What books have you bought recently?
I actually only got 2 books for xmas this year. Kind of strange. But I will get some gifts from people on new years from people I havent seen before so fingers crossed.
The books I got was a norwegian book about women who changed norway and a book about norwegian litterature history.

I rarely get books for Christmas from my family, but this year I did get one book!
When my parents I were in Iowa City this summer, we went to see an author at their AMAZING independent bookstore, Prairie Lights. My mom and I are huge GWTW fans, and we saw this edition and thought it was so cool! We'd never seen it before. Well, when I wasn't looking, they bought this for me for Christmas!!! They are so sweet :) And know me so well!

I also got a Secret Santa swap gift from a book group I'm in. I received a ton of goodies, and the books I got were :
I really wanted both! Already read Holly Chase, it was so cute!
Then I got a huge Book Outlet haul

All of that was $37!!!
And I just placed another Book Outlet order! They are having a great Boxing Day sale! I'll post those books when I get them (sometimes they get sold out and you don't always get the books you ordered)

Its so awesome when you look at them all together like that!!! I couldn't believe my stack as well! I'm hoping I can get them all read this year, but we'll see I guess!
Some were books I had already read, but a few I want to reread. I have 49 books total. I have 44 left to read, including the rereads!

One of my book groups on Facebook is doing a readalong with that and Wonder Woman on Wednesday. I just happened to see it at Target, SIGNED, so had to grab it! The readalong was my excuse to splurge LOL!
John Green books were all on sale, so I grabbed Katherines (never read it), and I just adored Claudia Gray's last Star Wars book I read (Leia), and they happened to have Lost Stars in paperback. SCORE!
So super happy with my purchases :)
