Need Used Book Sale Recommendations!
Hi all--I am going to a used book sale on Tuesday (not the huge one we go to in Ithaca NY--that's next month!). It's a good-sized library sale, and the nice thing is that all of the paperbacks and hardcovers are just $1! However, nothing is alphabetized, just roughly grouped by category.
I would like to pick up a few new novels. The easiest things to find would probably be books that were popular 3-5 years ago, as the sale often winds up with multiple copies of these. Any recommendations? I don't usually read series (I hate having to keep up!) or YA. I like popular fiction, British/Irish fiction, some chick lit (although now that I'm in my late 40s with no kids, I feel like I'm aging out of that genre--maybe "hen lit"?), some thrillers (e.g., I love Stephen King, Jonathan Kellerman--but not really into spy stuff), etc. Hope that gives you some idea! I'm actually not very picky.

Shelley, thanks for the response! I don't think I've read any of those authors...I know that that Stieg Larson did The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series (and, as I said, I'm kind of reluctant to get into series--I think I got burned out on Outlander!), but I don't think I know any of the others. Do you have favorite books from them?
I did make a note to look for other books from Kate Morton; I loved The House at Riverton.

Thanks for all the recommendations!
Lynn, I did read & love Joyland, but I hand't really thought to try one of Joe Hill's books (we did see the movie Horns and liked it though). Good idea!
