Uhhhhh…… yes. My name is Sheila and I have a book addiction.
I mentioned earlier this week that our Library had its spring sale on Thursday. I went. I waited in line. I saw. I purchased.
At 50 cents a book – seriously how can I resist? You as fellow book lovers must understand the draw…. the craving to be with books, to socialize with bookish people who understand when you lay down a bookish quote…
Anyone can speak Troll, all you have to do is point and grunt. (Fred Weasley – Harry Potter Series)
Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilised by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones. (Jane Eyre)
But it’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then. – Alice In Wonderland
“That’s exactly the kind of topic Haymitch told me to steer clear of.” – Hunger Games
Oh – but I digress. I am actually here to post what I picked up at the Library sale:
Some of these I already have – Barbara’ Walters Audition I do have here in my home, but would like a copy at our cabin. This is a great pick up and read a little bit book.
Will To Murder is about the Congdon Mansion murders that took place in Duluth Minnesota. I have toured the mansion many times and have read the books surrounding this hideous crime. I have a copy of this at the cabin as I like to keep Minnesota history there – but I do not have a copy here at home.
Mirror Mirror by Gregory Maguire, I have, but like to have copies to give away. Gregory Maguire to me, was the author who started the deeper look into background characters of the stories we grew up with and writing their own stories. I think this was just a brilliant idea.
Ted Deckker’s Boneman’s Daughter I have on the TBR shelf – but for 50 cents I can not pass up an additional copy to give away at some point. Perhaps when I read and review the book…
Of course the Nora Robers Dance Upon The Air and Face The Fire are part of the Three Sisters Trilogy that I am always picking up when I find them. This is a series that I love and hold dear to my heart and grab copies whenever I can find them to pass on to those who have not experienced these books.
The rest are a mix of Minnesota authors to try, a little bit of cover love, author recognition, or just a book I would like to read.
Comment here on which book you would enjoy and why and I will have a drawing out of the comments on Friday March 19. The winners book of choice will be read as soon as I possibly can and then I will mail it on to them. (Please USA and Canada only for this one)
In your comment you must let me know which book you would like out of this group and why.
