ok awesome Kathryn! So you can start on that series. I have The Bone Collector, but not The Coffin Dancer.


message 1254: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments Chris, I am looking forward to reading The Bone Collector since I loved the movie so much. It will be great to have another series to read. I will be starting TBC after I finish Different Seasons. :)

Janie, and the first Kathryn Dance book! I am excited to try out a new author!

Kit★ (xkittyxlzt) | 345 comments Library sale yesterday turned up Raptor Red by Robert T. Bakker , Maia by Richard Adams , and Finding the Way and Other Tales of Valdemar by Mercedes Lackey plus some books for the little guy, and for my friend's kid. Could've prolly got a whole lot more, but I had to take little guy with me, and he didn't really let me look as long and as thoroughly as I wanted too. O well, still got a couple good ones. Plus when I went to Books a Million the day before to get The Twelve (The Passage, #2) by Justin Cronin (not the edition or cover I got but the search thingy's being dumb for me right now) I picked up The Dark Tower, Volume 1 The Gunslinger Born by Robin Furth and Home From the Sea (Elemental Masters, #8) by Mercedes Lackey as well. So I'm happy. Now I just need to restrain myself from buying anymore for the rest of the year... Ha! That's a battle that has a good chance of being lost, lol.

Nah, not crazy. I buy books I remember from my young days all the time. Granted, I put em as my kid's books, but I want to keep em even after he's grown. Books like Go Dog Go and The Fire Cat and the classic Little Golden Books... :) I regret getting rid of all my books from back then, the little kid books and my older kid books too. I had the Black Stallion books and Little House on the Prairie set, and darn near all the first 50 or so Goosebumps books, and so many more... I wish I had them now. So I don't think it's weird at all :D

Kit I can remember my parents getting us this whole set of classic books. They were bound like encyclopedias only just smaller books. Black beauty was one of them along with Tom Sawyer and many more. If I remember correctly it was a set of 10 or 12 books. They were awesome. I have no idea what happened to those books now and it makes me sad. I am sure my mom did something with them.

message 1282: by Rachel (new)

I seldom buy books due to budgetary concerns. I'm 386th in line at the library for Dr. Sleep! So I guess it will be a while!

Nancy Drew yes! My mom had a box of hers she gave me when I was younger, along with a few of my uncle's Hardy Boys books. I gave em back to her when I moved out at 18, and she just sold the whole box at our yard sale last year. I shoulda kept em, lol :)

I know what you mean Kit, I wish I had all mine too. I didn't intentionally get rid of them, they went missing when I moved house :(
