Book Splurge [5]

Last Saturday, I attended the book club's F2F6: The Lord of The Rings discussion, which will be the subject of another (future) post. I only mention it now because that was the occasion when I received these lovely books from my awesome bookish friends.

•  The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz ~ I bought this from Treebeard, er, Tricia, who's raising funds to buy a Nook by selling some of her titles. For a trade paperback in very good condition, Tricia definitely gave me a bargain. Thanks, Tricia! :)
   
• Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson ~ I've been hearing how Robinson writes elegantly, and so I put this book up on my wish list over at Goodreads. My Buddy, whose knack for scouring Book Sale shelves for good titles I seriously envy, got this copy for me. Thank, Buddy! :D
  
  
• Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro ~ A copy that I won from Buddy's birthday giveaway last April. I've read this before and gave it 5 stars (loved it!), but since I don't have a print copy yet (I read the Kindle edition), I thought it would be the perfect book to receive from a fellow Ishiguro fan.
  
  And look, there's a National Book Store gift certificate to go with Ishiguro, too! Yay! :)

P500 to buy a new book! Yay! :D
