Our closest book store is a Books-A-Million. I must say it doesn't have the best choices for older releases. It mainly has new releases, books that are movies, and popular titles. I have no problem with that, but sometimes you can get lucky!
Okay, so, here are the books I got.
I already owned Cinder by Marissa Meyer, and I wanted to update that collection, so I bought Scarlet and Cress.
I also finished my Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead. I had the first three and the last one, but was missing books four and five. So I picked those up!
The only thing about these books is that they are a different cover than what I already have. My other books are the ones with two people (who I can only assume are Rose and Dimitri! :P) on the cover. But, it's still the same story. So, I'm okay with that.
Next, I FINALLY finished my City of Bones series by Cassandra Clare. When I first ordered them, they were all paperback, same editions, ect., ect. But for some reason, the whole collection never came. So, I have been patiently collecting the remaining books in the series. Today, I picked up book number 1! It's kind of weird that I didn't have book number 1, but I checked that one out from the Library originally. So now, I have them all! Except The Bane Chronicles, but I will be picking that up ASAP! :D
The next two books I picked up, were by a total stroke of good luck. I was walking up and down random isles of BAM and the cover jumped right out at me. I found Wicked and Son of a Witch by Gregory Maguire WITH THE SPRAYED EDGES. FOR SEVEN DOLLARS. I don't think you realize how exciting this is for me. I'm obsessed with the play and soundtrack, so I'm interested in reading the story that inspired that!
I couldn't find a picture of Son of a Witch with the sprayed edges but above is the edition that I picked up!
The last book I picked up was not from BAM. It's from a library stand in my town. I'll have a post up soon about these library stands (most likely tomorrow because we are expecting more snow *rolls eyes*). :P
Anyway, I was able to find a first edition signed copy of The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion. It was a great surprise.
I'm still planning on finishing the Harry Potter series before I pick any of these up, but as soon as I'm done with Harry Potter, I will be picking up Wicked!
I hope you guys are having a great week!
Type at you later!
