 What’s the last book you bought? What’s the last book you read?

BW: The last three books I bought are: Dan Wells’s serial killer trilogy; George Martin’s Dance with Dragons; Joan, by Donald Spoto. The last book I read was Scott Westerfield’s Midnighter trilogy.

KK: The last book I bought was Stina Leicht’s Of Blood and Honey. The last book I read was Cat Valente’s The Grass-Cutting Sword, which is placed somewhere on the intersection between poetry and prose. It’s about ancient gods, eight daughters and a monster. Beautiful language.

SM: The last book I bought was The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.  The last book I read was The Magician King by Lev Grossman.

SW: The last book I bought was The Complete Pelican Shakespeare. For college. The last book I read was Across the Universe by Beth Revis.
