It's the most wonderful time of the year... Book Depository sale time!!! I can't even tell you how excited I get. I'm like a kid on Christmas morning. Only even more excited!
Here's what I scored in the sale:
I can't actually remember where I heard about this one - I think I read a review on another book blogger's site - but it's been on my list and I just hadn't gotten around to buying it yet. So when it popped up, of course, I had to snag me a copy! I'm a bit surprised - both of my purchases so far have been period novels. I don't usually tend to go for books set in other time periods. Not for any particular reason, they just normally don't appeal to me. I guess everyone needs to try something new now and again!
"Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes - and match him wit for wit. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern twentieth-century woman proves a deft protegee and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective."
Yeah, I totally need to know what this is.
So there you have it! This time the sale didn't have as many good books as usual - a lot of kids, novelty and cookbooks. Not my kind of thing. But I'm happy with the three I got - and let's face it, it's not like I'm hurtin' for books over here!
Any of you check out the sale? What did you snag?
