I don't frequent Booksale in the past as I never see familiar books (other than the usual Grisham, Steel, Roberts...) or books I wanted to buy there. Recently though, I've been buying a lot of never-heard books and see myself rummaging through every nook and cranny of the store, hoping to find a treasure.
Four weeks and three Booksale branches later, here are the stuff I accumulated:
The hardcovers (top to bottom):
- The Natural History of Uncas Metcalfe by Betsey Osborne
- The Mercury Visions of Louis Daguerre by Dominic Smith
- The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
- Saint Mudd by Steve Thayer
- Dinosaurs on the Roof by David Rabe
The paperbacks (top to bottom):
- Balcony People by Joyce Landorf Heatherley
- Grayson by Lynn Cox
- The Girl in the Glass by Jeffrey Ford
- A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby
- The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
- The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen
- The Best American Mystery Stories 2005 edited by Joyce Carol Oates
- The Soul Catcher by Michael White
Oh my, thirteen books! Nomnomnom. Done with The Soul Catcher and The Kite Runner. I have a looong way to go before I finish them all.
These are the gems of the pile :>
Currently reading: Dinosaurs on the Roof, Saint Mudd, and The Best American Mystery Stories
