What's your most recent book purchase?

I just added my most recent purchases to the "What's the last thing you bought online" thread, but thought a new thread would be fun. In light of the huge number of us who said we're obsessed with books and reading, here's a chance to let the rest of us know!

I just bought three Persephone books (my real obsession):

Bricks and Mortar by Helen Ashton
Minnie's Room: The Peacetime Diaries of Mollie Panter-Downes by Mollie Panter-Downes
The Home-Maker by Dorothy Canfield Fisher

Harry Potter 7 .

I don't have much time for reading at the moment, so I have a backlog of new books bought in the last few months that I haven't started yet. Dealthy Hallows is the only one of them I've read so far.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, of course!  And because I have no patience, I wound up with both the UK and US editions.

I don't buy books as much as I used to, sadly.  Most of mine are from the library these days.  Does that count?  If so, my most recent book is Michael Tolliver Lives by Armistead Maupin.

...I have a backlog of new books bought in the last few months...

I fear my backlog may go back years!   Anyway, I've been making a concerted effort not to buy anymore - just to read through what we have, but I did buy some today:

Pies and Prejudice: In Search of the North - Stuart Maconie
Donne: The Reformed Soul - John Stubbs
Thomas Hardy: The Time-torn Man - Claire Tomalin

And we are due to get the new Harry Potter tomorrow morning - Steve ordered it last week from our local independent bookshop.

If so, my most recent book is Michael Tolliver Lives by Armistead Maupin.

Yes, it counts! That's on my list ... but I'm waiting until it's in paperback and dirt cheap on Amazon. And until I re-read all the other books in the series!

I just ordered The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson.

Pies and Prejudice: In Search of the North - Stuart Maconie

That is my most recent purchase as well.

I finally got a library card today though, so hopefully I won't be spending anywhere near what I have been on books.

I just ordered The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson.

Oo..that's a good one!

The last books I purchased were some children's books for my nephews in the US. The last book I bought for myselft was Breakfast at Tiffany's.

I just ordered Teacher Man by Frank McCourt.

I got a book called "Lovable Character Cakes" by Debbie Brown.  She is amazing!
