Friday Finds #44

Friday Finds is a book meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. Friday Finds is a chance to share and show off the books you discovered during the week and would like to add to your reading list...

Or a place to simply feature the books you've actually purchased throughout the week and have added to your to be read pile!

 I had a great week in terms of buying books!! I purchased eight books in all.

I purchased four books for a dollar each at a used bookstore in Dublin, California as follows:

Loser by Jerry Spinelli
Firegirl by Tony Abbot
Number the Stars by Lois Lowry
White is For Magic by Laurie Faria Stolarz

 I also purchased two used books for a dollar each from the local library summer book sale this past weekend as well:

The Black Box by Michael Connelly
Fingersmith by Sarah Waters

 And, lastly, two used paperback novels at another indie bookstore in town called Bay Books as follows:

 Dr. Nightingale Rides the Elephant by Lydia Adamson
Instant Temptation by Jill Shalvis

Which books have you added to your reading list?

    Those library book sales are so dangerous! :-)
    I remember reading Number The Stars years ago--what a powerful book!

      Yes, library sales are dangerous as well as clearance sections of used bookstores that offer deep discounts on books!!

      Glad you enjoyed Number the Stars... It does offer a powerful message, which I liked, but I didn't like the book overall. I've read other books on the same subject matter that I liked better.

    Have fun reading The Cloister and the Hearth by Charles Reade with your reading group!!

    I have read only one Harry Bosch book and it wasn't the 1st in the series. I have The Black Box and another book in the series, to read at some point when I find the time!!

    Gotta love those sales. I get so many books that way.

    I've never read Lois Lowry, but she's definitely on my list of authors to read.

    Thanks for visiting The Book Connection.

      I really love reading The Giver by Lois Lowry a lot.

    The Black Box sounds interesting, I got a 'Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' vibe from the synopsis. Here is my FF post for this week - http://www.ablondelibrarian.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/friday-finds-2.html x
