Saturday: Before I hit the jackpot at the library me and my sister had decided to go to two of our favorite used bookstores this weekend. We went anyways, i had coupons!
At Half Price Books I picked up:
Lipstick Jihad
Inner Circle
Flash Fiction Forward
Secrets of My Hollywood Life: On Location
The Truth About Forever
The Cinderella Pact
The Late Bloomer's Revolution
Sheer Abandon
Andy Warhol: Fashion
(most of these were under 4 dollars, how do you say no!)
At the other used bookstore:
Family Sold Separately
This Year's Model
Tales From the Teachers' Lounge
Microthrills
So that was embarrassing... what did you get/buy/find this week?
Well, the good news is you made me feel like I restrained myself in the book acquiring department:)

ReplyDeleteYou are sooooo lucky! Our used bookstores are just full of Harlequin romances!
I am soo jealous - Tales from the Teachers lounge sounds really great!!!
Also, sounds like you got some good YA stuff.
When I was in Vermont last week, I picked up two 2008 YA chick lits for $1.00 each!!!!
WOW, that's a lot. I only just got Prep today, nothing else this week.

ReplyDeleteI hit a book sale at my college held by one of the honor societies on Wednesday and got four books (for 2 dollars): If Only They Could Talk by James Herriot, The Fiancee and Other Stories by Anton Chekhov, The Optimist's Daughter by Eudora Welty, and Can You Forgive Her? by Anthony Trollope.
I also got Identical by Ellen Hopkins from Pulse It on Thursday.
You have totally outdone me in books this week! I think I acquired about 5 or 6.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fantastic stack!! I've actually been pretty good so far this month, which is good, since I have to atone for book buying binges the past few months.
ReplyDeletewow, enjoy your reading :)

Well, you know that my pile is even more shameful this week....
ReplyDeleteI would totally love to get my hands on All About Vee and Family Sold Separately though.
I've wanted to read "The Late Bloomer's Revolution" for a long time, just can't seem to make the time available.
ReplyDeleteraidergirl3- Haha! I'm glad! Looks like you were getting some good buys in though! I heart Amazon gift certificates!
ReplyDeletetina- Thank you! Yeah the closest used book store is full of romances too but I'll go in every once in a while and find something good! I need to go about 20-30 minutes to the really good store! What 2008 YA Chick Lit did you get???

amee- I miss college sales!!! What is Pulse It? I'll have to look into that!
alabama book worm- 5 or 6 is still a lot, almost a book for everyday of the week! I'm hoping my number will be closer to that this week, we will see!
