I have 10 new books in the past 3 days for about $5 total! 5 were 10 cents each so that totally blew my mind! Three are non-fiction and one is a book that I found in my room that someone gave me and I totally forgot about though. That counts as new right?
1. The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
Oh am I excited about this book. I can't remember ever hearing anything good or bad about it, I just remember hearing about it (selective memory, that's me!). The cover is beautiful and the blurb is SO intriguing! I dearly hope this one doesn't disappoint.
2. Everlost by Neal Shusterman
I found this at goodwill yesterday and despite having never heard of it before, I picked it up and was instantly determined to buy it. It has potential to be fantastic but I can also see it being not so good. So we will see.
3. Princess Academy: Palace of Stone by Shannon Hale
I love love love Shannon Hale. And the first book in this series is one of my favorite books ever so I hope this one lives up to it's predecessors!
4. The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger
I know a lot of people have read and loved this book so I decided to give it a go! 10 cent books can't steer me wrong right?
5. The Lost Years of Jane Austen by Barbara Ker Wilson
Oh man. If ever a book had potential it's this one. I love Jane Austen books and a book about her written in her style? Oh yes please!
6. Man Walks Into a Room by Nicole Krauss
I wasn't so sure about this one. It was only 10 cents so I figured it was worth trying!
7. If We Survive by Andrew Klavan
This is the one a friend gave me that I never read. I finally read the blurb and I don't know why I didn't read it before! It looks so good! Sometimes I'm really dumb you guys.
8. Houses that Change the World by Wolfgang Simson
This book looks so powerful! I can't wait to read it!
9. Do You Know Who I Am? by Angela Thomas
I adore books like this. They make me think and oftentimes I forget to think about what matters so this is good!
10. A Way out of No Way by Andrew Young
Not sure what I think about this author but the book looked so good I couldn't pass it up! I love studying this era.
I put a poll in the sidebar of my blog for you to vote on which book I should read first (of the fiction variety)! I couldn't add it to the actual post but do make sure to go vote!

So what books are new to you all? Have you read any of the ones I picked up this week? What do you think of buying books at second hand stores?
