The haul includes an eclectic mix of genres. Among them, some adult fiction, historical fiction, YA fiction, and mysteries (including a whole collection of Agatha Christie murder mysteries). Many come from award-winning authors, a definite bonus. The total cost for all 32 book came to less than $20! An amazing steal! I certainly came away with some gems!
The following is a list of the titles and authors of the books my mom found. The titles marked with an asterisk are ones that I'm adding to my "Must Read Immediately" list. I don't know how I'm going to find the time to finish them all, but I willingly accept the challenge!
