It happens every year. I make a resolution then I break 'em. I thought I’d at least be able to past the first month of the year without breaking any of my New Year’s resolution. Boy... was I wrong! My intentions were to minimise book purchases for 2009. Unfortunately or fortunately (I’m still uncertain which it is) last week which happens to be ONLY the second week of the year, I went to the Times Bookstore Warehouse Sale and bought a collection of books that could have put the national library to shame... I’m exaggerating of course...
Anyway, since I’ve broken my resolution I might as well go all out and shamelessly show off my purchases:
Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer
On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwen
Eat, Love & Pray by Elizabeth Gilbert
Death of Vishnu by Manil Suri
The History of Love by Nicole Strauss
The Ladies of Grace Adieu
Love Is Strange by Joseph ConnollyGreat buys don’t you think? Anyway, this weekend is the last weekend for the warehouse sale, so go get 'em people!
