At least I'm well stocked for vacations?
I'm so shameless, really.
Last Thursday, I bought the books 2-4 of the Percy Jackson series. That bookstore only trades paperbacks, and it seems the The Last Olympian is still in hard cover only. I still could've ordered it, but it's twice the price than each of the others and it's all sold out. Thus, I'm pretty much forced to wait. 8D Thing is,taotrooper and countlessuntruths said The Battle of the Labyrinth ends in a cliffhanger. O joy.
Today, when I went to my writing workshop, there was the presentation of a book called Una zarigüeya en mi mochila, that's pretty much what it says on the tin: the story of a girl who has a possum in her backpack. Sounded cute and fun, so I bought it and I got it signed. :D
I also bought:
* The Little Bear Book by Anthony Browne. The cuteness. It killed me.
* The Mysteries of Harris Burdick by Chris Van Allsburg. I'd been wanting a copy of my own for a while.
* Maniática de la explicación by Adriana Falcão, which is about a girl who wants to explain everything. Many of her definitions are quite lovely and poetic.
And, a friend borrowed me a book about censorship in children's and YA's literature by Argentinian author Sandra Comino.
On the plus side, I finished Slaughterhouse-five last night and I loved it. But I need to let it sink in a little before I can comment properly on it.
PS. My neighbors still have the worst musical taste ever. :|
