Wow! I think Anne wins the prize! What a great haul. :)

I tried! We were pulling into the shopping mall to shop at Trader Joe's in Vegas. It's a must-do any time we go to Vegas with my sister. I spotted a used bookstore in the same mall. It was a no brainer for me. I jumped out and spent the entire time in there. The owner even took me next door to their "annex" and let me rummage through their stock that hasn't been moved to the store.

I ended up with:
Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage
Out of Africa
A Town Like Alice
and Cemetery Dance

I was hoping to find more of books on my world tour list there, but wasn't successful. After a while, I said that I'd better head back to the store and pay for my purchases because my husband would likely be walking in the door asking, "Is there a woman hiding in the shelves somewhere?" We walked out the door and I saw my husband walking towards us. "See, what did I tell you!" LOL! I could have spent hours in there.

Thanks Janice. It's a little embarrassing, but I've been back since and bought more books. Can you see me blushing?

[Janice, Moderator]

Yes, Anne. Your avatar is bright red! :)

I know... I thought that too when I realized that both books had a "garden" in the title! LOL

I just picked up several audiobooks from Audible's $4.95 sale: Skippy Dies (which I also have as a paper book), The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives, Master and Commander, and The Filter Bubble. Plus I, Claudius for my sweetie.

I debated about Master and Commander and I, Claudius. Then I decided to give my Visa a break and downloaded [book:11/22/63|12035084] using a credit.

I'm saving my credit in case nobody gives me 1Q84 for Hanukkah!

I decided to read that book rather than listen to it. 1Q84 is 49 hours long.

I found another sale. This one is at Amazon for kindle users:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html...


I bought The Moviegoer by Walker Percy, The Fountain Overflows and The Birds Fall Down by Rebecca West, The Confessions of Nat Turner by William Styron
and by Leon Uris, QB VII, Mitla Pass and Armageddon.

All of them are lending-enabled!

I have ads blocked so I couldn't say who advertises here (one too many ads that behaved badly made me kill the lot). GR has several audiobook groups where people point out the sales. I quit one after WeRead4You responded to a complaint I made in a thread by seeking out my identity here and figuring out my account information with them, so caveat emptor, but Audible has not engaged in such overeager identity stalking.

[Anne]

Thank you, Judy.

[Janice, Moderator]

*runing out to check out the sale yelling "CHARGE IT"*

[Janice, Moderator]

I restrained myself and just bought two: Swan Song and The Wolf's Hour.

[Anne]

Good job, Janice.

[Janice, Moderator]

Perhaps. :)

[Janice, Moderator]

Must I frame my answer in the form of a question?

[Janice, Moderator]

I just got an update from Goodreads of the books that you have marked as "to read". I didn't see any with animals in the title. Hmmmm..... LOL!

[Michelle]

Another trip to Half Price Books (even though I haven't started any of the books I bought on my last trip...shh....) Here's what I got (all on clearance, $2 /book!!)




and last but not least...


Happy Reading!!

[Janice, Moderator]

It looks like a great haul Michelle. It's a good thing someone is keeping the moderators in line and getting the thread back to topic. :)

Happy reading Michelle, good for you !!!

[Michelle]

Dem,
Thank you for supporting me in my book addiction! :)

[Mikki]

It was a lot but they were on sale! It's Anne's fault...

[Sue]

Yep...Anne led us down the garden path, or was it the library walkway. Oh well. It was a fun trip.

[Anne]

Mikki and Sue: all I can say is hahahahahahaha.

[Sue]

I did say it was fun!!!

[Anne]

Sue wrote: "I did say it was fun!!!"

I know. And it was, right Mikki?

[Mikki]

Anne wrote: "Sue wrote: "I did say it was fun!!!"

Yep, it most definitely was and it will be even more fun opening the box upon arrival.

[Anne]

BTW, Mikki, the books won't get to you for at least two weeks. They come from Canada via Media Mail.

[Janice, Moderator]

Oh, well if they're coming from Canada, they're coming on the dog sled team so don't be looking for them in any hurry. :)

[Mikki]

Okay, good to know, so I'll just keep whittling away at my TBR pile.

Sho, this books looks great and I've added it to my TBR shelf (Quiet Janice and Anne).

Ha. Exactly, Janice. They haven't even processed one of my orders yet.

[Anne]

Mikki: "Sho, this books looks great and I've added it to my TBR shelf (Quiet Janice and Anne). "

What? We've been talking about it all morning.

[Janice, Moderator]

I can't say anything Mikki. I've been shopping myself.

I was awarded $10.00 from Audible (for buying 4 or more audiobooks), so I bought Gideon's Sword. I had to pay $3.99 over and above the $10.00 coupon.

[Mikki]

Do most of you read to music? I seem to read best in complete silence.

Me too, Mikki."

Me three.

[Kimberly]

Well I bought the kindle version yesterday and though I didn't buy i I recieved for free in the mail today.

[Janice, Moderator]

Was that a giveaways win, Kimberly?

[Kimberly]

Nope, I got it via Booksneeze so I can review it on my blog. It looks really,really, really cute.

For me it varies. I really like to read in silence, but if I'm getting some noise from a neighbor, even though it's not loud, it distracts me. Then I put on music or HGTV as background to help me concentrate.

You can't go wrong with those prices, Kimberly. I love the covers of some of those books.
