XD I love book shopping at Goodwill. Due to being basically broke, cheap books at Goodwill help. The other day, there was like a brand new hard back Mockingjay book for three dollars! I flipped through it, and there were no torn pages or bent pages--it was, like, perfect. Sadly, I didn't buy it... :(

City of Bones was hardback, and in very, very good condition. Just Listen was only slightly worn, but it was still a very good deal. City of Bones was $3.00 and Just Listen was only 50 cents!

Julia Griffis - The Romance Bibliophile (theromancebibliophile) I just purchased the Kindle edition of Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. I'm really looking forward to reading it!


message 72: by Simmaron (new)

Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments It's really good Julia. I'm on Beautiful Darkness book #2. I finished #1 day before yesterday. The atmosphere of the book was really good and dark. A southern gothic tale which is a bit haunted in its own style. I hope you enjoy reading it.
I ordered paperback copies of Obsidian by JLA and The Statistical Probability of Love At First Sight. :)

I hope I like it too:) The description sounds really good, so I have high hopes!


message 77: by Simmaron (new)

Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments But it's kinda love/hate book. Many loved it but many didn't. They simply hated it. Although it was a good read for me. I'm planning to complete the series.


ali  ᵏᵉᵉᵖ ʸᵒᵘʳ ᵐᵒᵘᵗʰ ˢʰᵘᵗ (time_wont_fly) I really liked it. (The movie ruined it, in my opinion, though. .-.)

Yeah as far as book-to-movie adaptations go, the books are usually better. I HATED The Lightning Thief.


ali  ᵏᵉᵉᵖ ʸᵒᵘʳ ᵐᵒᵘᵗʰ ˢʰᵘᵗ (time_wont_fly) O.O Me too. I hope the next movie is better...

F.F. McCulligan | 7 comments I just picked up Highway in the Blood by Kevin Macneil Brown. I haven't gotten it in the mail yet, but I can't wait. The protagonist is a badass steel guitar player who returns home to his native Vermont. I'm a Vermonter and I love Brown's poetic descriptions of the landscape that paint the mood of his main character, who solves a crime and hopefully gets some action.

So I just got overwhelmed by books at the shop and I was all like, "Damn it I'm buying these" and so I bought Paper Towns by John Green and Looking for Alaska by John Green
