They had just put out a bunch of books for sale and I grabbed up a bunch. Kinsey got 4 kids books at $.25 each and a hard cover Science Yearbook for $1.

I got Danielle Steel's The House on Hope Street in hard cover for $1

The rest are soft/paper backs for $.25

A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley
Drowning Ruth by Christina Schwarz (Oprah book club)
Delta Wedding by Eudora Welty
The Pagoda by Patricia Powell
Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigiani
The Second Assistant by Clare Naylor and Mimi Hare
The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberer

They also had A Million Little Pieces. I kept debating weather to get it or not. Any comment on it or any of the others??
So for a total of $4.75 I got a bunch of new books and a few books for Kinsey.

Decisions decisions....what should I read first????

I read A Million Little Pieces and was so moved by it, believing every word was true. I bought his 2nd book too and couldn't put it down, cried and cried, bla bla bla. I was SO mad when I found out he fabricated it. I'm not sure whether I would recommend it or not.

Sorry, that's a pretty useless answer, huh?

This is pretty much where I stand, although I wasn't mad that it was fabricated, but that it's STILL listed as a memoir, and not a fictional book like it should be (it's in the bibliography section of our library ). It is still an excellent book and I would recommend reading it just for the reading of it being so good, but it is a fictional story, not a play-by-play of his addiction.

Library book sales are the best! I am simply amazed at the volume of books that are donated to the library I work at. It is an all day stream of people. Last summer I scored about 50 kids books for all three kids. As an employee I got first dibs and they were all FREE!
