I just had to buy lots and lots of books for uni... All about French government, culture, language, geography, politics, etc.

I had two hours to kill between classes and unfortunately the uni here is located in the city centre. So I bought The Behaviour of Moths by Poppy Adams. I think I´ll have worked my way through my wishlist until my birthday. . .which is in November!

The Incredible Journey by Sheila Burnford--it's one of the books I'll have to teach next semester during student teaching. It might seem like an easy read for high school, but it's for the freshmen who read below grade-level
Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher--it's a young adult book I bought with b-day money my grandparents sent. My English Methods teacher recommended it and usually he makes pretty good recommendations

I just brought Paradise Lost by John Miton and The Rape of the Lock by Alexander Pope because I'm trying to read more poetry.

Alice James: A Biography by Jean Strouse. My professor told me to get it for my thesis, and I love every excuse to buy a new book!

I haven't officially paid for them yet, but I've got the two last books from the Thursday Next series and one of the sookie stackhouse books, but I forgot the title..
