The best thing happened on Saturday!

My library's book store was having a sale, and you wouldn't believe the prices there! 25 cents for pristine hardcovers, 50 cents at the most. And best thing is, it was half-price day, so the 25 cent books were priced at 12.5 cents!

A book nerd's dream!

Needless to say, I spent 5 measly dollars on around 50 books. (Could be 35. I'm making a rough guessimate)

So now I have a bunch of Dean Koontz, Stephen King, and Michael Crichton (or however you spell his name. He's the guy that wrote Jurassic Park). Books like The Shining (You know, that movie that was once a book), The Lost World (That other movie that was once a book too), Funhouse, Misery, Cell, The Mask...

Oh yeah, and I also snagged my Harry Potter book on the same day...
...at a grocery store.

We were shopping for foods when the grocery guy says over the intercom, shouting that only eight Harry Potter books were left and that we had to make it to the front of the store if we wanted a copy. So, before you can say Accio Object of my Desires, I was at the front of the desk, picking up phone book-sized book.

And I was at the back of the store. I must've teleported there.

And, being mundo book-nerd, I already read all of it.

My opinion? The book was a very pleasing end to the series. The deaths made me sad, though. =(

So yeah, that's what I did on my weekend.
I read.
A lot.
So much that my eyes are telling me that my brain needs to be rotten in summertime and that I must remedy this through video games. XD

Heh those some damn cheap books XD sometimes we have those kinds sales around here too actually... but I'm not really a book person so I haven't checked it out.

And hmm... well I'm not a huge Harry fan, but I do like to watch the movies though (Is too lazy to read most the time xD)

Wow...LOL wow...all the books you mentioned by Steven King, i've already read. The reason behind that is that my dad's a fanatic, and every book i used to read my dad used to tend to read too - like Harry Potter - and then, i got fed up and asked HIM to tell ME a good book to read and he inroduced me to the wonders of Steven King lol xD

Hello i rock 8) (old joke: dont ask)

O_oO_Oo_O <----- my trademark ^_^
I laugh at your measly bookshelf! I have two bookshelves crammed with books, and a huge stack of books next to the bookshelves because I ran out of space.

I need a new bookshelf, except I have nowhere to put it. O_o;

I don't read too much King because he's either a hit or a miss for me. Either he writes a great book I can really get into (Pet Sematary, Christine), or his book bores me to death (Dark Tower). So I have to be careful to get the right King books...

I do like his short stories though. Children of the Corn especially. That was downright creepy...

Hey, I got the book too! However, I'm slower than you though, ever since I swagged Elite Beat Agents on the same day, and that is a hell of a lot of fun :D

Nice book collecting though. I'm sure all that will keep you busy <3
