Early morning book sale

[matrixrefugee]

Our town's library was holding their once-a-month used book sale, so I got myself up early for a change and walked there. I found quite a few surprises, including a small boxed-set of "Buffy the Vampire-Slayer" videotapes (too bad it wasn't the DVDs, but I'm happy with 'em), Margot Fonteyn's "The Magic of Dance", which will make a lovely Mother's Day gift for my mom (I said as much to the ladies running the sale and they were delighted with that idea) and a book I'd been looking for, for some time now: Alfredn Niederman's "The Devil's Advocate", which was the basis for the Al Pacino-Keanu Reeves thriller of the same name (okay, maybe not the greatest movie in the world, but it's engrossing and Al Pacino makes one hell of a demonic lawyer...). Also got a handful of Lyndsay Sands paranormal romances -- alas, no Silouette Nocturnes; I'll have to try the quirky-named Got Books?, a used book store in an old warehouse in Reading, which donates most of their earnings to local charities, including a group that helps the families of soldiers in Iraq and a support/social networking group for mentally-challenged adults.

Yay! I love used book sales, I can remember the occassion when I came away with over 100 tomes :P.

Some of the books you've mentioned sound pretty darn intriguing too ;) . I'll have to check them out!

Love Buffy, it's one of my favorite series!
And I really liked "The Devil's Advocate." I agree, Pacino made the movie.

PS.

You would love the book sale we have annually here. It's a fundraiser for the Children's Hospital, and you can get some amazing finds. Last year I left with two shopping bags of books for 50.00 or something like that..and they were CLASSICS...hardcover of Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass for example.


I love the sound of Got Books? (so cute) and loved it even more when you said the proceeds go to charity.

Blessings!
