It's that time again ... Book Blogger Hop! This weekly event is hosted at Crazy for Books and it's a great way to meet other book bloggers and learn a little more about your fellow bloggers.
This week's question is:
"If I gave you £50 (or $80) and sent you into a bookshop right now, what would be in your basket when you finally staggered to the till?"
Such a good question! I always walk into a bookstore intending to buy one or two books, and walk out with way more than that! So, with $80, this is what I would purchase:
The Paris Wife by Paula McLain
Blood, Bones, and Butter by Gabrielle Hamilton
Blood, Bones, and Butter by Gabrielle Hamilton
Paris Times Eight: Finding Myself in the City of Dreams by Deirdre Kelly
The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown
Of Hockey and Hijab by Sheema Khan
The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown
Of Hockey and Hijab by Sheema Khan
There are a few more that I have on my list, but they haven't been released yet!
So, what would you buy with $80?
Thanks for visiting my blog. I, too, love Jane Eyre. It is definitely in my top 5 favorite books of all time. Might I recommend The Illustrated Jane Eyre illustrated by Dame Darcy? It is one of 3 editions I own and it is my favorite. The illustrations play to the story very well.

The Paris Wife is definitely up there on my list. I can't wait to actually have a chance to go buy it!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I love the sound of 'Paris Times Eight'! It might be a bit tricky to get hold of over here in England but it's goin' on the wishlist anyway! Glad you like my question... My list is here:
