My Amazon Haul
Apr. 12th, 2011 04:40 pmOnce upon a time, AKA a few weeks ago, I ordered some books on Amazon.co.jp.
Today, they came! Yay!
Here is what I got
「愛の面影」
'Ai no Omokage', by Jyoorugetto Heiyaa
AKA The Japanese translation of Georgette Heyer's 'These Old Shades'. (In case anyone cares, the Japanese title means 'Shadows of Love'. A pretty good title, I think.
「花空色の美しい日本語帳」
Hana Sora Iro no Utsukushii Nihongo Cho, by Michiyuki Megu
This is an exploration of the traditional Japanese names for colors, flowers and celestial phenomenon. Lest anyone think it sounds boring, I will let you know that Chiaki Kuriyama (AKA Gogo in Kill Bill) recommends it because it taught her the meaning and power of words, and the wonder of Japanese. So there.
「たったひとつの恋」
Tatta Hitotsu no Koi, by Kitagawa Eriko
This is the novel of my favorite J-dorama of the same name.
NO MAKE, by Lena Fujii
Lena's newest book all about hair, make up, her blog, etc etc.
「わがはい」
Wagahai, by Miyabi
Miyavi's old essay/photo book from 2003, which is out of print now!! Yay.
「櫻狩り(下)」
Sakuragari, Last volume
FINALLY. I have been waiting a year for this!!! (And now I have to reread the other two volumes because I forget what happened...)
