I haven't read many of the books you bought, but I enjoy Dennis Lehane's books and I loved the Snow Child. I think the Lehane is the sequel to "Gone Baby, Gone"? I can't remember, I read it awhile ago. Anyway, great selection. I am sure you'll both enjoy your new reading material. Hope you're having a good weekend. :)Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-80391086056405033422014-09-14T08:01:17.402-07:002014-09-14T08:01:17.402-07:00I love books.

I must look for it because I've always been fascinated by Sylvia's life and tragic death….and of course her amazing poetry.<br /><br />Mary -Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-72694737020508316642014-09-13T17:53:13.067-07:002014-09-13T17:53:13.067-07:00I'm always working on the first day of our loc...I'm always working on the first day of our local book sale, so I usually don't go the second day since it's pretty well picked over. Right now I don't have a book to pick up and read at night, so I've got to remedy that on Monday. A trip to the library is definitely in order! Enjoy your trip tomorrow, Melanie, and enjoy your latest book finds!Vickie @ Ranger 911https://www.blogger.com/profile/12847126296813987337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-17653920022532978362014-09-13T07:18:30.297-07:002014-09-13T07:18:30.297-07:00I went to a library sale yesterday too, but it was...I went to a library sale yesterday too, but it was much smaller and just children's books. It is odd when the titles are priced individually, but not as odd as the time I saw one where they were by the inch. You stacked your books on their sides, like your picture, and they had a ruller/price guide that was set next to the pile to figure out the total amount owed. Quirky, but quick.

Do you go into a zombie-like state when you peruse bookstores? I loved doing that back in the day when there WERE bookstores! Never been to a library sale.
