Today marked the first day of my local library's fall Used Book Sale! Woohoo! Despite getting up before the crack of dawn to commute into the city for a meeting today, I summoned the energy to peruse the rows of cheap books this evening when I got back. (True story: I just typed beaks instead of books. Weird. Did I mention that I'm tired?)
I controlled myself pretty well I think. I only bought seven books, five hardcover and two trade paperback. Granted, I don't really have a shelf to put them on... Buying another bookcase is on my list of things to do. Probably I should just donate some of my books to the used book sale. I digress.
Here are my finds in no particular order (actually this is how they are currently stacked on my coffee table):
Juliet by Anne Fortier (hardcover) - I really liked this book when I read it earlier this year.
Blessings by Anna Quindlen (hardcover) - On my TBR
Bleachers by John Grisham (hardcover) - On my TBR
Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides (trade paperback) - On my TBR
The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory (trade paperback) - I haven't read anything by Gregory before, but I have seen this movie. For a buck, it seemed like a good escape read for the future.
Finding Peace: God's Promise of a Life Free from Regret, Anxiety, and Fear by Charles Stanley (hardcover) - I really enjoy Stanley's teaching and I haven't read this particular book.
Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference? by Philip Yancey (hardcover) - I haven't read any Yancey yet, but I've heard good things.
Many other books caught my eye. However, I was 99% sure I already owned them, so I didn't grab them up. Clearly, I have a problem.
