Booksale #1 Day 3

[tarotgal]

I only hit one of the two booksales today. It was closing day which means happy sales.

I bought a few books I couldn't live without, then I filled up a bag with other books.

• Faerie Wars by Herbie Brennan (I dunno, it's for teens but it looked interesting)
  
• The Talisman by Stephen King & Peter Straub
  
• Angel: Shakedown by Don DeBrandt (Squee!)
  
• Angel: City of by Nancy Holder (for BookCrossing, since I already own a copy of the nummy)
  
• Bridges of Madison County by Robert James Waller (hardcover)
  
• Nerd in Shining Armor by Vicki Lewis Thompson (I've never read a geek romance but I have always wanted to try reading one)
  
• Circle of Stones by Anna Lee Waldo (eh, will probably put on my To Be Read shelf and never read it and BookCross with it instead, but who kows)
  
• Star Wars Episode I Journal: Anakin Skywalker byTodd Strasser (not a single picture of Obi, but, hey, it looks cute)
  
• Anime- InuYahsa 3 (now I wish I'd picked up a copy of #2 on the first/second day of the sale, but oh well)
  
• Anime- InuYahsa 6
  
• This Exit for Roadside America by Barth, Kirby, Smith & Wilkins
  
• Gerald's Game by Stephen King (hardcover)
  
• The Nany Diaries by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus (oversized paperback)
  
• Airframe by Michael Crichton (hardcover)
  
• Shapeshifter's Quest by Dena Landon (uh, I dunno. Cover looks interesting. But what's better is that it's an uncorrected proof copy, so that'll be fun to look at)
  
• Earth in the Balance by Al Gore (oversized paperback)
  
• Movie Dialogue Quiz Book by Diane Giddis
  
• What Shall we Name the Baby? edited by Winthrop Ames (for BookCrossing)

• Writer's Little Instruction Book: Getting Published by Paul Raymond Martin
  
• The Writing Life by Anne Dillard
  
• Plot by Ansen Dibell
  
• Setting by Jack M. Bickham
  
• The Mammoth Book of Zombies edited by Stephen Jones (my boss at work likes Zombies... so I'm thinking of giving it to him)
  
• The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
  
• Black Boy by Richard Wright (for BookCrossing)
  
• Lord of the Flies by William Golding (for BookCrossing- probably this week since it's 'authors whose names begin with G week')
  
• Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris (for BookCrossing)
  
• The Duke by Catherine Coulter (I don't remember putting this in the bag. Maybe I picked up the wrong book or maybe someone else put it in mine accidentally... but I'll be BookCrossing with it)
  
• Sphere by Michael Crichton (for BookCrossing)
  
• The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield (for BookCrossing)
  
• The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield (for BookCrossing) (hardcover)
  And my favorites for the day...
  
• 253 by Geoff Ryman (I've been wanting desperately to read this book ever since I found out it existed earlier this week! How cool that I found it today!) (oversized paperback)
  
• Feeding Frenzy! The WIld New World of the San Jose Sharks by Steve Cameron
  
• On Writing by Stephen King (I finished reading this book yesterday and sent it out today in my writing bookbox with MUCH regret because I wanted to keep it to read it over and over again. I LOVED it!! It's one of my favorite books in the world now and I've been looking for a copy every day- even went to two bookstores today looking for a copy. And now I find this one... in HARDBACK and perfect condition, and I'd apparently missed it the first two days of the sale! I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooo lucky & excited! *hugs book to chest*)
  

All this for... $5. I love final days of these booksales. But I was ready to pay full price for a hardback copy of On Writing by Stephen King on Amazon.com which would have been more than $5. So I cannot believe how I lucked out! Gotta love fate, huh? I'm so happy with my books! *pets*
