Saturday:
I took a bunch of books to Half Price Books and with my $30 I bought a few books and went out to lunch :)
The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig (Half Price Books - author recommended by several people)
Stop in the Name of Pants! by Louise Rennison (Half Price Books - I didn't know this was even out in paperback!)
The Explosionist by Jenny Davidson (Half Price Books - recommended by several people)
Mr Funky's Super Crochet Wonderful by Narumi Ogawa (Half Price Books - checked this out from the library once, it's cute!)
Yay you got the Explosionist!! I wish I knew what I did with my copy so that I could re-reading before reading the follow-up. But its hiding in a box somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed that you got rid of 86 books! Of course, that means you'll need to bring in at least 100 more. I think I won a copy of One Day too, but mine hasn't come yet.
ReplyDeleteI really really want to read One Day. I didn't realize it was the same author of Starter for Ten for awhile...I want to read that too. The movie is great.
ReplyDeleteI got the Louder than Words books too. I'm excited!!
And I really want to read the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books.
