What did YOU buy today? April 2017

Brought home five ARCs, one of which had been sitting unclaimed for some time:

* Curse of the Boggin by D.J. MacHale (pub 9/16; juvenile fantasy)
* Anything Is Possible by Elizabeth Strout (pub 4/17; contemporary fiction)
* _The Driver_ by Hart Hanson (pub 8/17; action novel, author associated with TV show Bones)
* The One Memory of Flora Banks by Emily Barr (pub 5/17; teen fiction)
* The Boy on the Bridge by M.R. Carey (pub 5/17; science fiction, follow up in the same world as The Girl with All the Gifts)

I wandered into a map shop and picked up MapHead: Charting the Wide, Weird World of Geography Wonks by Ken Jennings (Remember him from Jeopardy?) Unfortunately I forgot that I already had that book. Appears I need to check LT before I buy another book as this isn't the first time this has happened.

Ordered The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry and The Descent of Man by Grayson Perry from bookdepository today. And I just realized that they share the same last name! I wonder if they're related.

Four more ARCs:

* Goodnight from London by Jennifer Robson (pub date 5/17; historical fiction)
* The Baker's Secret by Stephen P. Kiernan (pub date 5/17; historical fiction)
* Invisible Emmie by Terri Libenson (pub date 5/17; juvenile fiction)
* The Shadow Land by Elizabeth Kostova (pub date 4/17, fiction)

Received from Bookmooch Hillbilly Elegy. It's been well reviewed but I fear it may be a tad depressing.

I just hit a Friends of the Library book sale at lunch time and think I came away with some good ones. Back with a list when I get them home.
eta - Here they are:
The Weed that Strings the Hangman's Bag
The Oxford Book of Ireland
The Little Big Book of Love
The Little Big Book for Brides
Edgar Cayce: An American Prophet
The Secret Eye: The Journal of Ella Gertrude Clanton Thomas
Endurance:Shackleton's Incredible Voyage
Lincoln's Melancholy
A Year in the Merde
Measuring America
The Road to Uber

Mostly hardbacks and all for $18.

Two more ARCs:

* House of Shadows by Nicola Cornick (pub date 10/17; multiple time period novel)
* The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry (pub date 6/17)

Bought one, plus brought two ARCs home:
