Ok so I took some books in that I did not want anymore and got a nice credit and walked out with more books no cash out of pocket yay! So anyway here is what I got The Pillars of the Earth, I just got Fall of Giants this summer so I figured I would get that one. Also got Down the Darkest Road, Gone for Good, and I was super excited because I discovered a new Author Alison Gaylin and I found her 2 books today as well, And She Was, & Into the Dark.

Glad you are both enjoying it. Yay Lee you will be ready for The Twelve then when we get to it in November! I have to say that The Passage made it to my top favorites for the year.

I have a special plan for that come the beginning of 2014. So keep an eye out guys and also keep a metal list of your own favorites for 2013.

I think we stopped at the same point! I got to read a little bit on the ferry ride this morning, but can't wait to finish up with work so I can get home and read today. This book has really captured my attention more than the other 3 I have started this week.

nice haul Janie :) read The Third Victim before The Next Accident- gardner is a good thriller writer- those 2 books are part of her fbi profiler series (aka quincy & rainie)- I enjoyed both books- hope you like them.

Janie Johnson | 6303 comments Mod
Yes Kathryn! But I never thought to look for House of Leaves. Go figure right? Oh well maybe the next time.

Rachel thanks! Yea I got them off the sales rack, and I knew I had Gardner listed on my phone so I snagged them for $1. I came home and looked it up, go figure I did not get #1 eh? Its ok I will look for that one next time.

the first one is a great book but quincy only has a small part in the story and rainie isn't even in it- not really sure why she counts it as the first book. that said it's an awesome thriller-really fast paced and intense. The Perfect Husband


message 1246: by Chris (new)

Chris (cbrunner11) | 674 comments Haven't been able to buy books in a long time, but tonight my wife wanted to see Maggie Stiefvater at our library. She has read all of her books except the one that came out this week, but she has always gotten them from the library. Tonight I bought the new book on hardback so my wife could get it signed. Had to support out local small book store. I bought The Dream Thieves. I'm also excited because my preorder of Doctor sleep should ship soon because it is set to arrive at my door Tuesday when it's released.

Chris I think that is great that you guys got to go to the book signing and see Maggie Stiefvater. And then an extra treat to buy a book and have it signed. Awesome!
