Book Sale Season

Book Sale Season Is Here!

I recently scored great books at area book sales.

Here is what I bought:

• An Episode of Sparrows by Rumer Godden
• Dear Life by Alice Munro
• Collected Stories of John O’Hara
• Literary Brooklyn: The Writers of Brooklyn and the Story of American City Life by Evan Hughes
• Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton
• A Separate Peace by John Knowles
• The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers
• A Movable Feast by Ernest Hemingway
• The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
• Shore Chronicles: Diaries and Travelers’ Tales from the Jersey Shore 1764-1955 edited by Margaret Thomas Buchholz
• The Story of Cinema by David Shipman
• The Illustrated Brontes of Haworth by Brian Wilks
• The Oxford Illustrated Literary Guide to Great Britain and Ireland edited by Dorothy Eagle and Hilary Carnell

Some of these books I have read before (McCullers, Knowles, Sinclair) but not for a long time.

The Oxford Guide I have wanted for a while, and the Illustrated Brontes is interesting.

I own the DVD of the British series of the same name, and the Brontes are a fascinating family.

There is a great website to track down book sales in your area: Book Sale Finder.
