Christmas Book Fair

I like visiting the book fairs in Sofia. We usually have two per year, one in December, and one in May. I would often go 3-4 times, slowly navigating through the landscape, buying 1-2 books at a time.

I went there with the goal to buy the new book by Nicci French and maybe return for another round over the next 3-4 days. Came back to the office with 8. That’s a bit too many. This means I’m not returning to the fair as I exceeded the reasonable maximum of new books for the month 🙂 Anything else will have to wait.

Highlights:

• The Dungeon Crawler Carl – I have to admit I made a purchase decision based on the fact that this book has a hole in the cover. It also has a very high score on Goodreads but that wouldn’t have been enough to buy it.
• The Devils by Joe Abercrombie – you can say by the beautiful print that Joe Abercrombie has a new publisher for Bulgaria. The last one only did paperbacks.
• The Last Days of Kira Mullan – Maud O’Conner’s part 1 was quite interesting I hope this book lives up to the expectations. That would likely be the next book I’ll start (currently reading two other). I like Nicci French.
