I have quite a little list of books growing on my "Book list to read" I'll have to do another post in the near future regarding the growing list. Many thanks to some of the used book store owners out there that gladly share their own list with me. (By the way...I just finished "Crashers" by Dana Hughes. Fantastic Thriller!)
This brings me to my current thought of the day. "Used Book Stores"
If you haven't visited one today, get out there and visit one! If you don't know of any in your area get out there and go hunting! I will blog in short, it's worth the trip!
My latest used book store hunt brought me to Owatanna, Minnesota. It happened to be "Crazy Days" and I stumbled upon a little book store in the downtown area. Out front along the sidewalk they had purchased a bulk supply of used and older "Library Hardbacks" and were selling them by the pound!!! How cool is that? I've seen meat sold that way, but to see old hardbacks sold that way...well, that was fairly interesting! Interesting enough that I went ahead and bought three new hardbacks at a whopping price of $10 (none of them being newer titles. But...thought they would be good reads).
1. The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
2. Blood Oath by Christopher Farmsworth
3. Everything's Eventual by Stephen King
What really struck me (compared to Barnes and Noble) was the hands-on approach of the used book store owners. They were very helpful and struck a good conversation with me about current books, and some popular series.
Want an adventure in reading? Go out there and find a USED book store. It will be worth your time......I promise!!!
