Oh sooooo giddy

I'm bouncing and it is either from the free extra shot of espresso in my iced non-fat latte or the horde of books and movies I just picked up from 1/2 priced books. Oh yeah, the used book store was having a huge Labor Day weekend sale....$1 paperbacks or 10 books for $5 and $1videos and 20% off anything and everything in the store. Yep, I went a little nuts and so did the husband. I left him still there and I spent almost $100. Sooooo many books and now, so much caffeine rushing thru my veins. Where do I begin??

Some of the things I picked up:
- Beautiful hard cover editions (like coffee table edition sized) with illustrations of Alice and Wonderland and The Wind in the Willows
- The Velveteen Rabbit ....family tradition there, long story
- Several Ian Flemming paperbacks: I finally own Casino Royale!
- Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator: It is the edition I read when I was 9 years old!! I now only need the same edition of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
- Some of the Outlander series by Galbadon (Yes, I will share them as soon as I am done)
- A couple of kids' movies we didn't own yet
- a few interesting looking paperbacks

There were some books in particular that I was looking for by Laurell K Hamilton, but the section on the shelf for that author had a huge space, as if someone had just swiped everything by her.
