PURCHASED
Ok, so I went to my library book sale TWICE, once on half-price day and again on $3 box day!
I'm just going to list the books that I got on half-price day for now because I went a little overboard on $3 box day and got way too many books. I'll save them for next week.


My half-price day haul. I got 17 books and 4 movies (not pictured) for $15! 



 1. Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke - hardcover - I already own a copy of this in paperback but this was a perfect hardcover copy so I couldn't pass it up for a dollar! 
2. Legacy of the Drow Omnibus by R.A. Salvatore - hardcover - Once upon a time I owned this book but a bf stole it. It has all 4 books in this series. 
3. The Arrivals by Melissa Marr - hardcover - I've seen this cover a lot in past years so I got it even though I have no idea what it's about. Anybody read it? 
4. Rampant by Diana Peterfreund - hardcover - This one is about killer unicorns! Kind of corny, but I loved unicorns when I was little.


5. Sword Quest by Nancy Yi Fan - hardcover - This the prequel to the Swordbird series and was written by a 12 year old! Perfect addition my my middle-grade collection for my daughter.
6. The House of Secrets by Christopher Columbus & Ned Vizzini - hardcover - I've been wanting to read this series ever since this book released.
7. The Austere Academy by Lemony Snicket - hardcover - I've been slowly collecting these for my daughter and also so I can read them sometime.
8. The Vile Village by Lemony Snicket - hardcover - This was a library binding copy with the sticker torn off which took off some of the title on the binding but it was only 50 cents.


9. The Elder Gods by David & Leigh Eddings -  mass paperback -  The firs tin the Dreamers series.
10. Once Upon A Time by Serena Valentino - paperback - First in the Nightmares & Fairy Tales graphic novel series.
11. Stardust by Neil Gaiman - paperback - I have an old mass paperback movie cover copy of this but prefer this cover.
12. The Vampire Tapestry by Suzy McKee Charnas - paperback - This was recommended to me by a guy long before Twilight was a thing and that speaks volumes to me so I thought I'd give it a try even though the reviews on Goodreads aren't the greatest.


13. Birthmarked by Caragh M. O'Brien - paperback - First in a YA series. I remember wanting to read this years ago so we'll see if it's worth it.
14. English Fairy Tales as collected by Joseph Jacobs - paperback - I liked the cover.
15. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain - hardcover - This is an illustrated 1948 edition with green outer pages in really good condition.
16.  Black Beauty by Anna Sewell - hardcover - A lovely Illustrated Classics copy. I planned on reading the full book myself but this will be nice to read to my daughter afterward.


17. An Extraordinary Life: The Story of A Monarch Butterfly by Laurence Pringle - paperback - I grow the host plant for Monarchs (milkweed) and keep the caterpillars safe so they can turn into chrysalises so I thought this would be great to read and show my daughter as she gets older.

  5. You got some really good books. I missed out on our library sale and only noticed it when I went to library to pick up a book I requested. Although I think it was a good thing I missed the sale
