    Default What books have you bought this week?

    "The Pilo Family Circus" by, Will Elliott

    Clowns & horror.....wait, that's what I thought when I was 5 years old!

    Insomnia and The Dark Half used HC editions from the local library. $3 each. They make nice reading copies and are perfect to loan out to family and friends.

    I found hardback editions of Bag of Bones, The Stand uncut, and Drood at the local half price bookstore. I'm very happy. Last week, I made a Borders trip and spent an arm and a leg on paperback copies of Pet Sematary, The Dark Half, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and a Dave Sedaris book.

    Bop, I'm jealous you find cool books at your library sale!! I never find anything cool in the bins at mine!

    You know, it's funny (or odd) but I have three county libraries within a 10 minute drive in three different directions. All of them have book sales going at various times. I usually make the circuit to all three each weekend just to glance through what's available.

    Where I live is quite populated so there's always a library, school, or police/fire department around every corner. My tax dollars hard at work.

    I haven't bought any books for myself this week, but I ordered several for my daughter through the school's Scholastic book club. She's just like mom the way she likes her books.

    jack ketchum the girl next door, ed mcbain three blind mice, and thomas mcguane the cadence of grass. all used but in fair condition, maybe there's a booger on page three, or something, but if i read fast and the stories good, as i suspect each will be, i can ignore that. the same store had some hc sk. have them in worn-out pb. maybe i ought to go back.
