Nice Haul Susan! The libraries seem to sell a lot of great books.

[✨Susan✨]

Thanks Janie, I was so glad to see some thing at Barnes and Nobel on sale that I was actually interested in adding to my library. Most of the time they are books I would not read. So.. Yay. The Poe book is large and just a lovely addition.

Great additions! Everytime I see a sale at B&N, it's for books I already have (or some I've decided I don't wan/need.)

[✨Susan✨]

I know...for sure. Usually me too. Just got lucky. Are you still stranded?

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Susan my Poe book is this one: . I got it from Recycled Books for $6 I thought it was a great price and was happy to find it.

[Angie]

I've bought three new cookbooks and one of them is called Jerusalem which has all types of middle eastern food. I can't wait to experiment with new recipes. Susan, nice haul!!

[Kathryn]

Angie, I'm on my way over to your house to eat. Well, if I could get out of the snow. Haha!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

I keep saying I wanna try new foods myself. One of these days I will.

[Lauren]

Today I bought Labor Day and Night Film

[✨Susan✨]

Loved Night Film

[Kathryn]

Received confirmation Night Film shipped today! Yay!

[Lauren]

I can't wait to get started on it, it has really mixed reviews. I'd like to know what you both think of it when you read it :)

[GeneralTHC]

I love Poe. I've have a super old anthology of his short stories. I've been meaning to download the audiobook for them from Audible: Edgar Allan Poe - The Complete Short Stories

In my top 8 from last year. A little crazy... So good.

Chuck I love Poe too, I always have! My favorites are The Tell Tale Heart, The Pit and the Pendulum, and The Raven. He has such great talent. Now I wanna go read The Tell Tale Heart.

His writing flow's like a beautiful harp. Nice book Janie. A Steal at $6. The one I got is like a coffee table book. The illustrations are amazing.

[✨Susan✨]

You scored. Two free books, you are lucky.

[Sam]

I have just been to the library for my niece but returned with

A special edition of The Shining from Subterranean Press (was waiting for me when I got home after being snowbound in my hotel for two days!):




This one turned out darker than I wanted :-(:

Where did you get that? Was it expensive?

[Rachel]

i love your book collection, squire! where do you find such incredible editions?

[Lucy]

I bought Duma Key and Pet Sematary today :)

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Wow Squire awesome! Are those yours?

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

So today I finally went to the UBS it has been awhile. So here is what I got.

The Stone Monkey
Devious
Something Wicked
Northern Lights
LoveSick
When Heaven Weeps Duplicated, but this cover is better.
Thunder of Heaven
Beautiful Creatures Finally got original cover
Mrs. Miracle
On a Snowy Night
Brave Story

I also have a book outlet order coming! YAY!

[Squire]

The "special" editions have to be preordered up to a year in advance of publication (sometimes longer) and a lot of them sell out prepublication. I find them by scouring small specialty press sites such as:

Cemetery Dance Publications
Subterranean Press
Thunderstorm Books
Dark Regions Press
Earthling Publications
PS Publishing

The best way to get word of them is to sign up for their newsletters.

Warning: the editions can get expensive (The Shining was $95). Cemetery Dance currently has a Signed/Limited edition of Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn available for pre-order for $75. Expensive, but it will be a beauty! This offer has been up for 5 or 6 days, so it may not last too much longer.

[Squire]

Thanks, Janie. And VERY additons from UBS.

I'm a slow reader, so I don't mind spending gobs of cash (that I don't always have) on nice shelf copies of books I've already read and reread. But I buy these special editions to be read as well. So the next time I read The Shining, that's the copy that I'll read!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

I just love that fairytale look to the book. We don't get to see that as much anymore. You are very fortunate to find them Squire and I am a little jelly. ;)
