Main source of books
This month was all about the annual Swedish book sale! I purchased my books at Akademibokhandeln, Science Fiction Bokhandeln, and Adlibris <3

Do I reasonably have space for these new books in my room?
Always. It's getting tight, though. On the other hand, it was getting tight at 200 books. Now I'm at 350+. My parents and I might be planning a new bookshelf. We'll see.
Update, post book sale: I bought 26 books and had a breakdown while trying to fit them into my shelves. I need new space :'(

Best find
To be honest, it's probably "Elden" by Maria V. Snyder, because it was sold out everywhere aside from the publisher's website. I was so happy to find it there, and now it matches perfectly with the rest of the series on my shelves.

Most expensive book
That would be "Elden", which in itself only cost 68SEK but with shipping kost 108SEK, which goes a bit over the most expensive book I bought on the sale. 108SEK would translate to about 11.50USD.

Best bargain
Probably one of the hardcovers I bought, but there isn't one that stands out to me as a better bargain than the others.

Most excited to read
Probably "Elden" by Maria V. Snyder (which I of course read this month as soon as it arrived). There's a ton of the other books that I'm just waiting to dive into as well, though.

Most likely never to be read
Sadly, it's most likely gonna be "Dumplin'" that sits on the shelves for the longest time. But who knows; I've been lousy at picking up Julie Kagawa's books for years, so that trend might continue.

Books I (kind of) regret not buying
I do regret not buying "The Master and Margarita" and "Lolita". They both cost 100SEK each, though, so it didn't feel justified.

New series

1. "Talon" by Julie Kagawa
2. "Carve the Mark" by Veronica Roth
3. "Legacy of Orïsha" by Tomi Adeyemi
4. "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" by Jenny Han
5. "The Folk of Air" by Holly Black
6. "Seraphina" by Rachel Hartman
7. "Bloodlines" by Richelle Mead
8. "Aska och eld" by Sabaa Tahir
9. "Carve the Mark" by Veronica Roth

Total amount of books
347+11+2+16=376
That is a lot.

Overall thoughts
Came home with 15 books from the first day of book sale and had a minor breakdown over not being able to fit all the books on my shelves, especially when also trying to make it look nice. Anyways, I got them all in place and it looks ok. Nothing more, not a single book more, could fit. Then. I get a text. My order of 10 books has arrived at the post office. Fuck.
Also I'm sorry that the last two videos are grossly out of focus. I don't care enough to retake them.
