Book haul
Over September I aquired 10 books and a comic and short graphic novel. I was planning to buy less this month (as usual, haha), but it is not too bad since I actually had a very good reading month and ended up reading more than I bought! The books I bought this month are:
- The New Ghost by Robert Hunter
- The Fall of Icarus by Ovid (A Little Black Classic)
- Mansfield Park by Jane Austen in the beautiful Vintage Classic edition that matches by copies of Persuasion and Sense & Sensibility.
- Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins (I loved the Hunger Games and I've been meaning to read something else by Collins)
- James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl
- Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl
- Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
- Picture me Gone by Meg Rosoff
- Wild Magic by Cat Weatherill
- North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell (I really want to watch the BBC mini series, but I wanted to read the book first!)
- Angelfall by Susan Ee
- The Flash Volume 1: Move Forward by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato
Reading
This month I finally finished reading a book in Swedish that took me about a year to finish, because I only read a couple of pages each time I picked it up again. I'm pretty proud of myself for actually finishing the 600 page book. Eventhough I can read Swedish, it goes pretty slow... But practice makes perfect, so I should just read more in Swedish to improve. I do think the next book I will pick up in Swedish will be slightly shorter though! I just need to find a place where it's not crazy expensive to order Swedish books...
This month I read:
- Genom dina ögon (The Host in Swedish) by Stephenie Meyer
- The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories Volume 2
- The New Ghost by Robert Hunter
- The Crab With the Golden Claws by Hergé
- Guardians of the Galaxy: Beginnings by Tomas Palacios
- Through the Woods by Emily Caroll
- Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl
- De twee jaar nadat [The two years after], a Dutch book, by Steef van Gorkum
- Eragon by Christopher Paolini
- Wild Magic by Cat Weatherill
- The Flash Volume 1: Move Forward by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato
- North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
- Myths of the Norsemen by Roger Lancelyn Green
- Picture me Gone by Meg Rosoff
My favorite of the month was North and South. It was a little different from what I expected but I ended up really enjoying it!
How was your reading month?
