As mentioned in this week's Thursday Thirteen post, I received two Patricia Cornwell books for Christmas, each book three in a different series. No worries, I thought, that only gives me valid reason for dropping in on the Sequoya Library's monthly used book sale. Along one wall they have shelves dedicated to the paperbacks of some of the most popular authors such as Nora Roberts/JD Robb, John Grisham, Sue Grafton and Cornwell.
They had about two dozen books by Cornwell, with doubles or triples of some titles. And...total score! I found three of the four books for which I was searching, for only fifty cents each. I'm sure if I keep checking back I will eventually find the second Andy Brazil. Now to work the new books into the reading queue...

Score! I don't have any good sources right now. If I really want a particular title, I have to hunt it down on line. Not that my local book stores are worthless, just not that reliable. Don't get me started about the library sales.
I know I am spoiled by the number of bookstores (new and used), as well as library sales, near me. I have scored a lot of good deals at the Sequoya Library's monthly sales, but there are also a lot of months I walk out of there empty-handed.
That's the usual hazard with second hand.
Yay! Glad to hear that you found some of the Cornwell books.
There's actually a UBS that just opened recently in my little town. I haven't been there to check it out yet, though. Maybe I'll do that while I'm off next Monday. Shoulda done it while I was off for Christmas. But there was too much lazing around to be done then. hehehe
What? You haven't been in to check it out yet? I hope it is a decent UBS!
