I got them for about $4 each, but they're such bad reads that I didn't even finish the 3rd volume. Worst investment ever! lol

Janelle it was a great time, even in the midst of all of this crap!

Just bought The Institute last week, and this one will probably be an October read along with Imaginary Friend.

Rachel I wish we had a decent library, but we don't, that is what happens I guess when you live in a small town, and I can't see paying a fee to use a library in another town.

oof, i can relate about the small town experience. the library in my town isn't great either, but they do allow me to have books ordered since they have a sort of state-wide network that shares books between different libraries. maybe check in with your library and see if they have something similar?
i actually have the app for my state's library system so i can browse their catalog at home, put a hold on whatever book i want, and they'll mail it to my local library for me to check out. it's pretty great. :)

I just bought an interesting book last week, among others, but this one is great. It is called Wildly Into the Dark: Typewriter Poems and the Rattlings of a Curious Mind. This is such a unique book of poetry and quotes, small stories. I love it.
