At the beginning of the month I told myself, "Emilija, it's time for a book buying ban. You need to save money and get presents for your loved ones. CONTAIN YOURSELF, IT'S ONLY FOR A MONTH. YOU CAN DO IT!"

...

I failed. 

Somehow, I acquired 26 books in December. Some were bargains from Amazon. 2 of these were books I chose as xmas presents, some were boxing day sales bargains, others... were simply a catastrophe for my purse. Anyway, when you're done being dramatic, Emilija, get on with the list of books you got.
