HAUL: Library Book Sale

My local library recently held a book sale. Like at most libraries, the books sold were mostly donations, with the occasional "removed from circulation" book. I was thrilled because the book prices were even cheaper than usual: just $0.25 for a paperback and $0.50 for a hardback.

The Goods

Whole Lotta Trouble, Stephanie Bond

Iced, Carol Higgins Clark

Hitched, Carol Higgins Clark

One for the Money, Janet Evanovich

Four to Score, Janet Evanovich

High Five, Janet Evanovich
Wife for Hire, Janet Evanovich
Inked Up, Terri Thayer

Larceny and Lace, Annette Blair
The Ghost in the Gallery, Carolyn Keene
A Century of New Words, John Ayto

Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination, Helen Fielding
The Southern Heritage Cakes Cookbook, Southern Heritage


In total, I was able to get 13 books for $4.00. (14 books for $4.25, if you count the second copy of Whole Lotta Trouble that I got for my sister.)

Read through for all the nitty-gritty details.

The Details

I didn't buy random books: I collect the Stephanie Plum books, I read the Regan Reilly series, I've read Stephanie Bond's other books, I have another Dana Girls mystery (Carolyn Keene's forgotten other series), and I collect cookbooks. The other ones just looked good.
