Three to get deadly, by Janet Evanovich. I don't plan on reading the whole series, but they're good books to read when you're in the mood for something light

I bought The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler for 49 crowns (~ 4-5$). I didn't even know, that it had been translated into Estonian let alone the fact that it's on sale. I think I have to start visting that book store more often.

I just came home with a pile of books... Damn you mom for wanting to visit every fleemarket in the region. And for paying my books these cost about 2 euros a piece.. I don't know if I ever have the time to read all the unread books on my shelves.. But this is what I found: The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris (new) PostMortem by Patricia Cornwell (new) Equinox by Michael White The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernieres Marley and Me by John Grogan (new) Dewey: A Small Town, a Library and the World's Most Beloved Cat by Vicky Myron with Bret Witter My boyfriend already promised me to take me to this used books' fair in the city, but after seeing all my purchases I think he will say NO MORE BOOKS...

That is one amazing book list. I want to buy that many books. Haha. I bought The Thirteenth Tale and The Devil in the White City a few days ago. They had Catch-22 as well but I got these two because my mom was buying them for me. I like when Sam's Club has the books on my TBR list.

So, I got the Kindle for my birthday and ended buying books already. I got The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, the 9th Series of Unfortunate Events book, The Iliad, and 32 novels and short stories by Jules Verne. It was all really cheap actually. I'm excited to read them on it.

I brought too few books with me on vacation, so, sadly, I had to buy another one. I bought The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver.

That happened to me on my last vacation - I wouldn't say it was a sad situation though, seemed like the perfect excuse to get a new book I just bought a new edition of The Diary of Anne Frank

I bought A Capote Reader by Truman Capote (collection of novellas, short stories and travel essays) and The Chrysalids by John Wyndham today. Really looking forward to The Chrysalids after I enjoyed The Day of the Triffids so much, and of course I love Capote.
