In absolutely unrelated-to-knitting news, I made a major score on Friday. The Annual Yard Sale in a town close by is going on this weekend, and the library there was having a book sale. I just happened to be at the library on Thursday and noticed some awesome books for sale, so I was the first in line Friday morning for the book sale. By Book Sale, they really meant BOOK SALE! It was a HUGE SALE! Not in the fact that they had a HUGE selection, but the deal was good. Any book, ONE DOLLAR! And we're not talking hot and steamy Danielle Steele novels and dime store paperbacks, either. I got 14 books - most of which I've been perusing at the bookstore, but reluctant to buy. And they're hardcover books, too.

Clockwise from the top:

1. The Alphabet Sisters - Monica McInerney
2. The Sunday Philosophy Club - Alexander McCall Smith
3. Light On Snow - Anita Shreve
4. Good Grief - Lolly Winston
5. The Jane Austen Book Club - Karen Joy Fowler
6. Bergdorf Blondes - Plum Sykes
7. The Bonesetters Daughter - Amy Tan
8. Visits from the Drowned Girl - Steven Sherrill
9. Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke
10. The Poisonwood Bible - Barbara Kingsolver
11. All He Ever Wanted - Anita Shreve
12. Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt - Anne Rice
13. The Undomestic Goddess - Sophie Kinsella
14. Any Place I Hang My Hat - Susan Isaacs

A few of these books are absolute guilty pleasures (Bergdorf Blondes, Undomestic Goddess), a few I just got because I've seen people on planes reading them (that means they're good, right?), and a few I've wanted to read for a while.  This should keep me busy for a while
