Wow! I have yet to read Sarah Dessen. I really should. I have never looked at the bargain books part of Amazon. Is it a link on the main screen?

Look at all those pretty books! I am very jealous. So many of them I want to read. I can't believe they were $5.

I have read An Abundance of Katherines and it was very funny.

Enjoy your books and congrats on the winnings as well :D

I didn't even realize Amazon had a Bargain Books Bin!!!

Dudddde! That's a lot of books! Read some of the Sarah Dessen ones in my pre-supernatural days! I liked her books! Blood and Chocolate was a definite fave of mine too! Totally different than the movie and I like it better than the movie as well, even though when looking at the two as separate stories the movie was good too!

My IMM goes up tomorrow, be sure to stop by!

What a great selection! I deliberately avoid the bargain books because I have way too many on my TBR stack already. But someday I too will read a book by Sarah Dessen. She just seems too ChickLit for my tastes now. I did like Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side, Blood and Chocolate, and Once a Witch though. Happy reading!

Ooh, I love Sarah Desson's books! Great collection score all around!

Congrats on the wins as well! I recently reviewed Lindsay Buroker's “Goblin Brothers.” It'll be interesting to see what you think her high fantasy book.

Woah! I really enjoyed Jessica's Guide and Blood and Chocolate (sooo much better than the movie!). I was sobbing my eyes out when I read Flipped. My fiance knows it as the book with the eggs scene that makes me cry. I hope you enjoy all of these!

Wow. that is an amazing haul. I am SO not going to amazon or I'd be in trouble.

Holy guacomole! You hit the jackpot with the bargain section over at Amazon. I didn't even know it existed! Going to check it out… wish me luck.

WOW again :)

by Julie on March 20, 2011

Nice! Great selection of books. I found that bargin bin on Amazon. I looked at once but never found anything I liked. I didn't realize I could look at different categories. I found a bunch I've been wanting. Never read any of Sarah Dessen's books. I love Ibbotson's covers! I hope you enjoy all your books :)

Reply

by Crystal on March 21, 2011

I totally bought Once a Witch and Jessica's Guide to dating on the Dark Side through Amazon's bargain bin too! I'm so excited to read them and I hope you like them too! Happy reading :)

by Tara on March 21, 2011

Holy Sarah Dessen! *races to Amazon Bargain Bins to buy all of these

by The Slowest Bookworm on March 21, 2011

Wow you did get a lot of book. I can never resist a bargain either. I hope you enjoy them all and congratulations on your wins.

Fabulous mailbox! I can't believe you got each for less than $5.!

Reply

by Felicia the Geeky Blogger on March 21, 2011

WOOT WOOT! Now I don't feel bad about double checking the $5 bin at audible and picking up a few more :)

I do believe you and I would Epic Fail at being sponsers for a book buying ban :)
