Main source of books
Mixed secondhand stores. The first three were purchased during a short trip to Stockholm, the others from a shop in Malmö.

Do I reasonably have space for these new books in my room?
I've had to put a lot of books away not to make room for new ones. There might be up to thirty books behind my books... I don't like it, but it's the way it's gonna have to be right now.

Best find
Maybe "Going Bovine"? I was so happy and surprised to find it in a secondhand shop! Libba Bray is also the author of the "Gemma Doyle" trilogy, which is a YA historical fantasy series set mostly in 19th century Britain, and it was one of my absolute favourite series around 2013. That's why it was great that I found this standalone novel by her as well!

Most expensive book
All the ones from Stockholm were 30SEK each, which makes those the most expensive this month. That fact is a bit crazy.... so cheap!

Best bargain
I seriously got "The Mark of Athena", "Divergent" and "Don Quixote" for 5SEK ($0.52) each at a secondhand shop in Malmö. They were originally 10SEK but set at 50% off.

Most excited to read
Probably "Going Bovine". I'm hoping I can read it next year, maybe.

Most likely never to be read
I feel hopeful and ambitious about it, but "Don Quixote" will surely be a challenge to read. It's got loads of pages and the font is very small. However, it's in good condition, and I  had a hard time finding a nice edition online, so I was happy to find one in a secondhand store.

Books I (kind of) regret not buying
I feel like I've been wanting to buy "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" for quite some time now, but I haven't yet, despite reduced price on Book Depository and all. I couldn't really afford a pricier book this month, though.

New series

1. "Divergent" by Veronica Roth

Total amount of books
419+6=425 (ca., one can never be quite sure)

Overall thoughts
I was most excited about the books I found in Stockholm; something I'm not surprised about. Last time I went secondhand shopping in Stockholm (last winter), I also found a ton of great books to buy. I wish the supply would also be that promising around Lund, but alas... only sometimes.
