{Sunday Post} — The Books Are Out There
★★★★✰
Even though I already have the Kindle version, I've been eying the hardcover of The X-Files: Perihelion by Claudia Gray. The book finally went on sale last month, so I had to order it. Now, I need to find the time to read it.
I picked up Freida McFadden's thriller, The Crash, at Walmart at the end of January, and I also picked up Survive the Night by Riley Sager this past week.
I went a little crazy at Dollar General, buying seven $3 paperbacks: Black Fox and the Outlaw Kingdom by Matt Braun, Ralph Compton's The Reluctant Lawman by Craig Barstow, Lincoln's Last Trial by Dan Abrams and David Fisher, The Lincoln Conspiracy by Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch, Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Treachery by Brian Freeman, Robert Ludlum's The Treadstone Exile by Joshua Hood, and Viral by Robin Cook.
I went to an antique flea market at the end of January and—don't be shocked—bought four Western paperbacks: Lonestar and the Alaskan Renegades by Wesley Ellis, Lonestar in the Choctaw Nation by Wesley Ellis, Slocum and the Avenging Gun by Jake Logan, and The Sunshine Basin War by Jake Logan. For only $2, I got Valley of Wild Horses by Zane Grey on hardback; published in 1927. Also, I got With These Hands by Louis L'Amour and Artic Drift by Clive Cussler and Dirk Cussler.
Back to my finds, I picked up three Tom Clancy paperbacks: Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell: Checkmate (written by David Michaels), and Op-Center: Out of the Ashes (written by Dick Couch and Geroge Galdorisi), and two Western paperbacks: The Changing Wing by Don Goldsmith and Stagecoach to Purgatory by Peter Brandvold.
I grabbed three hardcovers from Dollar Tree for $1.25 apiece: Sea Hawke by Ted Bell, Prodigal Son by Greg Hurwitz, and The Silent Wife by Karin Slaughter.

You read some hard core thriller books and sci-fi. I have some of those to read too like Riley Sager. Hope they are all fun to read.
ReplyDeleteNice new reads! It's hard not to go crazy on purchases when books are under $5! That's a steal! I hope you enjoy all of your new reads!
