I feel like we’ve been here recently. Anyone else get that feeling? It’s like deja vu. Book deja vu. I’m just gonna say right now…that’s not even a bad thing! We’re just gonna roll with it and see what library it takes us to. This mini book haul is a slight mixture of 2 different days, but that were close enough together if felt like I was hauling books…again. It’s a mix of old and new books, which is nice for a change, and while I have read 1 of them, the others I haven’t. Here’s what I got this time round:

Magician, by Raymond E. Feist
This is my best friend’s favourite author, though this is the only book of his that I’ve read. I read it years and years ago and I can barely remember what it was about. When I saw it at the Church garage sale a few weeks ago, I grabbed it up for about 20 cents. Score! Looking forward to reading it again.

The Complete Sherlock Holmes Short Stores, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Oh Sir Arthur, you create wonderful characters. I have the complete works on my Kindle, though I think I’ve only read one or two, and I’m not sure that these short stories are included. This was another one from the Church garage sale, so again, about 20 cents.

The Thousand Autumns of Jabob de Zoet, by David Mitchell
I had never heard of this book before, but I knew that David Mitchell wrote Cloud Atlas (a book on my to-read list, but one I haven’t got around to getting into yet), so I picked it up at the Church sale. To be 100% honest, I don’t know if I’ll actually ever read it. But my parents might enjoy it, so I will lend it to them.

Pawn, by Aimee Carter
Now we come to the books I picked up in sale bin a few weeks ago. Again, another one I hadn’t heard of, but the back sounded interesting and the cover was cool. Yes, I always judge a book by it’s cover. Oops. But it’s true. It was also the first in a series, so I figured it’s a good place to start (thanks, Maria/Julie Andrews).

Blackout, by Robison Wells
I really liked Robison Wells’ other books, Variant and Feedback, so I figured it was a safe bet to grab another one of his (agian, from a sale bin). Looking forward to reading this new series!
