Anne Hathaway is apparently seeking a bit of balance in her life.
The 30-year-old actress stocked up on some spring reading in New York, on Monday.
But all of the literature the Les Miserables star selected clearly followed a specific theme - how to achieve equilibrium amidst change.
Stocking up: Anne Hathaway made a trip to the book store in New York, on Monday
Spring reading: The 30-year-old purchased books on finding balance amidst a changing world
For the intellectual outing Anne wore a newsboy cap, a tear drop crystal pendant on a long silver chain, and a big comfy asymmetrical jacket.
The bookworm donned slip on shoes for the overcast day along with skinny jeans and a grey shirt.
Her porcelain complexion was nearly make-up free as she initially picked among greeting cards at the book shop.
But the newly married actress soon turned her attention to some heavier reading.
Good selection: The Academy Award winner picked among greeting cards before plunging into more heavy reading
Among the Academy Award winner's final selection was a nifty title by Nathanael Johnson on how to strike a balance between alternative natural methods and modern science when it comes to health, happiness, and ecology.
Quite a catch: Anne carted home an armload of new reading material
The
book, All Natural, is advertised as a sceptic's guide to a radically
shifting world - including climate change, organic living, killer germs,
and obesity.
But that was not all, continuing her thematically-coordinated buying spree the Princess Diaries star opted for a novel by Karen Thompson Walker, titled The Age of Miracles.
The fictional plot centers on a young woman who survives a global catastrophe in which the world becomes topsy-turvy.
The book chronicles the heroine's struggle to achieve balance while everything falls to pieces around her - including gravity, the birds, the tides, human behavior and cosmic rhythms.
Next on her reading agenda was a how-to on attaining harmony in the kitchen - Flavour Thesaurus by Niki Segnit.
The book, written in the style of a thesaurus, teaches how to pair flavours together to achieve gustatory balance through recipes and ingredient coupling suggestions.

The stack: Anne gathered her books together for purchase

And last but not least, Anne picked up a copy of American Isis: The Life and Art of Sylvia Plath By Carl Rollyson.
The biography revisits the tumultuous life of the famed poet - who achieved notoriety by chronicling her own psychic sea changes and struggle to achieve inner harmony through confessional poetry and the semi-autobiographical novel The Bell Jar.
