Somehow, I went absolutely ham with buying books last month. I don’t think it’s an egregiously high number, all things considered, but it was enough to make me procrastinate writing this post. I didn’t mean to indulge myself this much, I just wound up having too many opportunities to pick up new books at decent prices. I’m once again concerned I forgot one or two, but I do believe all of the are presented below.

Let’s see the damage, shall we? I’m seriously running out of places to put these things.Read More »

Well, I haven’t left this post too terribly late this month, but I probably should’ve had it up last week. I just felt the itch for other things, I suppose. The only other source of hesitation is the belief that I’m once again forgetting some book or other that I purchased and just hefted onto the pile. I’m pretty confident that I got everything, though. It’s a weird month, because despite the number of books, it feels like I didn’t actually get very many.

Let’s see just what the heck I’m talking about.Read More »

I have no idea what has come over me this past month or so, but I somehow managed to procrastinate writing this post into oblivion, such that I’ll likely be writing another one of these next week, unless I fall into the mental trap again.

Enough dwelling on mistakes, let’s check out these books.Read More »

I know it wasn’t just me, but goodness January felt like it lasted much too long. So long, in fact, that I could’ve sworn I had already posted about one of the new books included in this post today. I actually had to cross-reference with when I wrote down somewhere else that I’d finally gotten it to confirm. I think reading Moby-Dick honestly had the most to do with the protracted time for me, along with the dreary cold of the season.

I think I talk about time too much, when really this is about these new books.Read More »

December was a weird month because once again I feel like I’m forgetting something, and I feel as if I did a lot more shopping for myself than was actually the case, so I keep thinking the stock I’ve taken of my books is wrong. This isn’t helped by the fact that I actually did forget a book in November, busy month that that one was. All I can say for sure is, I didn’t get any books for Christmas, so I’m not carelessly forgetting a gift.

Enough waffling, let’s see these books.Read More »

In contrast to October, where I would perhaps expect a little more indulgence, I went ham this past month. Part of it was just thanks to a personal boon, but I let myself get a little carried away at thrift shops too.

Let’s see what I’ve picked up.Read More »
