Bookstore Haul

The husband and I were doing some last minute Christmas shopping on Saturday, and he noticed that the bookstore in the mall was closing down. It's a chain (Waldenbooks) and I think just that location is closing - which makes sense because a massive Barnes and Noble opened right across the street.

Anyways, everything was on sale! I normally just get books from the library, but I figured if I could find some good deals, why not? Most things ranged from 20 to 50% off it seemed.

I think I came out pretty decent. I ended up with 7 new books. Some that I've been wanting to read (but are unavailable at the local library) and a series that I've heard of, but wasn't high on my list.

I purchased:

- "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larsson ($5.50 Paperback)

- "The Girl Who Played with Fire" by Stieg Larsson ($5.50 Paperback)

- "In the Woods" by Tara French ($8.75 Paperback)

.....and then I snagged the first four books in the "House of Night'' Series - I realize there are four more books to this series, but this is a good start and it was a fantastic steal...

- "Marked", "Chosen", "Betrayed" and "Untamed"

by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast ($3.29 each Hardcover)

Once I begin reading these, I plan to purchase the other 4 books (one of which haven't been released yet - Jan, 4th, 2011) "Hunted", "Tempted", "Burned" and "Awakened".

So overall, I think I made out pretty good on my purchase! With all the books I've been accumulating lately, I should really consider purchasing an actual bookcase!
