- Our local newspaper held a used book sale with proceeds to a literacy group in the province. they filled a whole store at the mall with used books. I limited myself to one hour and $20 and here is what I found:
- The Wizard of Oz (the local high school just put on this musical, I thought the kids might like)
- Kidnapped - RLS
- Madame Bovary - Flaubert (a classic I've been wanting to read; I started on dailylit, but never finished)
- The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz - Mordecai Richler
- Silas Marner - George Eliot (katrina just gave this a good review)
- Oryx and Crake - Atwood (a dystopian novel, if it's here I might read it, although Chris didn't give it a rave)
- Lie Down with Lions - Ken Follett (I love his Pillars of the Earth novel)
- The Little Prince - (I was planning to read for Once Upon a Time)
- The Incredible Journey (for the kids)
- Murder on the Orient Express - Agatha Christie
- The Picture of Dorian Gray (I'm reading for the classics challenge)
- A Tale of Two Cities (might be my first Dickens read)
- The Dog Who Woulnd't Be - Farley Mowatt ( I really wanted Owls in the Family, but this is funny too: for the kids)
- A Red Death and A Little Yellow Dog - Easy Rawlins Mysteries (for the hubby, and me too)
- Chronicles of Avonlea - LM Montgomery (her short stories; I like to reread these)
- A Lesson Before Dying - Gaines (somebody? reviewed this recently)
- Never Have Your Dog Stuffed -Alan Alda (kaliana gave this a great review)
- It's Fine to be Nine (Jack is nine, and we have the collection already for Six and Seven)
