Musing Mondays (May 3)

Musing Mondays2 Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about the war books

Do you frequent second hand book stores? Have you ever bought a book home only to find anything interesting within their pages?

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your opinion in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks.

 

I’ll confess, I’m asking this question, purely so I can share this story. It made my week and I just wanted to tell you all.

About a year ago, a friend and I went into the city and did the Town Hall book shops – Kinokuniya, Galaxy Books, Kings Comics, and Elizabeth’s Bookshop. It was a great day and I was very happy to come home with my little pile of finds. Among them was a copy of Neil Gaiman’s Fragile Things which I’ve been reading on and off ever since (I like to make short stories last).

This week, I was flipping through it trying to find something for my brother when I found … this:

Left Behind

Absolutely the best second-hand book find ever! Especially since I only paid $10 for the book in the first place!
