This week's Book Blogger Hop, hosted by Crazy-for-Books, asks the question,
If I gave you $80 and sent you into a bookshop right now, what would be in your basket when you finally staggered to the till?
Well, I actually have over $80 in gift cards right now. However, I tend to be really conscientious with my book buying. I don't like to rush out and spend it all at once - I like to stretch it out over a few months. I'm also paranoid about buying books that I don't know much about because I don't like books with graphic sex or a lot of profanity and don't want to own those books. With that said, if I was just going to haphazardly buy a bunch of books with $80, here's what I would come up with:
The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott by Kelly O'Connor McNees
The Children's Book by A.S. Byatt
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
Undiscovered Country by Lin Enger
Dear Scott, Dearest Zelda by Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald and various others
The Greater Journey: Americans in Paris by David McCullough (not out yet, boo)
That leaves me 3.14 left... which would probably have to cover tax. Now I'm tempted to go out and really use my gift certificate. Must... restrain... self!
What would you buy if you could go on a wild and crazy book buying spree?
