I already left a comment at your blog and Marce's in the comments for this month's book club. <br /><br />Brandy,<br />I think those are the prices during most days of the sale. The last day is when you get the whole bag for $8. But my library <i>does</i> get a lot of newer books in excellent condition to sell. We're pretty lucky. <br /><br />nath, that makes sense. <br /><br />Hilcia, more books for the TBR. I can't complain. ;)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-51076330014619582422011-01-30T09:41:56.788-05:002011-01-30T09:41:56.788-05:00Great haul, Christine!

The last time I gave a bag of cookbooks I didn't want anymore and you know... I looked in that section at the sale to see if any of them were still there and they were all gone! I was happy to see they found new homes. <br /><br />Marce, Thanks so much for visiting. I will be by in the morning to join in on <i>The Stormchasers</i> discussion! Sorry I didn't find time to do so today... was busy shoveling tons of snow. Literally. :/<br />Thanks for following me! :) <br /><br />Michelle, I DID rock this sale. Already looking forward to the one in March! LOL! <br /><br />ames, I don't know when I'll get to read <i>Away</i>. I saw it around so much a while ago and was drawn to the cover art, so I grabbed it. :) <br /><br />Brandy, does your library have a "Friends of the Library" type group? If so, maybe you could suggest they organize a used book sale with patron donated books? <br /><br />I'll let you know how <i>Hope In a Jar</i> is when I get to it. Looks fun. <br /><br />Audrey, glad to hear you're enjoying the story! The premise sounds very touching. <br /><br />The Jeanne Ray title is <i>Eat Cake</i>, right? I just searched the author on amazon. That looks like a fun read, too. With recipes for cake, too! :) <br /><br />Thanks for visiting. <br /><br />Sean, book bargains can't get much better than 20c!<br />Garage sales! I hadn't thought about that market.

I was there at the very end for this sale. <br /><br />Do you still own the Agatha Christie collection in Spanish? I will keep an eye out at the next sale for any Agatha Christie books for you. Do you have a list of the ones you're still looking for? <br /><br />I kind of like the quest to collect books from used and or hand me down sources as opposed to new.

And you ...I love the Friends of the Library sales!<br /><br />And you certainly made out like a bandit, woman--go, you.<br /><br />I have all of Agatha Christie's mysteries and am working on getting her few other novels (written under a pseudonym). The thing is, I originally read and owned the Spanish translations, so now I'm in a quest to find them in English. It's a long standing quest, as the book budget is already stretched thin (have you seen how SLWendy is pimping these days?) but I'm in no hurry.<br /><br />I also have the two Nora Roberts's, in the original edition :grin: and while I own a copy of <i>Seducing an Angel</i> I have not been able to get past the first few pages. Weird, because I usually devour Mary Balogh's books.<br /><br />Of the rest... no idea, really.aztecladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857872357667370906noreply@blogger.com
