Since Thailand's second annual book expo started this week on October 18, I had a lot of new members to welcome to the family. I went two times already: on the 18th and today. And in three days I've taken in 9 fictions, 3 non-fictions (one is borrowed from one of my teachers), and 4 dictionaries. I also got accepted for 2 ARCs this week. Yay!
Fictions and Fairy Tales:
- Grimm's Fairy Tales by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Karl Grimm
- Andersen's Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen
- English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs
- Peter Pan & Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (Wordsworth Classics) by J.M. Barrie
I don't know what came over me lately. I just want to read a lot of fairy tales. - Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
- The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
I've actually read this before and loved it so much that every time I come across a pretty edition I have to buy it. - A Series of Unfortunate Events 2, 3, and 5 by Lemony Snicket in Thai translation
My collection is now complete!
Non-fictions:
- Deutschlandalbum by Axel Hacke
My teacher Ingo told me I might enjoy this. A German book about Germany. Sounds good. - What Not To Write by Kay Sayce
- On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King
Because my hardcover isn't very suited for carrying around.
ARCs:
- Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
- Uses for Boys by Erica Lorraine Scheidt
I'm currently reading:
- The Iron King by Julie Kagawa
I was accepted for The Lost Prince ARC, so I had to read the whole Iron Fey series first! So far so good. :)
I also got Eleanor & Park :) I read the first few pages and like it a lot!
ReplyDeleteAnd oh my god, how I love On Writing...

ReplyDeleteReally great group of books. Hope you enjoy them all. Old Follower.
ReplyDeleteIs Uses for Boys on Netgalley or something because everyone has it today and I want to get a copy lol. How are you liking Iron King? I didn't like it, but I hear the rest of the series gets better so I want to keep reading it. Plus I loved Julie Kagawa's Immortal Rules series! My STS/Sunday Post
