Festival of (Books) Loot!

Posted on 05:00 by Guy
I did a little shopping this past weekend at the LA Times Festival of Books, doing my part to support several if our local indie bookstores. Many thanks to the folks from Vroman's and Book Soup for the fine selections offered at their booths.


five books bought at the LA Times Festival of Books
If you're having trouble making out the covers, here's a list:
Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys

Retromania: Pop Culture's Addiction to Its Own Past by Simon Reynolds
The Submission: A Novel by Amy Waldman
The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka
American Rose: A Nation Laid Bare: The Life and Times of Gypsy Rose Lee by Karen Abbott

I picked up this one at Mysterious Galaxy's booth--it's the special edition that came out a few months ago.

And I couldn't find this one at any of the vendors, but I promised Kim I'd read it, so I downloaded the e-book when I got home.
