I don't know if I'm alone at this but if I don't have a to-buy list, I waste too much time over thinking "what should I buy?", and end up purchasing nothing. In order to avoid this problem, I decided to be more organized person and make a to-buy list!
You can find my to-buy list below, which will be a guide for my next book shopping.
1. Memories of My Melancholy Whores by Gabriel García Márquez
An old journalist, who has just celebrated his 90th birthday, seeks sex with a young prostitute, who is selling her virginity to help her family. Instead of sex, he discovers love for the first time in his life.
2. Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel García Márquez
Santiago Nasar is brutally murdered in a small town by two brothers. All the townspeople knew it was going to happen - including the victim. But nobody did anything to prevent the killing. Twenty seven years later, a man arrives in town to try and piece together the truth from the contradictory testimonies of the townsfolk. To at last understand what happened to Santiago, and why...
3. Veronika Decides to Die by Paulo Coelho
Veronika has everything she could wish for. Yet she is not happy; something is lacking in her life, and one morning she decides to die. She takes an overdose of sleeping pills, only to wake up some time later in the local hospital. There she is told that her heart is damaged and she has only a few days to live. The story follows Veronika through these intense days as to her surprise she finds herself experiencing feelings she has never really felt before. Against all odds she finds herself falling in love and even wanting to live again.
4. The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco
The year is 1327. Franciscans in a wealthy Italian abbey are suspected of heresy, and Brother William of Baskerville arrives to investigate. When his delicate mission is suddenly overshadowed by seven bizarre deaths, Brother William turns detective. His tools are the logic of Aristotle, the theology of Aquinas, the empirical insights of Roger Bacon—all sharpened to a glistening edge by wry humor and a ferocious curiosity. He collects evidence, deciphers secret symbols and coded manuscripts, and digs into the eerie labyrinth of the abbey, where “the most interesting things happen at night.”
P.s.: I have a bookstagram page, actually. But it's in Turkish. I don't think most of you can understand my reviews, and translation doesn't work well from Turkish to English. That's why there are plents of posts about books on this blog. Well, sorry.
*Plots are from the blurbs on the back of the books.
