Book Sale #1: Day #1

I took off work today and went to my local library book sale. Not a great selection this year, and I bought too many "expensive" nonfiction books. But not too bad because I found a few books on my wish list!

• Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Unabridged Audio- Cassettes for BookCrossing)


• He's Just Not that Into You (Unabridged Audio- CDs)


• The Arthurian Omen (Unabridged Audio- CDs)


• Sorrow on Sunday (for BookCrossing)


• Fifth Quarter by Tanya Huff (for BookCrossing- for my KS if she wants it!)


• A Series of Unfortunate Events #9: The Carnivorous Carvival (wasn't sure which I was missing. I have this so it's for BookCrossing)


• If Life is a Bowl of Cherries- What Am I Doing in the Pits (for BookCrossing)


• Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (SO pretty-sparkey title!- for BookCrossing)


• The LOST Chronicles (With DVD)


• Guinevere by Norma Lorre Goodrich (Oversized paperback)


• Merlin by Norma Lorre Goodrich (Oversized paperback)


• Kingdom Hearts Vol 2 (manga)


• The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales (Oversized paperback; to compare to my version)


• Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening (Hardcover; I've been eyeing this in the children's dept for a while; now I have my own!)


• The Highwayman (Hardcover; so beautiful)


• The Witches and Wizards of Oberin (Hardcover; graphic novel)


• Beowulf (Graphic novel in beautiful condition)


• Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (Graphic novel; WHOOHOO! Now all I need is Episode I!)


• The Klingon Dictionary (I couldn't resist!)


• The Authorized Biography of Gene Roddenberry Star Trek Creator (Hardcover)


• Irish Wonders (Oversized paperback)


• A Book of Days for the Literary Year (Hardcover)


• The City of Ember (Oversized paperback. I'm earreading this now at work. Loving it and now I have my own copy!)


• Neverwhere (lovely, almost perfect paperback edition!)


• The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer: My Life at Rose Red (I've been wanting to read this for YEARS! SQUEE!)


• Peter Puck: Love That Hockey Game! (oldtime Hanna-Barbera cartoon book)


• Open Net (hardcover) Was on my wish list!!!!!!!!!!!


• The Dr Who Annual (Hardcover. From 1965. And SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!)

So I bought 28 books for $61. Not that great, but I was going for quality over quantity today. It was the $13 of audio books that killed me. But they're all such lovely books-- how did I live without them before? heehee I'm SO excited about Rose Red & Open Net, both of which were on various Wish Lists of mine. And the Star Wars graphic novel was an especially cool find. I was over the moon about the Dr Who Annual, though. I have the first story already in pdf because they released it on one of the DVDs of season 2 or 3 episodes (the Zarbi storyline). It was so great to see it in the original volume and now there are a bunch of other stories to read, too! Totally rocks my world :-)

EDIT:
Meep! I forgot 4 other books I bought there!

• Choose Your Own Adventure #4: Space and Beyond (I'll be keeping this because I don't have it already)


• Choose Your Own Adventure #20: Escape (For the BookCrossing Convention)


• Choose Your Own Adventure #62: Sugarcane Island (For the BookCrossing Convention)


• Choose Your Own Adventure #123: Silver Wings (For the BookCrossing Convention)

So 32 for $61.
