newest »
I'm in for ten. I might have too many library sale finds on my shelves :-)
5/101. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (Savers $3.49)
2. Twilight Eyes (not sure where I got it)
3. Black Seconds (Library book sale)
4. Aunt Dimity and the Deep Blue Sea (Goodwill, .69)
5. Ordeal by Innocence (Library book sale, .50)
I will try to go for 5!And just to be sure, second hand books we found or that were gifted to us count as well?
@Irphen Both for found and gifted: The book should be second hand to begin with. So for example a new book bought by a friend and given to you new for your birthday is not second hand and would not count. If that friend would read a book or buy a second hand book and a while later she would gift it to you, it would be second hand.
