONSPIRACY STORIES. This one will be sooooo fun. (It's so hard to find this book! But now IT'S MINE!!! MIIIIIINE!!)



Something to cheer me up when I finish reading conspiracy theories about Scientology and biological warfare. (That was what I got last haul--two books about bioweapons and a shitton of feminist propaganda. Lord knows, that bookstore probably thinks I'm some sort of femiterrorist.)



Yay! Art and historical fiction!



This was the first election that I ever voted in, and now it's history! I helped make history!!!! AND NOW I GET TO READ ABOUT IT! OH YES! HOT DIGGITY!



Because I loved Gone with the Wind, and I also own RHETT BUTLER'S PEOPLE, but I heard this one was better. And also, who doesn't love a big bloated behemoth of a book? -- currently reading!



She wrote bodice rippers. I want to see what her regency romance novels are like.



I read and enjoyed GROTESQUE. Something about these Japanese novels is just so addictive. They're like wandering through a dream that suddenly turns into an existential nightmare. LOVE IT.



One of my sadistic readers begged me to review a Glines book because they were sure I'd hate it. HAHAHAA! WHAT IF I LOVE IT, BITCHES? WHAT THEN?

Anyway, I finally saw a copy surface at ye olde used book store, so I figured, what the fuck. It's only $1. People pay a lot more to be professionally tormented, so $1 is pretty cheap, economically speaking.

It looks...interesting. I think this is the first new adult book I'll have ever read in paperback form. :)

So...now here's where I ask you:

WHAT SHOULD I READ FIRST?

CAST YOUR VOTE!

I went a little crazy today... >_>

So the million dollar question is, WHAT DO I READ FIRST?!?!?!
