2024 Literary Escapes Challenge
2024 Build Your Library Reading Challenge
Inside Trading at My Favorite Indie
Here's what I took with me to trade:
These stacks are a combination of books I've received for review and those I purchased with my own money. I do feel a little bit guilty about trading in volumes I got for free, but honestly, I donate a good 85% of my books to the library, so...
Of these 29 books, Changing Hands accepted 14 for a trade-in credit of $67.80. I know the titles they accept depend on a lot of factors like current inventory, demand, sales, time of year, condition of the books, etc., so I'm always intrigued by which titles they take and which they don't. The books they accepted from me (most of which were in new or like new condition) this time were:
- A Lady's Guide to Mischief and Mayhem by Manda Collins
- The Wish and the Peacock by Wendy S. Swore
- Blink of an Eye by Iris and Roy Johansen
- While Paris Slept by Ruth Druart
- A Trail of Lies by Kylie Logan
- The Elephant's Girl by Celesta Rimington
- The Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley
- The Sanitorium by Sarah Pearse
- The Deep by Alma Katsu
- Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah
- Coop Knows the Scoop by Taryn Souders
- Born a Crime by Trevor Noah
- The Night Swim by Megan Goldin
- Dreams of Falling by Karen White
- Eat Your Heart Out by Kelly deVos—deVos is a local author, so this YA satire/zombie novel, which came out in June, is signed by her.
- Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Katherine Boo—This National Book Award winner explores poverty in India. It sounds super sad, but also totally fascinating.
- Thunderstruck by Erik Larson—I'm a new fan of Larson. This 2006 book by the narrative non-fiction master explores the accomplishments of Guglielmo Marconi and the near perfect murder committed by Hawley Crippen.
- Clark and Division by Naomi Hirahara—This historical mystery/thriller came out earlier this month. It concerns a family of Japanese-Americans who has just been released from Manzanar and is being resettled in Chicago. The suspicious death of a family member who was sent ahead sends them into a tailspin.
