I love the movie, but have never read the actual book, so I figured I might as well.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Looking forward to our Neverendng story read. Hope I can get through it. Not my type of genre to read, but the movies were amazing.

I like fantasy - and I agree I loved the movie, that is why I want to read the book.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

I am sure it will be great. And I have you and Kathryn to push me through it.

[Kathryn]

Yeah, you know how typically the movie isn't as good as the book? Well, the movie is soooooooooo good, so it makes me wonder how the book stacks up to the movie. It's a short book, too. But, I have a feeling if the movie was made from the book, it should be a good read then. Or I at least hope so. :)

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Yea it will be awesome either way to be reading a classic like this!

I have yet to get that, and am determined to before the end of the year. i absolutely loved the movie. Did the movie follow closely with the book?

the book was good Janie; but I was kinda young when i read it... i think my 20s!!

hehehehe

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Hehe Alondra, this will be my first time for this book, so looking forward to it and yet a little reserved too. The movie was excellant IMO. I loved it, but can't compare it to the book yet.

i know. i hate when movies happen before the books for me. i had no idea; just like the Neverending Story.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

I did not know there was a book lol

[Chris]

Well I got lucky and Amazon is having a monthly feature of ebooks for 3.99 or less. I just bought the Kindle edition of The Gun Seller for 1.99, and The Girl Next Door for 2.99. It was such a deal I jumped on it fast.

[Kathryn]

Recently, I've bought Holes, The Neverending Story, Wintergirls, and Rosemary's Baby. :)

Went to Goodwill yesterday and got a shiny, almost-new paperback of It (I have two hardbacks of it, but now I want to get all my SK's in pb too for a reading copy so I can leave my hardbacks all nice lol), and also got Midnight Magic, The Two Princesses of Bamarre, Castaways of the Flying Dutchman, and a western-ish sounding one that has hardly any reviews or ratings here on GR, Wildcatting.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Oh a nice find for you Kit on the IT book! Gratz!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

4. The Long Walk
5. Red Dragon

[Lee]

That's great Janie, The Outsiders is one of my favorite books of all time. Even though it is not in my preferred genre I love it. Some books are just amazing, and it is one of them.

Glad you got some new books! New books always make me happy, but I bet you are ecstatic finding 6! Just finding one always puts a smile on my face.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Lee, YES! I loved the movie and last year my daughter read this for her english class and she got me interested in reading it! SO I had to buy it.

Yea Kathryn for sure! Hub was great helping me find them today. I think he is the one thst found the ones I had on my list which was 3 of them. LOL When I get there I can never stop looking for more.

On my way to the supermarket today I passed two thrift stores. I stopped in briefly to scan the shelves and picked up these books for $5 total.


The Broken Window by Jeffery Deaver
Guilty as Sin: A Novel by Tami Hoag
No Time for Goodbye by Linwood Barclay
One Breath Away by Heather Gudenkauf
The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror by Christopher Moore

So I am having a good day, Yep!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Wow great finds Tracy!

[Kit★]

Went to the other Goodwill yesterday, the one that had empty shelves last time I was there, and this time they were loaded with great ones! I sadly had to put about 8 books back because I didn't have enough money. Got Ilium, Burning Bright, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, The Black Gryphon, The Help, and The Slippery Slope (in the Unfortunate Events series. I've been working on collecting them in hardback for 2 years now, just going by what I've found at G.W. I was down to only needing #8 and #10 to finish my set, and this one's #10, I was psyched!). Plus got the kid an Elmo book and a Curious George book. It was a good haul... If I woulda had more money, I would've gotten a lot more, they had so many good ones this time, it was killin' me... :)

[[deleted user]]

Great haul, Kit! Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH and The Help area both especially outstanding books!

[Holly]

I've just realized that I haven't bought any books in quite awhile!!!!
The last one I got was 1Q84.......what's wrong with me?!?!?! Lol

[Veronica]

I purchased Plum Island for my Nook. It was on sale for $.99 last week. And I am so glad I did because it went back up to $8.99. This was a steal.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Ok so today I went to the UBS again and got some more book. I got:
1)Red #2 and White #3 of the Circle series, by Ted Dekker. (Need Black #1 and Green #4 still)
2) Nightmares & Dreamscapes. Stephen King
3) Carrie, Stephen King
4) The Wolves of Calla, #5 of the Dark Tower (Yay I have them all now!)
5) Intensity, Dean Koontz (Got it for $1, could not pass it up!)

So I had a good day with books!

[Alondra]

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

I'm so VERY happy for you, Janie!!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Thanks Dustin!

[Dustin]

You are so very welcome, Janie!!

[Alondra]

hit the bookstores and cleaned house. at first i was disappointed, because i only found 1 or 2 books and some favorite UBSs; but then The Book Rack (in Charlotte) and the Goodwill next to it, did not disappoint.

**(You always hit the Goodwill prior to going in your favorite UBS. Why pay $5 when you can pay $1??)

I picked up a total of 31 books today for about $40. Including 10 Agatha Christie; Adam, The Giver, Moloka'i, Gorky Park and quite a few others.

I also had Starbucks, which also helps.. :D

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Oh nice Alondra!! Sounds great. And you got Adam!!!

[Alondra]

Janie wrote: "Oh nice Alondra!! Sounds great. And you got Adam!!!"

Great score Alondra!

Goodwill (charity shops) are the best place for books I always check our local Hospital Aux. Thrift Store first, HB books are .50c and often are on 1/2 price. People donate brand new books. Crazy, but good for bookhounds!
