At the end of this week, Lent ends and my Lenten sacrifice of buying or trading no books ends. This didn't mean that I didn't add titles to my Amazon cart for purchase in the weeks following Easter, so for those few who are curious about which works have struck my fancy, here are the book-related contents of my Amazon cart, plus a few others that I likely will order/buy elsewhere:
Danilo Kiš, Basta, pepeo; Rani jadi : za decu i osetljive
Claudia Rankine, Don't Let Me Be Lonely: An American Lyric
Frederic Morton, Thunder at Twilight: Vienna 1913/1914
Milorad Pavić, Hazarski Rečnik
Max Brooks, The Harlem Hellfighters
Daša Drndić, Sonnenschein/Trieste
José de Almada Negreiros, Nombre de Guerra
Karen Russell, Sleep Donation (e-book)
Brandon Sanderson, Words of Radiance
Teju Cole, Every Day is for the Thief
David James Poissant, The Heaven of Animals
Dinaw Mengestu, All Our Names
David Grossman, Falling out of Time
Ann and Jeff VanderMeer (eds.), The Time Traveler's Almanac
Emma Donoghue, Frog Music
Hilda Hilst, With My Dog Eyes
It'll probably be a couple of months before I buy them all (having to be more careful with my money this summer, when I'm earning only one paycheck while I take a college course in order to renew my teaching license for another five years), but these should be high priorities for both reading and reviewing in the next few months.
