For a crazy circumstance in which I didn't think I was doing anything that incredibly helpful or selfless, I was given a $50 gift card to Barnes&Nobles as a thank you! Well that's like a book lover's dream come true is it not? Funny thing is $50 can go really fast when buying books. Since it was something special, I wanted to get nice books and go with quality over quantity. Here's what I got!
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare
 |
| What a beautiful edition am I right? |
Beowulf translated by J.R.R. Tolkien
 |
I just read Beowulf translated by someone else earlier this year and I loved it but I'm excited to get a translation by one of my favorite authors.
|
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
 |
| I re-read these a couple years ago and was blown away by the absurdities and wit that Carroll created in these two books. |
Two Doctor Who Bookmarks
 |
| Because I work my love of Doctor Who into everything. ;) These were just nice little bonuses. :) |
 |
| Overall I'd say I'm incredibly blessed with books! :) |

DeleteI have that same copy of Shakespeare's Complete Works, and I just recently picked up that version of Alice & Through the Looking Glass at B&N. Great minds think alike, right? :)

DeleteYes! I also have that same Alice in Wonderland. I'm collecting editions of it- about 8 so far! It's my favorite! I also like Shakespeare (:
ReplyDeleteWow! That's impressive! They are such unique and quirky novels. :)
