This challenge comes from Bookish Comforts and the idea is to fill your basket at The Book Depository as if you had $100 to shop for. Not the hardest of tasks. I started with a few titles I’ve mentally noted as «will look for in London» and then added more from my Pinterest board «Books I like the look of» which I use as a reminder board for books I read about on other blogs, mostly.
Tell the Wolves I’m Home has been widely mentioned as a favourite from last year by some of my favourite Swedish bookbloggers. Goodbye for Now sounds intriguing and Whisky from Small Glasses? Well, it’s a whisky book. Gotta have it.
Little Brother because I’ve been meaning to read something by Cory Doctorow for a long time. A Little House Traveler because Laura Ingalls Wilder’s writing is pretty wonderful. Wolven because it sounds like fun.
The Wolves in the Walls showed up when I searched for Tell the Wolves I’m Home and is Gaiman, so that was added on impulse. Here, There be Dragons I meant to save until the series was complete, but whatever. This is Where I Leave You… Well, I’ve been meaning to read Tropper and this one is being made into a film to be released this year, I think, so it fits with one of the points in the Kaosutfording.
And finally We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves because Doctorow reccommended it on Twitter and it sounds readable. That is my only preorder. And the total comes to just under $100. I think I did good.
