Garfield, Star Wars, and Hank the Cowdog

This past Friday at a Goodwill (thrift store) I found 12 Garfield comic books (4 of them have 3 books in one), 3 Star Wars books, and a Hank the Cowdog book. They were all $.39 each plus tax so the grand total was $6.65 - the original price for all (minus tax) would have been $118.36! Most of the books are in perfect brand new shape. It's amazing at the things you can find at a thrift store!

Another series

I'm still reading Eragon, but I am reading another series too. It's called Warriors and is about cats that live in the forest. There are four clans of them. Some are good and some are bad. It follows the story of a pet cat named Rusty. He decides to go look around in the forest because of strange dreams he was having and he meets a cat named Graypaw. He then meets the leader of the Thunderclan and is asked if he'd like to join. He returns home, thinks about the offer, and decides to say yes. I'm not going to say anything else so I don't spoil the series for anyone who hasn't read it yet. Right now I'm reading book #2.

Book sale to benefit the animals

I am currently reading Eragon by Christopher Paolini. I found it at a book sale for $.50 (it's a paperback) and I also found the second book of the series, Eldest, for $1 (it's a hardcover). I enjoy checking books out from the library, but sometimes I'm unable to finish large books before the due date. Eragon is 497 pages and Eldest is 668 pages - see what I mean? I love to read so my family is always looking for used books at a great price. This book sale was to raise money for a local wildlife hospital. I am not old enough to volunteer at this hospital yet so buying these books was one way for me to help them. (Pictured above is a Barred Owl that cannot be released back into the wild and will live out her life at the wildlife hospital.)
