Strand Books Haul!

I've been on spring break from school this week, and happily had the opportunity to spend some time reading for fun. It's not often that I get to do that, so I took advantage of my vacation and quickly whipped through three books. Today, the weather here in NYC was beautiful, so I decided to make a trip to Strand Books to peruse the outdoor book racks. I picked up a few goodies, and thought I would share them with you.

Strand Books in NYC

If you're a book lover, you need to head on over to Strand. It is a magical bookstore with new books, used books, antique books... you name it! Inside there are three floors filled with winding shelves, but my favorite part are the racks outdoors. On those racks you will find a variety of different books for very little money. They can be about any topic, for anybody, and in any condition. Most of them are gently used, but I have found some that appear brand new. My friend once found a signed copy! The best part, of course, is that these books are priced at mostly $1-2, with some as cheap as 48¢!

Today I grabbed three books for under $4 including tax. How can you beat that?! The books I got are:

• Devil in the Details: Scenes from an Obsessive Girlhood by Jennifer Traig – $2.00
• In the Bag by Kate Klise – $1.00
• Angels and Demons by Dan Brown – 48¢

I was so excited to find Angels and Demons for just 48¢! I really enjoy Dan Brown books, and haven't read this one yet despite it being the first Robert Langdon book. Once I found that gem, I headed straight to the register! 

I can't wait to read these books, and I hope to find more time to read as school starts up again on Monday. If you would like to see book reviews here on OpenLetter2NYC, please let me know in the comments! I would be more than happy to share more about what I'm reading with all of you.
