Need to stay away from bookshops on my lunchbreak!

Here is what I bought:

Snakes and Earrings (Vintage)

Hitomi Kanehara

This is quite a thin little book from Japan and is described as 'A picture of an eccentric world that clearly passes on what goes on in the minds of young women today: a radical depiction of our time' (Ryu Murakami).  Probably wouldn't have taken a chance on it except for the price ($6.94) and the fact that it has won a Japanese literary prize.  Can pass it on to my mum when finished as she is interested in Asian literature.

Sense and Sensibility (Penguin Classics)

Jane Austen

Bought this one to read for Rory's Book Club.  Think I might have read it previously but honestly can't remember!  Also a bargain at $7.94.

Uglies (Uglies Trilogy, Book 1)

Scott Westerfeld

This is the first book in a YA fantasy trilogy.  Thought it looked intriguing. 

Milly-Molly-Mandy Stories (Young Puffin Books)

Joyce Lankester Brisley

  An old favourite and a gift for a girl turning six this week.
