I just went out to Books-A-Million tonight. Though I only intended to browse, they had a great sale going on and I picked up two books for just under eight books! I got a nice, hardcover copy of Shatter Me. (The pretty cover, not the weird one with the he, lol.) I also found a nice copy of Tiger's Curse. I probably could've gotten it at the library and read it, but I couldn't resist it at the price of $3.97! I hope to start it soon!

Kate (kaitlins16) I went ebook shopping today. :)

I got a few free books from the teens section. I would say my best find from there today is Among the Nameless Stars (For Darkness Shows the Stars, #0.5) by Diana Peterfreund .

I then bought The Edge of Never (The Edge of Never, #1) by J.A. Redmerski Dear Cassie (Companion Novel) by Lisa Burstein The Collector (Dante Walker, #1) by Victoria Scott Apollyon (Covenant, #4) by Jennifer L. Armentrout (all different prices ranging from $2.99 to $5.99).


message 5: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) I also want to get one more ebook for $2.99 or less. Any suggestions?


message 6: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 3369 comments Mod
Ooh, I've been wanting to read The Collector!

Kiss of Fire is only $0.99!

I assume you haven't read Scarlet yet, then? I just finished it for the Summer Reading Challenge at YAbookaholics. It was awesome! Better then the first, I'd say.

I haven't read Scarlet yet, so that's why I'm buying it. I meant to buy it last month because it was a BOTM for a group I'm in. I didn't get a lot of time to read last month, though, so I didn't get the book.


message 19: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 3369 comments Mod
You'll love it! And I know what you mean. I'm bogged down with so many books to read for challenges and Group Reads. (But that's always a good thing.) I'm hoping to get to the books in this group, and one other I'm a mod in. Hopefully I'll have time to read Paper Towns and Legend. :)

message 42: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) I'm going to Goodwill on Wednesday, so maybe I'll find something. I don't find much that I like there very often, but I did find a nice hardcover of Eldest (sequel to Eragon) for only four or five bucks once!


message 43: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 3369 comments Mod
It is a good place to find good hardcover books. Usually by the one they come to Goodwill, the paperbacks are all beaten up, but I've found a few good ones there, too.


Jessica (Goldenfurpro) (goldenfurproductions) | 378 comments Mod
I recently bought these from my local used bookstore:
Hex Hall (Hex Hall, #1) by Rachel Hawkins Pandemonium (Delirium, #2) by Lauren Oliver Requiem (Delirium, #3) by Lauren Oliver Touched (Sense Thieves, #1) by Corrine Jackson Across the Universe (Across the Universe, #1) by Beth Revis Entice (Need, #3) by Carrie Jones

The only one that I haven't read is Touched, but I have other books from the series of the books I bought (Ex: I own Delirium, A Million Suns, etc) and wanted all the books in the series.

Olivia Brown (olivemebooks) | 7 comments I hope they are really good, is Shatter Me good? I heard it had a lot of romance in it


message 48: by Turtlefrog (new)

Turtlefrog I just purchased Eragon (Inheritance, #1) by Christopher Paolini . Adding it to my stack to read some day. Has anybody read this book? Is it a good book? I really hope so.


message 49: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) On Wednesday, I went to Goodwill like I said I would. I went to a bookstore afterwards. Also, my friend lent me two books on the same day (and returned one she had been borrowing all year but never finished), so I came home on Wednesday with six books in all.

Borrowed:
Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
Words by Ginny L. Yttrup

Bought from bookstore:
The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa (a five dollar used hardcover--so awesome)

Bought at Goodwill (two dollars each):
The Help by Kathryn Stockett
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares (which I know Brittany will be happy about)

Wednesday was such a lucky day for books. It was probably the best selection of books I saw at Goodwill. Almost every time I noticed a title I recognized, I said things like, "that's been turned into a movie, "I've watched the movie--it was really good--but I don't think I'm going to try the book," "I haven't seen the movie of this yet," and anything else movie related. Goodwill is like book-to-movie central.

Also, it seems the the sisterhood of traveling pants really wants me to read it, because I saw thee used copies of the first book (two at Goodwill; one at the bookstore), two copies of the second, one copy of the third, and one of the fourth (at the bookstore). I only bought the first book though.

Yay! You are indeed right, I am happy! ;)

I remember loving the series so much when I was in high school. I hope you like it, too! And hey, it counts toward the Bookaholics Books-to-Movie Challenge as well as the Banner Challenge here. Kill two birds with one stone. Lol.

I also LOVED The Help. It's one of my all-time favorites. I particularly love southern books set during the times of the Civil Rights movement and before. (The Secret Life of Bees, To Kill A Mockingbird, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, Whistling Past the Graveyard, ect. I love them all and highly recommend them if you haven't read them!)

And the movie versions of both Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and The Help are fantastic. <3
