Library Book Sale!

First things first, I know I haven't done the author of the month for October or September, but I've been pretty busy, with school and all, so I'll get to those.

Now, on to more important things (or at least more interesting).

Today, our public library had a book sale from 9-2 o'clock. I went there at around 9-9:30 and spent around $6.75. :)

Anyway, here's a list of the books I got, along with a small description in case you think it looks interesting.

The Alexandria Link by Steve Berry

In The Alexandria Link, Cotton Malone's son gets kidnapped, and Cotton has to find something within the lost Library of Alexandria that could change the world. (paraphrased from the summary on the back of the book; you didn't think I'd actually read it already?)

Writers of the Future, vols. V, VI, and IX by L. Ron Hubbard

These books are collections of various works of the best science-fiction of the year that the book was written in.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

No offense, but I have no idea what this book is about. I know it's about an "accusation of criminal assault" in "a quiet southern town," but that's about it. Why am I reading this book? It's a classic (or if it isn't, it will be). It's like reading J. K. Rowling and not reading James Patterson. You read one good author, you have to read another. *Note to self: READ LOTR*

Daniel X: Watch the Skies by James Patterson

And speaking of James Patterson... This book is about Daniel X having to stop an evil person from destroying his city and documenting every moment of it. Again, this is from the inside flap.

2nd Chance and The 5th Horseman by James Patterson

Both these books are a part of the Women's Murder Club series. The second one is apparently a "puzzling medical thriller" and a "gripping legal thriller", according to the back of the book. From my experience, any book by James Patterson is worth checking out.

The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman

This book is the sequel to The Golden Compass. I haven't read it yet, but apparently there's a leopard in it (according to the cover). Sounds interesting though if you read the back.

The Keepers: The Wizard's Apprentice by Jackie French Koller

Princess Arenelle is the first ever woman to become the next Imperial Wizard, but that could all change when her father discovers a long lost son that could just as well fill the prophecy as she did. She decides to continue with her training however, but when her brother gets kidnapped and her dad tries to go rescue him, she sets out on a rescue mission of her own.

Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry

I read The Giver, to which this book is a companion to. This book seems to be like it.

Nzingha: Warrior Queen of Matamba by Patricia McKissack

Part of the Royal Diaries series.
