Not brilliant, but lots of them were hardcover books or over-sized paperbacks or audio books so, yeah. And that still comes out to about $1.02 per book!

I've read 3 of those books. The Secret Life of Bees is supposidely for teens and The Mermaid Chair is for middle aged women. But I'm pretty young, and The Secret Life of Bees makes me want to hurl things out a window. I hated it. But the Mermaid Chair I really liked. I'll wait to tell you my opinion on Princess Bride until I know if you've read it or not.

The Shining by Stephen Kind (just finished this on adio tape, but wanted a copy for myself)

Everyone needs a copy of that book. (of course, it is kind of sad that I can open the book randomly and start reading and know what's going on) I LOVE Stephen King, what can I say?

OOoh! I'm drooling over your Art of Fushigi Yuugi book. That's the first anime series I ever fell in love with and watched from beginning to end. Yu Watase's art is GORGEOUS! And her bishounen are teh pretty! ;-)

Oh, and I haven't even heard of 'The Secret Life of Bees' until just now, so don't feel too badly about not reading it yet. I doubt I ever will...
