Just got home from Anderson's where I got Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library and The Island of Dr. Libris both autographed by Chris Grabenstein.

Got quite lucky at a library bag sale. One dollar for all of this!
and 16 out of 20 from this set
I did quite a bit of shopping today. Some groceries, some clothes, and of course, some books. Turned out, I was able to buy three pairs of pants for the price of one, so what did I do with the money I saved? I spent it on books, of course! I came home with:

arrived from Thriftbooks.
Ready Player One was awesome, absolutely awesome! A great read for those who love sci-fi and dystopias, but even cooler for those who grew up in the 80s and will know what all those certain video games and movies and tv shows references mean. A five-star read.
I'm off to a nice start:A win from Goodreads Giveaway:

I know what you mean, the only reason I'm three books ahead at the moment is thanks to a couple of graphic novels. :-)
Don't mean to be bragging, but I just wanted to share another major milestone for me. With the books I picked up this weekend, I now have more than 7000 items in my library. It might currently only be 7001 to be exact, but that is more than 7000! ;-) I wonder how long, or maybe how short, it will take me to add another 999. :-)
A couple of nice used deliveries:
