Another book sale!
Oct. 18th, 2008 03:34 pmJust spent WAY more money on books than I had planned...oops?
But the good thing is I went in going 'hmm, I wonder if I'll find more Forrester novels' and I did! So score, that worked out perfectly!
Seriously, the second I hit the scifi section I was grabbing things left and right...so yes, much better selection this time! 'Course it is the big sale at the fair grounds instead of the small library one so I'm not surprised :D No to mention the Anthropology section, which tends to have a majority of books published 1990 and earlier...but I actually found some more recent ones!
Some other highlights:
~The Long, Dark, Tea-Time of the Soul by Douglas Adams
~And SIX Orson Scott Card books, including Speaker for the Dead so now I can return the library copy that I'm reading!
~Paperback of The Other Boleyn Girl because the hardback is big!
~The previously mentioned Lieutenant Hornblower by C. S. Forrester
The problem with owning so many books is that I tend to forget what I have and get double copies very often...at least I can sell them!
