Books on the Nightstand discussion

What are the most recent books added to your collection, whether bought, traded, or library books?

Actually, at the end of the day yesterday- which was quite bad indeed- I ended up at the bookstore to de-stress. While there I saw two books I really wanted -- -- but put aside in the hopes I will get them for Christmas.

What I did get were either in theme with the upcoming Spook-themed month, or ones I had wanted and managed to find on sale.


I'm very excited to start reading them. What about you? What have you recently procured?

i went to my local borders( in the final days) and found the following books at 70% off:

I went into Barnes and Noble yestarday and picked up

and I got an ebook last night

I've been a little bad this month...
My excuse is our winter vacation plans were ruined by a broken down furnace AND washing machine, so I got some Fall/Winter reading instead :-)

I have my own personal library of books to read - I could live at Books A Million or Barnes and Noble - These are my recent purchases The Butterfly CabinetThe Girl On Legare StreetThe Weight of SilenceThe Book of SpellsPlain JanePlain Truth

Just bought the Nook version of "Olive Kitteridge" for book group. I almost bought "The Submission" on my Nook, but decided to get on the waiting list at the library instead. Trying to decide what my next paper print book I buy will be.

Today I got an amazing deal in a second hand store I got:




All these for €3, they were worth €9 :)

Both of these look like really good books, let us know what you think of them. ^_^

I just bought a book I think my husband will enjoy, it was a recommendation from The Concord Bookshop, .

Just did my absolute favorite type of shopping yesterday...library book sale!!! I love the no holds barred approach that you can take when books are two quarters each!

Picked up two Chris Bohjahlian books, Moo by Jane Smiley, Bombadiers by Po Bronson, couple romances by an author I'd been meaning to check out, couple Bob the Builder books for my son.

Shadow Song: Shadow Song by Terry Kay, The Children's Hospital , Pretty Little Liars and another spare copy of Bridget Jones's Diary.

Yay!

Today was the day I have been waiting on for sooooo long. Bought The Night Strangers and When She Woke. Two books I can't wait to read :)

I love a bargain...that's why my house is overflowing...lol. But book sales are great for backlist!

I grabbed an autographed copy of The Night Strangers this weekend... couldn't resist!

So it was my off day and I decided to make a run by two used bookstores- one of which i hated, because seriously, their rules on trades and store credit as too complicated to the point that while I have tons of store credit, I have never gotten to use any of it. If the book is likely to sell well even though it's older or anything 'popular' like Harry Potter, you can't use store credit, nor can you use it on literary classics, recent arrivals, or books that aren't in the same genre of books you brought it. It irritates the fire out of me.

But I still found some great finds, three at the bookstore I like, and several at the bookstore i hate because i can't ever use my store redit.


And I think that's it. I swear these books will take up a whole shelf just by themselves. The Tad Williams ones are all around 800 pgs. A couple were grabbed as Christmas presents.

Today I bought and I also bought all the Jane Austin novels in one leather bound book for the best price ever €2.50 couldn't leave it there :)

Oh wow. Great find on the Jane Austin. Nice.

I know I'm still smiling about it,I went to a book shop down the rd and asked how much would all the Jane Austin books cost me? Assistant said € 30 or more so happy when I realized how much I saved :)

I just received thru my book club ,

Do ebooks count?

I didn't purchase any of this but all this found it's way to my doorstep for my birthday. Along with a new Nook touch I received It was a book lovers dream. I am set for awhile. Hopefully unitl Christmas.
