I'm in Connecticut for the week to do some wedding stuff, and my dad informed me a couple days ago that he saw signs for a book sale that the public library was putting on. It started today, so I got some cash and headed on over to the library that I used to work at back in high school. There were three adjoining tents set up with tons and tons of used books, from children's to old classics and self-help to science fiction. I browsed aisle to aisle, constantly bumping into and getting in the way of other browsing patrons, as they did the same to me, all of us lost in our book tunnel vision. I realized it would be a great place to buy some of Oprah's Book Club books on the cheap! There were many different books on the list there, and I ended up choosing three books from the book club (Where The Heart Is by Billie Letts, The Pilot's Wife by Anita Shreve, and Gap Creek by Robert Morgan) and two more books that I just wanted to read (Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay and Barefoot by Elin Hilderbrand).
And I bought all 5 books for just $7!
I just love book fairs :)
Sarah's Key is one of my all time favorite books. Let me know how Barefoot is? I keep picking it up when I see it at the bookstore, but then I can't seem to figure out if I'm interested or not ....
