Bloomington Red Cross Book Sale!

My mother-in-law, daughter, and I ventured to the annual American Red Cross Book Sale.  I'd never been before, but had always wanted to go.  You have my attention when you say the word "book."  I spent twenty bucks (more than I'd intended to), but I got quite a few books that I'm excited to read.

1. Julie & Julia - Julie Powell
2. Pigs in Heaven - Barbara Kingsolver
3. The Lacuna - Barbara Kingsolver
4. The Adventures of Augie March - Saul Bellow
5. Field of Thirteen - Dick Francis
6. We Are Still Married - Garrison Keillor
7. Happy To Be Here - Garrison Keillor x2 (oops).
8. WLT (A Radio Romance) - Garrison Keillor
9. Water For Elephants - Sara Gruen
10. Eat, Pray, Love - Elizabeth Gilbert
11. The Road to Wellville - T. Coraghessan Boyle

And of course, I get home and realize that I bought two of the same book.  To be fair, they had different covers and I'd found them at the beginning and end of my book buying frenzy.  It shouldn't be a surprise.  Garrison is a bit of a weakness of mine.  He's rather brilliant in his creativity and improvisation.  So, perhaps I can start someone else on his writings by giving one of them away.  It was for a good cause at any rate.

So, now I have a good reading list to go into winter with.  I'm one happy girl!!  If you live in Indiana, you really should venture to Bloomington and check it out, it's pretty swell.
