As always, around this time of year, the Best Book Bazar (ever), the one in the church, yadda yadda yadda.
This time I actually even donated some books (well. I think a lot), so I have enough space in my shelves to fill it with:
Bruns, Ursula: "Dick und Dalli und die Ponies" (You see, some of my favourite childhood movies are those of the "Immenhof"-series, and this is the book they are based on).
Coetzee, J.M.: "Disgrace" (because, yes, I'd still like to read most winners of the Booker-prize (just not this years)).
Ende, Michael: "Die unendliche Geschichte" ("The Neverending Story", and no, I can't believe I never read it either).
Foer, Jonathan Safran: "Extremely Loud&Incredibly Close"
Forester, C.S.: "Hornblower & The Hotspur"
"The Happy Return"
"A Ship of the Line"
"Flying Colours"
"The Commodore"
"Lord Hornblower" (orange backed penguins, all of them)
Gaskell, Elizabeth: "Cranford" (admittedly, I already read it, but who can say no to blue linen and gold print?)
Kästner, Erich "Emil und die drei Zwillinge" Kästner, Erich: "Der kleine Grenzverkehr"
Powell, Anthony: "A Question of Upbringing" (Very surprising find. Usually, all you get are the omnibusses of "Dance to the Music of Time", and I'd hate to buy one and not like the first book and be stuck with it.)
Walker, Alice: "The Color Purple"
Wolf, Christa: "Kassandra"
Also: "Kräuter, Tees & Co: Wahre Wunder der Natur"(about herbs and tea, apparently, though the first few pages are all about Our Poisonous World (tm))
AND. First time this happened to me: I bought a book I already have. One of James Krüss' novels, I even have the same edition, it's very jarring.
EDIT. I forgot one. Can you believe it. Christie, Agatha: "The Sittaford Mystery"
EDIT AGAIN. Sweet chocolate covered christ. King, Stephen: "It" (a mood-buy thing) and some sort of collection of regency romance novellas for Christmas.
