So here are the books that I bought last December, which are also the last book that I bought for the year 2018. I am also including my Japan, which is filled with bookish items, especially from my trip in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in the Universal Studios in Osaka. 
I brought these books at a 2nd hand discount shop in Namba, Osaka, which is called Book Off and I got them for very cheap prices.

In the Wizarding World of Harry Potter I brought 3 wands, which are Harry and Luna's wand and I also got my own wand from Olivander's that is the Oak Wand. I also brought Pumpkin Juice and Chocolate Frogs from Flourish and Blott's. In Disneyland, I got me a Minnie Mouse wearing a kimono plushie keychain, Ariel bag, and also a Winnie the Pooh cookies. I brought Royce chocolates in Sapporo Beer Factory, which are amazing. The dark chocolate one is my favorite.
