Bi-annual FOL Buck a Bag Sale Update

Hehe. Ok so I have worked at the Friends BS a year and have avoided 3 major Buck a bag sales. I went to this one only b/c I had an order on hold waiting for me at the BS. I am in a reading challenge to read books to movies. I choose all S.King books b/c I:

a] never read his books
b] know about all his books are movies

Here is my take:


All for $4.00

[BJ Rose]

Wow! Kenjii, that's quite a haul!
Will be interested to see what you think of Shadow Game - I love Feehan's GhostWalkers series.

The Green Mile is good and isn't a thriller like so many of his are. It's good, just long. It's a chunky chunkster.
