Library Sale Haul!

 Hello Fellow Readers!

Sunday I got to go to the library book sale at my local LIBRARY! (that's how the sign is...) and I got to pick up a couple of books. I probably would have gotten some more and would have spent way longer perusing the sale but little gremlin J was not having it. Either way I spent less than $10 on this haul. Libraries are just AMAZING! Also, if your interested in the tote bag I got it from Etsy store My Secret Copy.

The Ancient by R.A. Salvatore

Searching for his long-lost father, Bransen Garibond is tricked into journeying across the Gulf of Corona to the wild lands of Vanguard, where he is pressed into service in a desperate war against the brutal Samhaist, Ancient Badden.
 
On an Alpinadoran lake, just below Ancient Badden's magical ice castle, several societies, caught in the web of their own conflicts, are oblivious to Ancient Badden's devastating plans to destroy them.
 
Bransen becomes the link between the wars, and if he fails, all who live on the lake will perish, and all of northern Honce will fall under the shadow of the merciless and vengeful Samhaists.

The Hitch Hiker's Trilogy in 5 parts by Douglas Adams

* The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
* The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
* Life, the Universe and Everything
* So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish
* Mostly Harmless

Suppose a good friend calmly told you over a round of drinks that the world was about to end? And suppose your friend went on to confess that he wasn't from around here at all, but rather from a small planet near Betelgeuse? And what if the world really did come to an end, but instead of being blown away, you found yourself hitching a ride on a spaceship with your buddy as a travelling companion?

It happens to Arthur Dent.

An ordinary guy from a small town in England, Arthur is one lucky sonofagun: his alien friend, Ford Prefect, is in fact a roving researcher for the universally bestselling Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ... and expert at seeing the cosmos on 30 Altairian dollars a day. Ford lives by the Guide's seminal bit of advice: Don't Panic. Which comes in handy when their first ride--on the very same vessel that demolished Earth to make way for a hyperspacial freeway--ends disastrously (they are booted out of an airlock). with 30 seconds of air in their lungs and the odd of being picked up by another ship 2^276,709 to 1 against, the pair are scooped up by the only ship in the universe powered by the Infinite Improbability Drive.

But this (and the idea that Bogart movies and McDonald's hamburgers now exist only in his mind) is just the beginning of the weird things Arthur will have to get used to. For, on his travels, he'll encounter Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed ex-President of the Galaxy; Trillian, a sexy spacecadet he once tried to pick up at a cocktail party, now Zaphod's girlfriend; Marvin, a chronically depressed robot; and Slartibartfast, the award-winning engineer who built the Earth and travels in a spaceship disguised as a bistro.

Arthur's crazed wanderings will take him from the restaurant at the end of the Universe (where the main dish of the day introduces itself and the floor show is doomsday), to the planet Krikkit (locked in Slo-Time to punish its inhabitants for trying to end the Universe), to Earth (huh? wait! wasn't it destroyed?!) to the very offices of The Hitchhiker's Guide itself as he and his friends quest for the answer to the Question of Life, the Universe and Everything ... and search for a really good cup of tea.

Ready or not, Arthur Dent is in for one hell of a ride!

Top 10 Tuesday: Authors I’ve Read the Most Books By

Hello Fellow Readers! Today I am participating in Top 10 Tuesday, created by That Artsy Reader Girl. Typically, I don't keep track of the authors I read so I am excited to see who exactly I've been reading the most from and what genre it is! I've had to deep dive into my goodreads books, but while some authors I knew would be picked, others I was surprised about. By the way, the authors are not listed in any particular order, besides who I discovered and whatnot. Enjoy!

1. Shel Silverstein (5 Books)

Not sure if I wanted to include childhood books but I have read these again as an adult so I am including them. I loved these books as a kid and Shel Silverstein was actually the first author I read on my own. 

2. Angie Fox (5 books)

I really liked Angie Fox's Southern Ghost Hunter series, and as soon as I have read the entire series I will dive into her demon slayers series. 

3. Susan Dennard (4 Books)

I've really enjoyed the witchlands series, which I will be started Bloodwitch this month, and I have also delved into her Something strange and deadly series as well. 

4. Jim Butcher (8 Books)

I like Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files series and I am currently listening to the 8th audiobook, I really liked The Aeronaut's Windlass and will be reading the second book when it gets published (hopefully, soon!!!!) and I do have the first book in the Codex Alera series. 

5. Mira Grant (3 Books)

The Newsflesh series are one of my all time favorite zombie books to date, and I really want to read her Parasitology book, as well as her Rolling the deep series. 

6. Auralee Wallace (2 books)

I know I have only read two books by Wallace but I really loved them, and I really wish she would continue this series. I know she also writes a murder mystery series that I want to get into when I have the time. 

7. Amanda Lovelace (2 books)

While I loved to read poems as a child and teenage, Lovelace was the one who really connected my adulthood to poetry. I really need to get more of her books because her poetry really inspires me. 

8. Sarah Blaffer Hrdy (2 books)

I honestly didn't think I would see any non fiction writers on here but I was wrong. Sarah Blaffer Hrdy is a anthropologist and I really love her work. She mostly focuses on female reproduction and instincts. 

9. Amanda M. Lee (3 books)

I don't think I have ever properly reviewed these books on the blog which is a shame because I really liked them. I plan on rereading them in between my requests to make sure I can share with you all my feelings on them

10. Neil Gaiman (3 books)

This one surprised me because I thought I would have read more books by Gaiman but I have only read 3 and one was an anthology. I am currently listening to the full cast production of American Gods, and I want to read more books by him I just have to make some time.
