Morning Meanderings… Its Going To Be A Big Book Week

Published on by Sheila (Book Journey)

Good morning! 😀

This past weekend I was up North with a couple of friends.  It is a tradition to go the last weekend of July and one of the reasons I love this trip is the Silver Bay Book Sale.  Yup, at 8:45 am on Saturday the three of us waited in a short line to get in the library when the doors opened at 9. 

Here is what I walked out with:

Now to bad at a 25 each on the paperbacks and $1.00 for the hard cover.   Two books I am really excited about are Shanghai Girls as I have yet to read Lisa See and A Night To remember because I am fascinated with all things Titanic.

Brainerd’s library sale is this Thursday.  It is a much bigger sale and I am quite sure I will have a larger pile than this to post on Friday.  😛

  2. I love book sales, somehow I always end up with a whole bag full. I am trying to limit myself until I actually read and pass along some of the books that are already in my house. So many always jump out at me. I hope you enjoy your new finds!

  5. That looks like a great stack of books. Have read one or two of them – it’s so good seeing people about to start books you know and love. Hope you enjoy the Kate Atkinson in particular!

  6. Sheila, I was also out of town this weekend and had to resist going to a used book sale. We recently moved and I still have boxes to unpack-I need to finish that off before adding more to the load.

  7. your book sales are incredible! must say loved snow flower and the secret fan ..shanghei girls not so much…maybe i was expecting too much because a friend raved about shanghei girls…and the sequel to it just came out!
    would look forward to your review of the titanic one…love titanic and the holocaust…it sounds bad but the tragedybehind it all just makes for spellbinding reading and since you know it really happened your brain just whirls around
    have heard of birth house…good things
    some of the others have been on my shelves forever…maybe you reading them will make me pull them down!

    1. I actually bought that one last month (full price) because I heard such good things about it. I am hoping to nominate it for our September book club read and picked up this copy for 25 cents. 😀

      I know what you mean about Titanic and Holocaust… like is so not the right word but I do that too…. I appreciate knowing more about these topics.

  10. I loved both of the Lisa See books! I have not read A Night to Remember but it does sound very good. You did good at this sale. I can’t wait to see what you pick up at the Brainerd sale!
