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 BenderOrangers Are Not the Only Fruit by Jeanette WintersonPossession by A. S. ByattMy Ántonia by Willa CatherGood Behaviour by Molly KeaneA Partisan’s Daughter by Louis de BernièresThe Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey NiffeneggerDoctor 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*
