  2. The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
  3. The Moral Compass by William J. Bennett
  4. The Rapture of Canaan by Sheri Reynolds

  6. Gods in Alabama by Joshilyn Jackson
I also received two books for review from FSB Media:

  2. The Recipe Club by Andrea Israel, Nancy Garfinkle
What fabulous finds did you pick up this week?

Have a happy weekend!

So can I ask how much you typically spend on these fabulous thrifty finds?

My last fab find was a replacement copy of Barbara Kingsolver's Prodigal Summer. I love that book! Thank you Goodwill!

Heidi, if the books are paperback I pick them up for 99 cents. Hardbacks are $2.99. Often, though, they are half off of that!

I keep going back and forth on whether to read Prodigal Summer. I'm afraid it would be depressing. Is it?

No, it's not depressing. It's a really beautiful book, very earthy & sensual at the same time. I love that Kingsolver's female characters are always strong & well-developed- this book was no exception! I was so sad when I loaned my copy out & didn't get it back (which is obviously why I bought the replacement)! If you read it I'd love to know what you think!
