What did YOU buy today? March 2022

Brought home one children's ARC: The Einsteins of Vista Point by Ben Guterson (pub 4/22; young reader mystery).

I do have one book (& one Bob Hope DVD set) on hold awaiting my next paycheck.

In the meantime, I brought home another ARC: Wolf Den by Elodie Harper (pub 4/22; historical fiction)

I've been pretty good this month.

Last week, I took six grocery bags of books to my local used bookstore: https://www.librarything.com/venue/354/Powells-Hyde-Park Usually, they don't take much of what I bring, but this time they took four of the six bags, and I got $200 in credit!

Naturally, I had to spend some of it there and then, but only bought two for myself:

The Frank Lloyd Wright collection of surimono, by Joan B. Mirviss and a copy of Gaudy Night to replace the one I have that is falling apart.

I have spotted this one in my fave bookstore recently - it's on my wish list! :)

About your post in last month's thread concerning the war in the Ukraine: I'll send you a pm.

Got them all in a special edition tiny hardcover edition:
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: The sorrows of young Werther;
(Yes, my second edition of the book. If I like it, I'll give away one of the two...)
Theodor Fontane: Effi Briest;
Arthur Conan Doyle: A study in scarlet;
Gillian Flynn: Gone Girl.

Oops, I did it again. 🙄 Well, at least they were all from the bargain section...

Jane Gardam: The man in the wooden hat;
Elizabeth Kay: Seven lies;
Peter James: The secret of Cold Hill;
Alyson Rudd: The first time Lauren Pailing died.

Went to a friend’s sale and stumbled into a donated occult collection including 365 Days of Hoodoo, Tales of the Jumbee, and Witch in the Bedroom.

Brought one ARC -- Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt (pub 5/22; fiction w/one point of view from an octopus) -- home only long enough to read it. Then took it back to the bookstore.

Brought two other ARCs home that haven't been read yet:
* By the Book by Jasmine Guillory (pub 5/22; contemporary romance)
* Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole by Susan Cain (pub 4/22)

And bought two others this month:
* Hollywood Victory: The Movies, Stars, and Stories of World War II by Christian Blauvelt
* An Island at War by Deborah Carr (historical fiction)
