Bargain! I love finding cheap books. I'm off to a book sale this evening, so I'm hoping for some great finds too. Fingers crossed!
ReplyDelete6.50 for all of those?????? That's a steal! I would pay that for the Gail Tsukiyama alone. :D
ReplyDeleteThis week, I found out that Hallie Ephron, who wrote a really good thriller in the last year (title "Never Tell a Lie") previously wrote five "medical mystery thrillers" under the name of G.H. Ephron. All five have the same main character, a forensic psychologis and this series was written in collaboration with a psychologist.
ReplyDeleteMy library has all five of the books. Yippee
I also found out that Dan Brown's upcoming book has a first-run printing of FIVE MILLION copies !!!!
Great deal! I just got Ghostwalk recently as well. Oh and the D'Adamo book...I go to his fathers practice, The D'Adamo Institute of Natural Therapies. Hope you enjoy it.
