One (the only???) good thing about my in-laws visiting this weekend was their addiction to finding new junk stores = I found more places to buy books : )
I got Panic by Lauren Oliver today. I'm a little late to to this month's Booksplosion read so hopefully I can join in on the April readalong.
Veronica - glad it's good enough to want to read twice. I had a dead phone so I was going by memory that I thought Native Son was on my to read list. After I read the synopsis I knew I needed to read it.

Nice haul Kelly; you got some good ones!
Nice Haul Kelly! I think it is always great to find a place that sells books! WOOT! Nice Job! heh!
Kit, let us know what you thought of it after you read it. I am trying to get into a little more historical fiction. We will see how I do on that. LOL

Went to Goodwill today to kill some time, I was supposed to go out with one of my workers today but she couldn't make it because her daughter was sick so I had nothing better to do, I bought A Fever In The Heart by Ann Rule and The Broker by John Grisham.

I had the first 3 in the series and sold them to..."OOh no! I love the series. I'm still waiting for the second book to arrive in the mail. Well I can't say the series is for everyone. I ended up picking up the first from a local book store. lol
Oh no worries at all Jessie! I am just glad you like it! We all have different tastes here. Hope you continue to like it!
I went to Goodwill again today and bought a couple more John Grisham books, The Street Lawyer and The Appeal, I contemplated buying one or the other but they both sounded good so I bought both of them.
I just bought the first 'season' of 'Yesterdays Gone'. It's only available as en ebook, but it was only 74 pence! (or $1.22). I've only read the first couple of chapters, and I'm already hooked. :D https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Corey glad you found some good books at the good will. I love going there to look for books, and it is so hard leaving without any! LOL
Ashleigh you gotta love sales on the e books! I go and look occasionally and sometimes find some good ones!

I both love and hate them. I already have more books than I can read, but these sales entice me to buy more. :P
Went to a Goodwill tonight in hopes I'd score big. Well, ended up with two for myself,
and
. But found like 10 books for the kiddo, so it was ok, if not as satisfying as I'd hoped :p

Well Ashleigh, the way I look at it, you will never run out of things to read! The more I have the happier I am and I am thinking my mind will not change on that anytime soon either! LOL Enjoy the sales.

Yeah I saw on your list you have some books by Ann Rule, have you read A Stranger Beside Me, the book about Ted Bundy? That's a book I really want to read.
Holly have you actually started reading Jonathan Kellerman's books? I just started collecting his books with the help of my sister. LOL If you have read them let me know how you like his writing style.

I really like his writing style. Have you read any of his books?
I've read a couple of his novels that aren't Alex Delaware ones, and I enjoy them too.
A great author!
