You guys! I'm pretty sure that now is the time for an intervention when it comes to me acquiring books. Aack...I'm drowning in books to read. I had all of these good intentions for getting a bunch of reading done last week and then I managed to not finish anything. Anything at all. So what does a girl do when she has a bunch of books (and by a bunch I mean a ton) just waiting to be read? Apparently this girl goes to the used bookstore and buys even more. In my defense, this is a rarity for me for this exact reason. I have TOO many books! I usually save up books that I've read for credit and when my pile is big enough I'll take them down and bring home more. (The logic there eludes me as well.) But that's what I do. And since my pile was definitely big enough I cut away for a little me time on Saturday and went book shopping. It was lovely! Especially since I found myself in vintage book heaven! I found so many old mysteries and gothic romances that I finally had to tell myself to stop because it was getting to be a bit ridiculous (and I couldn't carry any more). I also managed to leave with more then I brought back for credit. I swear that I never mean to do that. Since I was in bookish bliss, I thought I would share pictures of the books I found at the bookstore. Especially since some of these covers are just amazingly horrific/gorgeous....I really like the cheesy old covers if I'm honest. Give me more! Here is what I grabbed:
Victoria Holt, Barbara Michaels, Mary Roberts Rinehart, and Phyllis Whitney....OH MY! I'm so excited to read each and every one of these! I'm already a huge fan of Barbara Michaels so it is always nice to stock up on her books (I'm kind of hoarding them). I loved
The Circular Staircase by Mary Roberts Rinehart so I just cannot wait to read more by her. I've never tried Phyllis Whitney but I really want to! Plus I found a copy of
Nightkeepers by Jessica Andersen just after I talked about it in my wishlist post. How exciting is that??? I've got lots of good reading ahead of me as soon as I figure out which one to read first :)
I might be a little quiet this week as my son has his first baseball games of the season. I'm hoping to snap up some good pictures though and share them in a Wordless Wednesday post. And I have a TLC book tour scheduled for Thursday so maybe I won't be as quiet as I'm saying. It all depends on how much I get accomplished each night after the ball fields :) Happy Monday and Happy Reading!!!!
