I only got a few books again this time, but I was surprised about how much I got in cash today.
Night Ride Home By Barbara Esstman 0.75
Under The Skin By Michel Faber $3.00
The Unburied By Charles Palliser $2.50
Wicked By Gregory Maguire $2.50
I got one of the cheaper copies of Wicked. There were some for $4.50, and I think one for a bit more than that (it was a nice hardback one).
I also went by the dollar tree to get tissue paper, a gift bag and a spatula. I ended up also getting a glass and a glass container. Atleast I didn't go overboard.
I stopped by walmart for some stock up items and looked at their books. There was someone organizing it and she pointed me to The President Is Missing. It was $20.00 (if not a little more) and I can get it for cheaper on ebay.
I found out that dollar tree has the latch lid containers that I need for some things (yay!!!!) and so I'll be going back there to get more eventually.

I am so glad you got Wicked. I really hope you like it too. The other books I am not familiar with but they look intriguing to me. I can't wait to hear about them as well.

I am still reading "The Traitor's Wife", but I am getting closer and closer to the end of it. I am not sure how I will summarize the book without giving anything away though.

@morgoodie I already finished it, and another book.
The Traitor's Wife was really good. It was actually written about the author's 10th grandmother down the line.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I am sure you will find a way. I don't mind spoilers as it doesn't necessarily cause me to not want to read the book. I will have to be on the lookout for your post.

I am not familiar with the book titles or authors.

Not even Gregory Maguire? I knew of him, even though I don't think I've ever read any of his stuff.

Yes, he did.
Which is part of the reason why I want to get it.

I read The President Is Missing and really enjoyed it.
I need a trip to the Dollar Tree when I finally get my car back

I will probably purchase it sometime soon. I keep hoping that I'll find it on the shelf of the thrift store but I highly doubt it. Not this soon anyway.
Yeah, I don't go to the dollar tree very often. I was glad I went today. I am going to have to go to another one as well. One I know usually has a little more on offer. I don't think this one (though I'm not sure) even had a fridge section.

Glad you finally got Wicked. Your cover is different than the one I have. Such a great book.
Also glad DT had what you were looking for. Our truck came in this morning I think, I haven't called to check. But we should of gotten new stuff in this morning.

@thislittlepennyearns Thank You. I will definitely look into that. I might do the dollar tree direct order thing. I wonder if I'll be able to get different colored containers that way. Do you know if there is a minimum I'd have to order things that way? Like, could I do just 5 or 10 instead of a case? I assume a case is atleast 12.

@thislittlepennyearns It's the clear ones that have a square bottom and latch. There's a piece of rubber in the middle to act as the sealant.

@ScribbledAdNauseum if you order online, you have to order by the case. That is the downside. And if they are on the shelf in different colors then they come in the case different colors. Which containers are you talking about..I'll look them up and see exactly which ones you are talking about.
