On Friday night, after an evening of shopping for my new nephew, I somehow found my car driving itself to Half Price Books. Though I had decided not to buy any more books until there was open space on my TBR shelf, I rationalized that I needed to buy a few books for the challenges I just joined. On my way to find the books I specifically was looking for, several others started calling my name and I just HAD to buy them too! So including the book on its way from Amazon that I purchased a few days ago, and the book I won in Literary Feline's book giveaway, the following is a list of the books I added/will be adding to my overflowing shelf this week:
Tending Roses--Lisa Wingate
Blue Like Jazz--Donald Miller
The Winter of our Discontent--John Steinbeck
Tortilla Flat--John Steinbeck
The Known World--Edward P. Jones
The Inheritance of Loss--Kiran Desai
The Devil in the White City--Erik Larson

Overflowing bookshelf

I have a theory about bookstores. They each have a giant magnet that draws our cars right to their parking lots. And since we are there, we might as well for in and do a little book shopping, right?
Looks like you have some great reading ahead of you, Laura!
Oh, The Inheritance of Loss is on my wishlist also. And I wish I had known about The Known World--Joy is giving away her copy...
Ha ha--soon you'll be needing a new bookshelf! It's hard to go into HPB without getting anything.
Isn't it funny how the car just drives itself? I'll tell my husband I'm going out for a carton of milk and before I know it I'm at the secondhand store standing in front of the books. How did I get there?
