I love Half Price Books! I've been going to the local store for about a year, ever since I moved to where I now live.. it's amazing. Such a great selection, and cheap. I've got some links to their websites and their partner website (deletecensorship.org) on my blog... and I see you picked up Their Eyes Were Watching God! That was one of the banned books I discussed in last week's Saturdays, Uncensored! poste. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat picks I must say.

ReplyDeleteOryx and Crake is great!!!! Can't wait to read what you think of it :-)
ReplyDeleteHalf-priced books are the best! I'm hanging out for a huuuge second-hand booksale that's on next weekend...can't wait! Cheap books ;-)
ReplyDeleteA whole store dedicated to half price books - where do I go to find this magical place!?
ReplyDeleteRoof Beam, Thanks for letting me know I'll check it out. I haven't read any Hurston ever and it's one of those things I know I should.
ReplyDeleteMan, Thanks!
Red, Yeah it's a pretty great store. Maybe there is one around you? Check their website listed below.
Becky, I'm looking forward to it. I love Atwood.
Booksploring, Good to know! I try never to buy full-priced. I read so much it gets too expensive!
Reede, http://www.halfpricebooks.com/
They have a lot of stores but they aren't in every state.
I'm definitely going to look around for some discount stores. Hopefully I can load up on some new finds.
ReplyDeleteThere's an award for your on my blog!
I'm jealous! :) Love that pile you purchased - some great reads in there. Looking forward to your reviews of them.
ReplyDeleteHi Brenna...just came across your blog; it's great! By the looks of this book stack, I think we have similar tastes in books. Enjoy them all.
ReplyDeleteGreat picks and I completely agree. Half Priced Books is so wonderful... though my husband and our sagging bookshelves might not agree with me.
