So I went to a used book store today, and saw they sold David`s books! Here in a used bookstore in norway, where none of the chain bookstores sell them-defently going back to buy them.
also switched to me The Essence (The Pledge, #2) by Kimberly Derting after giving two books to them :D I can finally continue this trilogy!!!

Catherine Bruno | 771 comments I bought a copy of the first Harry Potter book for a student because my only copy was already checked out and then I also picked up P.S. I Still Love You at Barnes and Noble and Always and Forever Lara Jean at Target as birthday presents for myself because my birthday was on Wednesday. I plan on rereading To All the Boys I've Loved Before so now I can binge.

I got Fantastic Beasts The Crimes of Grindelwald - The Original Screenplay by J.K. Rowling today.

I also picked up a copy of One Second After (After, #1) by William R. Forstchen for $1 at the ArtFest in Scottsdale today. I don't think it had been opened before, it was pristine.

And I just got the newest Owl Crate book, but it's too soon to reveal yet. I don't want do a spoiler just in case. I saw a post of last month's entire box before I received mine and refuse to do that to anyone else. 😱

I also did an impulse buy, but at Walmart for $8.48. Dumplin' by Julie Murphy

I just felt like I needed some lighter reading. I just saw the movie trailer, and loved it. I had no idea what the story was about until I saw that.

I haven't bought too many books lately. I'm kind of waiting for Christmas to be over first, I have a stack of advent books to open!!

I did pick up The Civil War of 1812 American Citizens, British Subjects, Irish Rebels, & Indian Allies by Alan Taylor for $5 at Salisbury House in Des Moines yesterday. Hubby and I went for their annual Holiday Home tour. They decorate it all up for Christmas. Its a historic house that was built in the 20s by a rich family. They modeled it off of the King's Home in Salisbury, England. Its like a English Tudor Estate dropped in the middle of Des Moines! Its so beautiful and fun to walk through. The library is definitely the best part. This is one of the titles they have in the collection. All the books in the library are original to the family who owned it and is their personal collections. So a beautiful library full of vintage books, some of them quite rare and valuable. If anyone is ever in Des Moines, I would recommend a visit to this house!

I also grabbed my Kindle First book for December-- The Last of the Stanfields by Marc Levy

And I discovered that Amazon now has a Prime Library where you can "borrow" up to 10 books at a time for Prime members! No additional fees or anything! So I grabbed 10 books of course :)
