You've heard the saying "God laughs at your plans." Well, I had planned to go shopping on Saturday, at the biggest used book emporium I could find, but I got deathly ill late on Friday night and I'm just now crawling out of it.
So, today, we have chosen a vintage book shop owned by women (bonus points) and I hope they're ready for us. They have 80,000 used books and collectibles. "Jeeves, my shopping cart!" It's like letting us loose in a candy store.
I made a list of authors whose books I still do not own. I might have gotten carried away.

@bookstodon okay so the fine folks at Atlanta Vintage Books really do have over 80k books and collectibles for sale!
I decided to start in the literal bargain basement, and then worked my way up into literature. Took about three hours.
My haul:
A leather-bound illustrated collectible volume of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, as well as traditionally published books by:
Lisa See
Marianne Wiggins
Percival Everett
Ocean Vuong
Robert Harris
Neil Gaiman
David Sedaris
Diane Setterfield
Kate Atkinson
Lauren Groff
Michael Beschloss
Téa Obreht
Muriel Barbaery
Amy Tan
Sue Miller
Sebastian Barry
Laurie Halse Anderson

@kimlockhartga @bookstodon yowza, have a great time!
@SharylStrong thank you. They do online sales, too, if you've been looking for anything. I can check. Their first editions are pricey, but the used books seem reasonable enough.
@kimlockhartga @bookstodon lots of my very favorite writers are on that list. Hope you find what you’re looking for!
@raemariz @kimlockhartga @bookstodon
You’re in for such great reads!
@raemariz @bookstodon Yay for solidarity!
@kimlockhartga @bookstodon glad you’re feeling better though!
@kimlockhartga @bookstodon
Aren't shopping list supposed to help you buy less :)?
@kimlockhartga @bookstodon wow that's a helluva list! I'm glad you're feeling better.
@kimlockhartga @bookstodon are these authors you have read but don't yet own, or authors you haven't yet read?
@rdviii I've read all of them. I might have some of their books, but certainly not all. 
@kimlockhartga I have read only a handful of those, and many of them I don't even recognize. New names to investigate!
@rdviii Do be advised that I gravitate to weird and often obscure fiction.
