Score at the Used Book Sale

Because you know I don't have enough books in my squished stack of TBR books, I went to the used book sale sponsored by the AAUW.  They hold it twice a year in the mall, and all proceeds go to scholarships at our local schools.  So it's a win-win.  I also donate all my books I don't want to keep.  Another win-win.  My shelves get cleaned, they get a profit.  They sell hardcovers for $2 and paperback for $1.  What a deal.  If I would have waited until tomorrow, the last day, everything goes at half price or less.  But I went today.  I got a Margaret Atwood hardcover, Cat's Eye.  Healer's War by Elizabeth Scarborough, which looks to be a magical realism sort of tale about the Vietnam War, The Way of the White Clouds, by Lama Anagarika Govinda, about Tibet.  The inside cover says it's a "gloriously poetic story of exploration and discovery", a "classic spiritual autobiography."  It looked interesting for research type of stuff.  Also, Roads Not Taken, Tales of Alternate History, edited by Gardner Dozois, a 1998 edition.  And then, don't ask me why, but I picked up a cliff notes on Of Mice and Men.  I'm not sure I've read the entire book, and I haven't the time or inclination to read the entire book, so I thought what the heck, I'll try the cliff notes.  Even though I have yet to read the books I bought at the last used book sale.  I always find interesting books that I mean to read for research and ideas. 

Today's total purchase -- $9.50.  That's a ScOOOOOOOOOre!  I love buying books.
