Book Sale #1: Day 1

[katekintailbc]

On another of my LJs I usually make a list of all the books I've bought at the two major book sales I go to each year. I figure now that I have a book-related LJ, it's more appropriate to list all that here :-)

I kept running into books that I'd just read through BookCrossing rings and since no one else wanted them at the sale, I shall take them, register them with my comments, and set them free again.

Book Sale #1: Day 1-

• The Secret Life of Bees (Audio-CD, Unabridged)

• A Traveller's History of Scotland


• Little House in the Highlands (Read, then... maybe BookCross. But keep if I like it, and I bet I will)


• The Sorcerer's Companion: A Guide to the Magical World of Harry Potter (Oversized paperback. Yay! *crosses this off my wish list*)


• What Will Happen in Harry Potter 7 (Oversized paperback. Everyone else seems to have a copy)


• Empire Building: The Remarkable Real Life Story of Star Wars (Neato!)

So, by my count, that's 41 books for only $30. And more than a handful of those were audio books, and the rest were mostly hardcovers or oversized paperbacks. Seriously, at less than $1 each, for this lot, that totally makes my day!

Looking forward to Day 1 of the other library sale tomorrow morning. And, of course, the bag sales on Saturday and Sunday where I'll get bunches of books for BookCrossing. First day books are usually all for me me me but it was a nice balance this time :-) Though I'm definitely excited about the Fantastic Five GN and the HP books.
