I can lose control if not careful. I do have a list of books that I have seen at my local Half Price Books that I want to get.

Michele — 230 books just in your TBR pile? Where do you keep them all? You must have one heck of a library. I’m jealous.

Oh my used bookstores! I have one close to me and it is my happy place to go. Whenever I am down, all I have to do is go there, and spend time in the shelves. It always does the trick. The lady who owns the place is really nice too. She always saves books for me. I am an avid reader and have over 230 books in my TBR pile.

Edie — I’m not bad about buying repeats since I try to keep my TBR pile more or less under control. But I actually put several more books back last weekend at the store. One of my resolutions is to make a significant dent in my TBR pile this year and only have four or five books lying around at one time. 🙄

I bring home bags of books when I go to used bookstores. The one nearest me isn’t that near, so I don’t get there often. When I go, I always seem to buy a couple books I own already.:???:

I never have figured out the layout there. Nothing makes sense to me, but I truck along and often find someone to point me in the right direction. Or I tell Gary what I’m looking for and he sniffs it out for me. He actually is the one who finds the best stuff.

I tried the Kusheil’s series, I quit 1/2 way through the first one. I just couldn’t get into them. Maybe I wasn’t in the right frame of mind at the time. Who knows?

Chasity — Actually, I was looking for something by Jacqueline Carey someone else had recommended (Kushiel’s Dart). But then I saw the Armstrong book. And, well, it came home with me. :bub:

Karen — I’ll have to move Quiver up the reading pile, if you like it so much. :cup:

And yes, checkout guy does need to get a clue. Interestingly enough, the graphic novels are on the second level of the store, next to the gaming books — and far, far away from the romance and fantasy books on the first floor. Hardly the kind of layout that would lead me to accidentally picking up the graphic novels. 🙄

Yay, Quiver! One of my favourite Green Arrow books ever, not least for introducing me to my DC boyfriend, Connor Hawke.

And ugh, checkout guy, get a clue.

Mr. K’s is the bomb. I can usually find anything I’m looking for there. You go girl! I think you’ll enjoy Bitten. Kelley Armstrong has a great voice.

Tia — Sounds like a great store. My local used bookstore also has used games, CDs, and even old albums (I think). Two levels of goodness.

Ah, yes, the used bookstore smell. It’s worse some places than others. Very old and slightly musty, but I like it. It’s somehow comforting. 😎
