I can now post about the books bought while in the US. I bought a total of nine, including Harry Potter which I left with my sister (I'm collecting the UK adult cover versions), and The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes which I could not get into (too many things happening in novel!) which I also left behind.
What I did bring back are:
New York Vertical by Horst Hamman
Don't Look Back: A Memoir by Patrick O'Connor
A Year in New York by Elisha Cooper
Literacy and Longing in L.A. by Jennifer Kaufman and Karen Mack
Lost & Found by Jacqueline Sheehan
The Faith Club: A Muslim, A Christian, A Jew-Three Women Search for Understanding by Ranya Idliby, Suzanne Oliver and Priscilla Warner
The Jane Austen Book Club: A Novel by Karen Joy Fowler
The first 3 were bought at the Strand in NYC. I wanted to find books on New York and or written by a New Yorker. The next 3 were found at a Barnes & Noble '3 for 2' table. The final one was bought on the day before I left as I had nothing to read on the plane (didn't want to start on the others till I was home). D stopped me after that. No more place in the suitcase. Grrr... Next time I'm going with a half empty one.
