New books, i.e. the damage done by shopping with this girl, and a couple from a separate visit with this girl. There’s also a couple missing, a flipback of Jasper Fforde’s Shades of Grey and a book I’ll share in a separate post.
The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender
Orangers Are Not the Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson
Possession by A. S. Byatt
My Ántonia by Willa Cather
Good Behaviour by Molly Keane
A Partisan’s Daughter by Louis de Bernières
The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
Doctor Zhvigao by Boris Pasternak (translated by Peaver & Volokhonsky)
It’s all good though because Waterstone’s has been awesome recently and every single one of these was bought marked down! And they’re all ones I wanted (although My Ántonia was because Chloe not-so-gently nudged me toward it). I’ve been wanting the Peaver & Volokhonsky translation of Zhvigao for ages. The Niffenegger is because it’s a beautiful edition of a book I love, and was marked down outrageously. The de Bernières was 99p! The rest were all half off. *book dance party*

If by ‘nudged’ you mean ‘screamed at it’, then yes.
