So today there was a book sale; $1 for every hard cover and $0.50 for every paperback. (also $0.25 for each children's paperback, but they only had the Legends of Metru Nui book, and I'm pretty sure I already have/don't care enough to get it. Plus it was in poor condition XP).

So, I got five books for $4.00. ^^ Two of them were cookbooks (one included several recipes to cook eggs... I love it. XD), two of them were mystery books and I found a paperback version of Les Miserables Volume I. I am happy.

As for the mystery books, one of them is about a series of small pranks in a "middle of nowhere town" (doors that were closed being opened, lights that were turned off being turned on, open doors being shut, etc). The Constable wrights one of his connections about these and the recent death of an elderly woman (seems like a natural death too). In turn, his connection, to the Constable's surprise, sends a detective who is revered for his specialty skills in murder cases.

I have high hopes (It's called Fatal Relations by Margaret Erskine).

As for the other, What do the works of Charles Dickens have in common with modern(ish) day murders? I have no idea, but hopefully I'll find out. (Charles Dickens Murders by Edith Skrom). These ones caught my eye (and I love a good mystery, so I hope they're worth the dollar a piece I paid for them. XD).

You know, when going through the books, I noticed that the books I immediately put back on the shelf were the ones that had giant pictures/only praise for the authors and not their works on the back of the book. I guess I just found it annoying how when I look for a description of the story, it tells me about the writers. I guess I think a story should speak for the writer, you know?

Anyway, Billy, GET OFF MY LAWN!
