Latest StVdP Haul
Stopped by St. Vincent de Paul's tonight while Dina and the boy went for ice cream. Dropped thirteen bucks. Here's what that gets:
Summer's almost over. Better get busy.
- Harry Connick, Jr's We Are in Love in a one-of-a-kind collector's jewel case: the front has the WAiL booklet, the back and spine the info for the soundtrack to St. Elmo's Fire. Gotta love shopping at Vinnie the P's!
- 5-CD audiobook (abridged) of Sara Paretsky's Fire Sale. Was going to pick up the book at Freddy's $6 summer read table (got Books Five and Six of Stephen King's Dark Tower series there). Shopping around pays off again: got the CD set for $3.
- Mystic River by Dennis Lehane (this copy was formerly of the Roosevelt branch of the Chicago Public Library)
- Right as Rain by George P. Pelecanos
- Hell to Pay also by Pelecanos
- Symptoms of Withdrawl by Christopher Kennedy Lawford (because she likes the author, not because she's going through withdrawl. So far as I know. What are those symptoms again?)
Summer's almost over. Better get busy.
