Last month I saw a Facebook ad from Book Outlet announcing a sale – get 15% off your order and free shipping on orders of $35 or more.  The ad worked and I headed over to the website to see what books looked interesting…well, as a reader, most of the books I clicked on were books I wanted.  It’s like giving beer to an alcoholic or candy to a baby.  There’s no saying, “I’ll just get a book or two.”  Instead I bought 11 books!  Actually, the price for the 11 books wasn’t that bad.  I ended up paying around $47. Woohoo!

After placing the order came the dreaded waiting time.  Since it was free shipping I had to wait 8 days to get my books, but it seemed much loooonger than that!

Below is a list of the books I purchased:

1. The Grave Robber’s Apprentice $4.58
2. Devil at My Heels: A Heroic Olympian’s Astonishing Story of Survival as a Japanese POW in World War II $4.58
3. Benjamin Franklin’s Bastard $6.36
4. Magonia $5.43
5. The Children of the King $5.00
6. The Ice Dragon $3.22
7. The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher: A Shocking Murder and the Undoing of a Great Victorian Detective $1.86
8. The War That Saved My Life $5.00
9. John Lincoln Clem: Civil War Drummer Boy $2.28
10. The Abduction of Smith and Smith $4.58
11. The Hours Count $4.58

Now I just have to find the space to store all these new books until I can find the time to read them.  Wish me luck!
