I know this is very late and I had every intention of posting it IN December but then it was New Year’s Eve and I had to write a top album list and blah blah blah, you get the picture. Anyway, can you believe it’s been an entire year since I started this list thing? (The first book that ever made this list was Breakfast at Tiffany’s) In reality, I only bought one book last month and received one for Christmas so this list was going to be incredibly short until I realised - I both bought and had bought for me a number of books that did not make this list in their respective months because I actually forgot I hadn’t listed them earlier. So here is my list:
- Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald (I was planning to wait to buy this until I’d read The Great Gatsby but it was still at the bookstore when I visited the second time weeks later and I convinced myself it was fate and I had to buy it)
- Berlitz French phrase book and dictionary (my lovely sister gave this to me for Christmas and it came complete with pick-up lines that made me giggle a little)
- English/French-French/English Dictionary (it’s a 1967 Barnes & Noble copy which I picked up for $1 from a secondhand store that hadn’t quite opened for business yet)
- Sewing Basics by Sandra Bardwell (I picked this one up at the Craft and Quilt Fair (sidenote: did I mention that I went to this? No? Well in that case, it was awesome) and I sort of still owe my sister for it since she paid for it for me)
- Knitting Vintage by Claire Montgomerie (So I can’t actually knit but I’ve really wanted to learn for some time and this book has such beautiful patterns (like cloche hats and twinsets and Dior “New Look” style dresses and leg warmers and many other beautiful things) that I sort of had to buy it considering it was on clearance in a closing down Angus and Robertson sale)
