Today I got Haunted, by Meg Cabot. A new Author for me. I also got Dark Emerald, by Lisa Jackson and then The Warrior, by Sharon Sala. Jackson and Sala are 2 of my favorite mystery/suspence writers.

Yes, I started it last night, but as I just posted in another thread, I was having a hard time getting into it.

Yay, I'm so happy that you'll be reading it with us, Lee! I've heard that it's a bit slow at first, but that once you get to Part II, things start picking up.

And I was not even looking. I found it at Book Buyers Used books in Charlotte. That store is HUGE and so overwhelming.. i tried to keep my anxiety in check, but i got confused, grabbed some books and left.

@ Tracy, Thanx. That sounds fantastic; need to see if they have one here. I haven't been to a Salvation army in a long time, but i know of one about 15 miles away. The thrift stores around here don't have books; just the goodwill...

Chris (cbrunner11) | 674 comments I love the box that smiles at me when I walk up to my door. I want to order anything on Amazon just so I could get cool Mail. Bills and junk gets old after awhile.

*GASP* I have not bought a book for about 2 weeks now! But no, I am not weaning myself off of them. hehe!

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments I was just thinking I hadn't bought a book in a while, but actually, I bought two this weekend at the thrift store: The Guy Not Taken: Stories and Goodnight Nobody. Both are by Jennifer Weiner. For 49 cents, why not?

Janie Johnson | 6303 comments Mod
Of course 'why not?' those were great finds Kathryn!


message 131: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments Just got back from the bookstore. I bought these four King books in hardback for a dollar each: Four Past Midnight, Christine, Hearts in Atlantis, and Skeleton Crew. :)


message 132: by Chris (new)

Chris (cbrunner11) | 674 comments Very cool Kathryn, we need better used books stores in Missouri. I just bought I Suck at Girls for my Kindle. It is part of the books under 3.99 for Kindle. It was a steal, and I can't wait to get to it. I really liked his first book Sh*t My Dad Says.

Wow, that is AWESOME, Kathryn!!
I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Hearts In Atlantis.:)


message 134: by Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict (new)

Janie Johnson | 6303 comments Mod
I did not care for Hearts in Atlantis, but then again may not have been what I wanted at the time. Definitely will do a reread on it.


message 135: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments I actually have all King books in paperback, but Mark now is insisting if I find them for a dollar in hardback, to just buy them. I honestly think it is a waste of money...but, if he says so...sure, I guess. lol, I'm just more of a paperback person.


message 136: by Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict (new)

Janie Johnson | 6303 comments Mod
Same Kathryn I love paperback, so much easier for me to manage.


message 137: by Dustin (new)

Dustin | 797 comments I really want to re-read Hearts someday.:)

Lee (leeshirk) | 203 comments Just thought I would share this - I just bought it because it is on one of my challenges for 2013. Legend is on sale today only for Kindle on Amazon for $2.99. If you have it on your list and you are an e-book person may be worth picking up.

Wow Lee that sounds amazing! I could see reading that. Unfortunately I will have to wait on it's purchase. But will be sure to check back into it at another time. Thanks for sharing!


message 146: by Lee (new)

Lee (leeshirk) | 203 comments I have been seeing the book advertised on GR for the last month and it sounds great. Can't wait to read it. But then again I love dystopian, end of the world, apocalyptic type books almost as much as I love horror. LOL


message 147: by Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict (new)

Janie Johnson | 6303 comments Mod
Oh me too Lee, that was why I loved Swan Song so much. Also The Host has kind of that feel. Wipe out the humans and the Aliens take over, it just was not as desperate. But any novels of survival are awesome I think.


message 148: by Dustin (new)

Dustin | 797 comments I also love most apocalyptic stories, and dystopian books are great, too!


message 149: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments I just bought In the Tall Grass by King and Hill, for my Kindle. About to start it now. :)
