I like to browse used book sales but don't usually find many books that peak my interest.

I had a set budget for $150, and so I bought the Harry Potter series, It by Stephen King (for my husband), Aesop's Fables, a King Arthur book, Pandora by Anne Rice, Hans Christian Anderson Tales, Grimm's Fairy Tales, a Jules Verne collection book for my brother, and a book of 50 Horror Stories (H.P lovecraft, Edgar Allen Poe, ect.). It cost well over $150, mind you, but the store owner was extremely nice, and knew the dilemma of trying to narrow down that list of books. She took 40% off of Pandora because she hadn't moved it for so long, and then she took another percentage off since I was getting so many, which put me UNDER budget... I was so tempted to buy more, naturally, but this was the most I've bought before and I was so giddy. We spent the ride throughout the area after reading Aespo's Fables (an interest in mine that only grew because of the TDC TZ universe) and the evening (as the town mostly shuts down by 5:30pm) reading from the Horror Story collection.
Many of these I bought in hopes that my children would enjoy them. From the store, in my prior trip I actually got laminated folders that had American History, Anatomy, and Japanese language on them, and a book called The Alchemyst (The Secrets of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel) by Michael Scott and they had a Harry Potter magnet that I keep on my fridge.
As for for the library on my computer...
I have the Harry Potter series (again), The Protector of the Small series by Tamora Pierce, The Study series by Maria V. Snyder, the Little house on the Prairie series by Laura Ingalls Wilder, about 10 history books, a vocal instruction book, more Fairy Tale books, the A Distant Soil series by Colleen Doran, a baby name book, Hagakure, Jacqueline Carey books, Japanese Fairy Tales, James Patterson (Maximum ride) series, The Lost Years of Merlin series by T.A. Barron (11 books involved so far), Myths of the Apache, Serenity-Firefly Comics, Titus Andronicus by William Shakespeare, Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece, My Name is Rapunzel, World religions (14 books), and I suppose I didn't get ALL of them at once but most of them.
