My list is shorter than yours, zelda! Really shorter: The Posthumous Papers Of The Pickwick Club by Charles Dickens The Journals Of Sylvia Plath Tutti al Mare by Michele Serra Fear And Trembling by Amelie Nothomb (I gave it to my cousin for her birthday, so it's not MY purchase properly...)
These are the books I've bought until now, but I'm planning to go shopping tomorrow and I will probably buy some books.
