I bought a book in Norwegian called "En tid for alt" in English it would be "A time for everything" or something like that, by a Norwegian autor named Karl Ove Kanusgård.

Jack Charles, Born-again Blakfella. Uncle Jack, a living national treasure, died recently. I've been looking forward to reading this book for ages, the wait at the library was too long, so... I splurged. He had an extraordinary life: boys' home, kicked out by his white 'family' when he reconnected with his real family, actor, musician, potter, heroin addict, cat burglar, mentor, and Elder.

I just bought the Bridgerton series from Book outlet. I was hestitant at first to buy them, but after hearing someone say they enjoyed the series on Netflix I thought I would give the series a try.

It was "Richard I Lionheart", I believe. The book is based on his biography and history.

I got a Norse mythology book at a used bookstore over Christmas break. I haven't started it yet but I have enjoyed looking at the cover, haha!

I had a gift certificate from a friend for Target and decided to buy a bunch of books. Out of all of them that I bought the one that stood out the most to me that I am really looking forward to reading is The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

I recently purchased the book "Spare", by Prince Harry. I'm curious to see what he has to say about life in the royal family.

I Almost Forgot About You by Terry McMillan

Watched several interviews where she introduced this book herself. It was already a few years back, but only recently I've ordered it. Can't wait!

I recently bought Darien by Conn Iggulden because he's an author I really enjoy. I still haven't got around to reading this book yet though...

I just bought "Uncommon Type: Some Stories", by Tom Hanks. I totally forgot he wrote this book a few years ago, and I just discovered it on Amazon

I can't remember the last physical book I bought; I usually get them secondhand from friends or on Kindle. The next one will be The Teacher though!
