Showcase Sunday 22. Book Fair edition.

 
I went to a book fair yesterday and I saw so many awesome books. I really had to stop myself, but in the end I still bought a lot of books. I'm so happy with them and I did a great job, because they were so cheap now! And my parents were so sweet, because they paid for four books (L). I really hope that I get the job at a bookstore; if I had more money, I would have bought so much more. I think I had the double amount of books in my basket, haha.

All prices are in euros.
-Robin McKinley - Sunshine. (1.95)
-Juliet Marillier - Complete box: Wolfskin & Foxmask, Dutch edition (6.95)
-Jonathan Mayberry - Dust & Decay. (4.99)
-Suzanne Collins - Hunger Games classic box (14.95)
-Cassandra Clare - Clockwork Prince (4.95)
-Y.S Lee - The Agensy: The traiter in the tunnel (3.95)
-Jodi Picoult & Samantha van Leer - Between the lines (2.95)
-Melina Marchetta - Finnikin of the Rock (4.95) and Froi of the Exiles (4.95)
-Wendy Delsol - Stork (3.95) and Frost (3.95)

I've heard great thinks about Melina's books and I couldn't get the Dutch copies from Marillier anywhere. I did a happy dance when I got this box :D Another pile of books added to my collection of many unread books. I love them.

Show me your link! :)

      I just found out that it's part three, but I think you can read it as a stand-alone? :) What do you suggest?

    The Agency books are brilliant. I think you'll enjoy them quite a lot. And I really liked Sunshine though to be honest, I am still mad that the author refuses to write a sequel to it because it didn't feel as though the book was done. There's so much story left!

    Gotta love the Hunger Games trilogy! They really are one of the most memorable books I've read. I have had Clockwork Prince [and Clockwork Angel] on my shelf for quite some time now but I have yet to pick them up. What is wrong with me? LOL.

    Anyway, enjoy your books!

    Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang! I can tell you from experience that working in a bookstore is extremely dangerous. Proceed with caution. They pay is abysmal and the merchandise twice as appealing when you're surrounded by it for 8+ hours.
