I got my hands on more books than I expected to this month. Most were from local bookstores, three were given to me by friends, two were e-books from Amazon, and one was from Book of the Month. As much as I could I tried to balance getting books that are on my TBR lists and new titles I hadn’t heard of that piqued my curiosity.
It’s hard to decide what to read first, but I’m most excited for 2666 by Roberto Bolaño, Delicious! by Ruth Reichl, and Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh.

I think it is an interesting collection of books. I have read Bad Feminist which I loved, We should all be feminist, Me before you, and Carry On. I am currently reading The Night Circus and I’m loving every section of it 😄😄 All of them are fun books.
