You went to the bookstore, to the library, to a book festival and you came back home with a new pile of books... Share with us what you found ...

I went to the library and borrowed lots of books:

That should keep you busy for a little while Martin ;)

I've already read three of them, but they were quite short.

Wow! Nice... I have also quite a to read list...I wish I could read all the time...I want more time in a day!

One of my colleagues lent me American Indian Myths and Legends
sounds really interesting!

Oh cool! :-)

I find learning about the myths and legends of other cultures quite interesting!

I love that, it's really enriching.

I went to the bookstore to buy a gift and picked up a book for my own collection, Edgar Allan Poe: Complete Tales and Poems

Great choice Shevella! I've ordered Amistad.

I saw the movie when it came out. It's a very powerful story.

I saw the movie too. The book has been on my TBR list for ages!

Oooh Edgar Allan Poe! I have the complete works on my bookshelf (still have to read it.)
Amistad sounds interesting, Martin!

Friday I finally received my beautiful copy of Tess of the D'Urbervilles. Still waiting on Middlemarch. I hope I'll get it before I finish the e-book, but I'm on a schedule... I have so much to read this year!!!!! :-o

Middlemarch was just delivered! It's such a pretty edition! :-) I'm over the moon! :-D

That's great news, Karin! I love that moment when I open the parcel... I'm a kid again!
I'm planning my visit to the library on Friday...

I wen to the library yesterday and borrowed some books:
King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table, Great Expectations, The Graveyard Book, Room, La guerre des banlieues n'aura pas lieu and a collection of autobiographical stories by Jack London, and books for my daughters too.
I received Amistad and ordered The Namesake, Pay It Forward and Creative Confidence: Unleashing the Creative Potential Within Us All.
Lots of good reads for March!

oooooh I love Great Expectations and Neil Gaiman! You have great taste!

Thanks Karin! I love Neil Gaiman but I would like to love (or at least to like) Charles Dickens. I read David Copperfield a few years ago and I didn't like it at all. I also read A Christmas Carol, it was OK. So now, I would like to read Great Expectations, I will take time to read it and hope to like it...

Just went to the library and picked up for our Irish female author month and which was recommended to me by another Goodreads member.

I bought some books last week:
The Thing Around Your Neck
The Tempest
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter

I've just come back from the library! I borrowed Life of Pi, Me Talk Pretty One Day (!!!!houray!), The Good Muslim (that I'm going to read for the TOTM (spirituality), Momo by Michael Ende. I also borrowed books for my daughters and my hubby (Asimov and Jack London; books that I've already read but I want him to discover).

I went to the bookstore today ;-))
I bought:
Beartown by Frederick Backman (one of my favorite authors!)
New Boy by Tracy Chevalier
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

And I also went to the library and I borrowed books for the French Black History Month Challenge that I fixed on July:
Les marrons, Et les chiens se taisaient and Mets et merveilles!

And I borrowed some books from my school library:
The Giver
Ready Player One
Tell the Wolves I'm Home

Garden Spells is a great read. I read it recently. Sort of magical realism, bit , and some family drama.
