Not pictured: Madame Bovary. I'm reading it, duh!
Hello, my name is Book Club Babe, and I’m a book addict. In a last ditch attempt to covet as many books as possible, I bought ten books this week–a personal record, I think. But I always fall back on the same justifications: There was an insane sale, and I need them!
So here’s the breakdown:
Amazon.com (TOTAL = $31.35):
- Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
- Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald
- Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card
- 1984 by George Orwell
Borders (TOTAL = $15.07):
- The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton
- Selected Tales by Edgar Allan Poe
- A Desirable Residence by Madeleine Wickham
Fresno Country Library Book Sale (TOTAL = $1!!!):
- The Awakening and Selected Short Fiction by Kate Chopin
- Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
- Art of Love by Ovid (with original Latin!)
GRAND TOTAL: 10 books for $47.42!!!
I’m currently reading Madame Bovary, but I’ve already read the books I got at the library book sale–they’re just for my personal collection. I’d also like to note that all but one are literary classics, so it’s, you know, intellectual splurging. I know it will probably take me all year and then some to finish my new books, but what can I say? There was an insane sale, and I need them!
PS: Happy 13th Birthday to my black Labrador Bubba! I love you more than books!!!
