Today after attending a café discussion at the Alliance française and before going to lunch with friends, I stopped in at Perfect Books on Elgin Street, just to browse. Except that if you know anything about me with bookshops, there's really no such thing as "just browsing". So here's what I bought:

Novels:

Not Your Child, by Lis Angus (signed by author)
A Pen Dipped in Poison, by J.M. Hall
Bookworm, by Robin Yeatman


Books I've always meant to read (but never have):

Berlin Alexanderplatz, by Alfred Döblin, translated by Michael Hofmann
Journey into the Past, by Stefan Zweig, translated & with Afterword by Anthea Bell; intro by André Aciman


Front-of-Store stuff with cool bindings (though all with content of interest!)

It's not you, it's capitali$m: Why it's time to break up and move on by Malaika Jabari; illustration & design by Kayla E.
An Elderly Lady Must Not be Crossed, by Hélene Tursten translated by Marlaine Delargy (this is a novel too; I've read & enjoyed other books by her)
Beauty and the Beat: 33 1/3, by Lisa Whittington-Hill


Freebie:

Room to Dream: A zine about the Ontario Basic Income Pilot, by Kendal David and Chloe Halpenny
