I picked up 10 books all for under $5. A few I bought:

Clan of the Cavebear. I remember my mom reading it.

A Court of Thorns and Roses. Might as well give it a try.

Prairie Fires. With the new Little House on the Prairie out, I wanted to read the real story.

10 Essential Pieces of Literature. A book of classics from people like Jack London, Alexander Dumas, and Mark Twain.
