I went to D.I. this afternoon in search of some church books and came home with all of these! I wasn't drawn to most of their religious books (they weren't what I had in mind) but I did get a perfectly great copy of The Peacegiver; which I've been meaning to read for some time. I also scored all of these other books, which may make it onto my summer reading list (only 5 more weeks of school!).
**Have you read any of these books?
How much do you think I paid for all of these?**

I LOVED the Peacegiver.
I LOVED the Peacegiver. I've read it twice since.
The Road made me want to give up my will to live. Seriously.
I don't think I've read any of them....maybe I need to spend less time on the computer.
I bet you paid 10 bucks for all of them.
Can't wait to hear how you like The Road... and if you can get through it! Also curious about The Tennis Partner since I loved Cutting for Stone. You can have your own special bookclub with J about The Peacegiver- ha ha!
Whoa--good luck with the Cormac McCarthy. Gritty. But I like him. When I'm feeling gritty.
I love to book-hunt at D.I.! I usually look for vintage Dick & Jane readers...nab any you see for me & I'll reimburse you!
I am getting serious in my job search for teaching positions. I've applied for 2 jobs, hopefully will get interviews--even though it's not what I planned for my motherhood years and I kind of have a stomachache about it--but I would REALLY like to get a job in my kids' district. So ask around at your school for me, would you? Pretty please?
Or not. If you think I'm a weirdie.
You will love the peace giver! It was so good. I have lent it out to so many people.
I finally got hooked on my kindle but spent way too much money buying books last month that I can't buy any more until next month but I am almost done reading everything. I like when you and Michelle post about what you have read what how you rate them so I have a clue as to what to get.
I think that The Road is the only one of those I have read. You totally scored! At our Goodwill (which sounds like a D.I.) I believe the paperbacks are 25 cents each or 5 for a dollar. That's what I call a deal!! I try to get most of my books at the library or on Kindle but I don't pass up a 25 cent deal either.
Oh, score on the books!! There is nothing I like more than a pile of books waiting to be read! ;) I read Beneath a Marble Sky...but can't really remember it. and I read The Road and hated it (but I know sooo many people who loved it)
ooh oooh! i started at the bottom and was feeling dejected that i hadn't read any of them. BUT. i did read founding mothers by cokie roberts- and i loved it. i like history- and i especially love anything about women in history.
what a deal! :)
That is a score! I'm going to guess you paid $11.00, but it would have cost more at my D.I.
I am dying to read the Peacegiver! If you ever see another copy, pick one up for me!
Love, love, love The Road. It's in my top-10. I'd love to hear what you think about it!
score is right! I love the DI or goodwill for books. I was in Utah a couple of days before my family for spring break this year and spent an afternoon at the DI digging through the books. I bought 52. I am guessing you paid $14.
Love the new banner!!
I have not read any of those books.
I'm guessing $12.
It makes me happy to think of you having a summer reading stack.
The Peacegiver is wonderful.
Great score indeed! I am guessing..$15...?
I have the Peacegiver, and haven't read it. I'll have to read it now after all these recommendations. So nice to have such a tall stack of new things to read!
I love used book stores. we even have a goodwill book store! I say $12.
You really did score. A few of those are books that I want to read. I love shopping for books at DI. I am guessing that you paid roughly $15!
The Road is one of my favorite books ever. It stayed with me for weeks after I was finished.
