WOW! How did you carry all those home?! Theres like 50 of them! Lol
I have a super strong boyfriend 😉
Oh wow, you got so many books! Plus, the Queen’s Thief series in hardcover? Score! 🙂 As if I’m not jealous enough that you have libraries, I’m now even more jealous because of library sales.
I know, I was psyched about that!
I am sooo jealous!! I should have gone to my dad’s so I could have gone to this!!

YOU TOTES SHOULD HAVE!
Great books! I love library sales. 🙂
You never know what you will find at a library booksale.
I’m sooooo very jealous that you have The Lost Saint! The Dark Devine is a favorite of mine.
Erin
I am quite psyched about The Lost Saint. I greatly enjoyed The Dark Divine as well 🙂
The libraries near you have the best book sales! We just had a book sale at my library and we definitely didn’t get books like that…maybe people in your part on NY have better taste in books.
I’m also jealous that you got the Queen’s Thief books in hardcover, with the original covers!
I always seem to score good books at sales, surprisingly enough.
Yeah, I about screeched when I saw them. I mean, that’s a huge freaking score.
That was some library sale! haha You got so many great books! I love Song of the Sparrow and The Host.
And I can’t wait for Fixing Delilah!
I am sure Fixing Delilah is going to be awesome 🙂
WOW, that’s a lot of books! Your gonna be busy for awhile! I can see you dragging a huge box of books out of the library…maybe down some steps and across the street lol. Have fun reading!!
My IMM is here: http://nikkibrandyberry.wordpress.com/
It was three boxes, ha ha, and my boyfriend carried them all. Guess he does come in handy from time to time.
So much good stuff! I can’t believe you listed all of those out.
I’m curious to hear what you think of the Kristin Hannah books whenever you get to them. I almost bought them, but decided to hold out until the adult stuff gets cheaper, so we’ll see if there are more when I return.
Yeah that adult stuff is expensive. I really don’t think a trade paperback should be priced at the same as a hardback. That was pretty lame.
I hope there are more when you go back 🙂
Woah, that’s a lot of books!
I know, so many I can build a bookshaped fort!
oh my god those books make me drool! I wish we had a library same as yours!
I am quite a lucky one, living in such a literate area.
I love how much Tamora Pierce is in that pile! Enjoy your new books 🙂
I know! I can’t wait to read Tamora Pierce, I haven’t yet, but I know our philosophies (feminism) really align.
wooooooow.
I’m jealous of a lot of those, and a lot of those I also own to read. You are the library sale master.
It ain’t easy… 😛
OMG! So many books^^
I loved…
Karlinha – Brazil
It’s very exciting!
Wow, that has to be the largest In My Mailbox haul I’ve ever seen! So many good books in there – Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles, the Perilous Gard and the Year of Secret Assignments in particular are awesome 😀
I have had larger hauls 😛 BUT this is my largest in awhile.
I was so fricken excited to find the Perilous Gard. I have been looking for that one for awhile now, but was never able to find it on bookmooch.
Wow!! I’m like, super jealous!! Those books look great!! And there are so many of them!!
I am so pumped to read them 🙂
Lots of great books, you will have plenty to read for a while! I hope you enjoy the Ann Rinaldi books, they are some of her older books which I have generally enjoyed more than her more recent books.
I’ve read Time Enough For Drums, which I was ambivalent about. I do enjoy good hist fic though and everyone always recommends Rinaldi, so at 75 cents a pop, I couldn’t say no.
I am glad you enjoyed them, Rebecca!
How much were all these (lie slightly if they cost you $2 in total). Wow what great stuff you got – Time Travellers Wife is fantastic and Suitable Boy.
172…
Which IMO is a great deal for all of those books.
I really enjoyed Time Traveler’s Wife when I first read it, however, I hadn’t yet experienced romantic love when I read it, so maybe now, it will be a different experience.
Wow, that’s a really REALLY huge haul. LOL.
I saw you also have the first 3 books from Garth Nix’s Keys of the Kingdom series. I just finished reading the series not that long ago myself.
What did you think of the Keys of the Kingdom series?
I’m not sure about the covers, but I have heard such great things about Nix.
That’s pretty much pure insanity and perhaps the most epic IMM ever! Enjoy all of your books 🙂
It is super epic and makes me super happy to obtain more new books!
HOLY FRICKIN’ COW, April! 😀
I got an addiction, okayyyy
BLOODY JACK. *win*
I know, I about screamed when I saw it! There for my taking (and paying) but still, so freakin exciting!
OMG APRIL! I SO need a booksale like this one *-* Congrats for the amazing new books!
