Thoughtful Thursday--I Bought Some New Books

Tweet

Okay, so they are new to me.  They are all used.  It all began with a read-along I happened to see on one of the many blogs I follow--Colletta's Kitchen Sink   The book is Queen of the Castle: 52 Weeks of Encouragement for the Uninspired, Domestically Challenged or Just Plain Tired Homemaker.  I was intrigued because I sometimes struggle to be consistent with my devotional time.  I like having some accountability.  This goes with some of  my challenges, and so I decided to check out half.com.  

I found a good price on the book, and as I always do, I checked to see what else this seller had to sell.  They had quite an inventory.  No CD's, movies or video games appealed to me, so I began to check out the books.
I began in the historical romance section, and I found a book I had just added to my to-read list on goodreads.com.  















I should have stopped there, but I just thought I would look around some more.  I ended up looking through Christian books, and I spied two by Andrew Murray.  I have heard great things about him, and my mother always enjoyed his books.  So I got:

                            
         and I also got   Entering the Presence of God by Andrew Murray (no link to anywhere, sorry).










I didn't stop after that.  I kept looking.  I found:

        












So how much did all 7 books cost together?  Around $23.  I know they are all used, but that never bothers me.      I also know that I have a lot of books  here, but I had some money from Christmas, and this seemed like a nice treat.

So  add this challenge to my list from yesterday.  I should have the book in time for at least the second week of the challenge.  But that's fine.    I'll catch up!  Hope you can join us!
