Main source of books
Second hand! But I got "Kirke" from www.bokus.se through a small comeptition, and I bought some others online.

Do I reasonably have space for these new books in my room?
Um... maybe? Starting to get real tight in here. To save the day, I bought a shoe shelf (?) at an auction, and for the moment it's living the life of a book shelf until it finds its right place in this world eventually.

Best find
Probably "The Invention of Hugo Cabret", which I've wanted to have for ages. I remember my teacher reading it to the class when I was about 11 years old, so it brings out some level of nostalgia.

Most expensive book
So far it's "The Priory of the Orange Tree", which cost me a full 133SEK when ordering brand new (a bit expensive for a paperback, honestly). I also bought a box of the His Dark Materials trilogy for about 230SEK, though that cuts it to about 77SEK per book, which isn't pricey.

Best bargain
Definitely "Kirke" by Madeline Miller! I got this for free, and it was amazing!

Most excited to read
Actually most of them, though I have to say "Doktor Faustus", "The Priory of the Orange Tree", and "Shadow Study" are all at the top of the list.

Most likely never to be read
If I really had to choose, it would be "The Amber Spyglass" and unfortunately "Paper Towns" that are at the bottom of the list. With emphasis on "The Amber Spyglass".

Books I (kind of) regret not buying
Nah, I just bought those in September instead ;)
