Bought used at Thrift Store

So I found these interesting looking Twilight editions in my favorite thrift store.  I bought them for 50 cents each.  I plan to trade them for other things.  Also yes, I love poetry.

All in all, my book haul this month was really big considering I didn't go to any of the conventions.  How was your May?
