13 Books I Purchased Recently

Posted in: 2020 posts | Blog Meme | Books | Diana Wynne Jones | Jane Austen | Michael Crichton | My Fangirl Side | Online Shopping | Shopping Bag


Another Thursday 13 post!
  1. The Wrong Number (R. L. Stine) - I want to try reading the Fear Street series again.
  2. Tuesdays with Morrie (Mitch Albom) - Curious.
  3. Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (Helen Fielding) - Curious. Saw the movie.
  4. A Rainbow Feast: New Asian Short Stories. (edited by Mohammad A. Quayum) - Random pick.
  5. Frankenstein (Mary Shelley) - Curious.
  6. Eaters of the Dead (Michael Crichton)
  7. Timeline (Michael Crichton)
  8. Airframe (Michael Crichton)
  9. The Andromeda Strain (Michael Crichton)
  10. Travels (Michael Crichton)
  11. The Kalahari Typing School for Men (Alexander McCall Smith) - Bargain corner.
  12. Bungo Stray Dogs #16 [Gempak Starz] (Asagiri Kafka, Harukawa Sango)
  13. The Decagon House Murders (Ayatsuji Yukito) - Curious.
I'm a big Michael Crichton fan so that's the reason why there are so many. This month, I ended up buying many pre-loved books of his on Carousell. I seriously need to stay away from that site/app. I haven't received the first and last book via mail. Bungo and Hyouka are two main mangas I buy regularly because they are available locally in English. I've learnt enough from experience that if I want those manga, buy it as soon as possible because they will be out of stock in the future (had to turn to Carousell to get a used version of Hyouka #1).

Weird combination? I usually go by my current mood when I pick what to read. Generally, I like a good story but I'm also the same person who prefer Michael Crichton, Diana Wynne Jones & Jane Austen' writing styles... what does that mean? I also don't know. *sighs in confusion*

Hopefully I won't buy anymore books in the near future...
