In My Mailbox (59)

In My Mailbox was started by Kristi of The Story Siren and inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie. Sadly the only books I order are those that are hard to find. The following books are from the library and bookstores.

Last Saturday two of my friends and I went to a library sale. In the end we spent $10 on two large paper bags for a grand total of 57 books (plus two that we picked up at some store along the way for $3.25). I found quite a few books that I had either read before and loved or ones that I had been meaning to read, and some that just sounded good. Now I am just two books shy of finishing K.A. Applegate's Everworld series *yay*. I figure if I keep raiding library sales I'll eventually finish my Anne McCaffrey, Mercedes Lackey, and Robin McKinley collections.

Used Bookstore:

The Blue Sword (Damar, 2)- Robin McKinley, 1982. (Reviewed Here)
Fruits Basket, VOL 2- Natsuki Takaya, 1999.
Ouran High School Host Club, VOL 1- Bisco Hatori, 2005
Ouran High School Host Club, VOL 2- Bisco Hatori, 2005.

I should really stop going to the Used Bookstore, but I always manage to find something I've been dying to get, like, The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley (which is one of my all-time favorite books). I was pleased to find some mangas that I really love (now I must plan on how to get the rest of the Ouran High School Host Club mangas that I saw there).

I'm super excited about all the books I have found in the last week and cannot wait to read each and every one of them. Hope y'all had a great book week too.
