OK, the roomie and I decided to take advantage of our unseasonably warm weather today (it was 56!) and took a little road trip. We stopped into 5 different book shops (a Borders, a B&N, a Schuler's, an outlet store and a local store, Nicola's Books) and picked up something at each of them... So much for my laying off buying any new books for awhile!
My purchases for the day:
- Agatha Christie Nemesis
- Anthony Doerr The Shell Collector
- Henry Neff The Tapestry, Book 2: The Second Siege
- Dan Mishkin & Tom Mandrake The Forest King: Woodlark's Shadow
- Rudyard Kipling The Jungle Books
- Kazuo Ishiguro Never Let Me Go
- Brian K. Vaughn & Niko Henrichon Pride of Baghdad
- O. Henry The Gift of the Magi and The Purple Dress
- Doré's London edited by Valerie Purton
The best part? I only paid full price for 2 of those books (
The Tapestry and
The Forest King). The rest were either purchased at the outlet store or on the cheap tables at the stores.
Happy reading!

This is outstanding. I love, in particular, Doerr.
And by that recommendation alone, the Doerr moves to the top of the pile! Thanks, Beth.
This sounds just like something I would do! Haha! It sounds like you came away with some good ones. Enjoy reading them all!
