I should clarify. I've finished purchasing the books I plan to finish this year. See how I'm doing in December before congratulating me. :-)

I love buying books in charity shops, they're cheap, they're near..."

I liked the latter novel, still to read the former.

While me and my boyfriend were walking around the neighborhood, we accidently stumbled onto a street book sale. Books for $1 or $2. Better than Strand, I tell you!! Within a minute I found a book I've always wanted to read and have, because I simply am in love with the movie - The Notebook; and a book that has been catching my eye on this website - The Joy Luck Club. Both very good conditioned paperbacks, all for 2 bucks! Mind you, some of the books there were pretty much new. Guess who's gonna be the new all-time customer? :)

I just bought Storm Frontby Jim Butcher the other day

Wolf Hall
The Truth-Teller's Lie
Dark Road to Darjeeling
Adam & Eve

Frankenstein
The Call of the Wild and White Fang
Moby-Dick
The Given Day

Those are some good finds! Where did you shop?
