I may have gone a little overboard with the book-buying this month.
Okay, maybe a lot overboard. Still, no regrets!
I hadn't bought a single book in the month of October, unless you count We All Looked Up, which was a belated birthday present from one of my secondary school best friends. I guess that makes my November purchases acceptable? :p
A closer look at the books, and where I got them...

I didn't even get to spend much time here because I was with my other half and he kept rushing me (": It was also pretty late by the time we got there anyway.
