The Holly Jackson novel is for Katherine, the Halloween board book is for Oliver, and the copy of Garden Spells is to keep on hand because I give that book to everyone. The rest of the books are for me. I love Anne Cleeves, and the Galbraith novel sounded interesting (the first couple weren't, but I'm willing to take another chance.) The Escape Room is by a new-to-me author, plus it was cheap. The GreenCraft mag is just a guilty pleasure.
Hopefully the smaller BAM nearer to me won't close. I don't buy many books from brick-and-mortar stores these days, but that's really the last one within reasonable driving distance.

I didn't know Books a Million was still in business. They had closed the stores near us (both in north and east Texas) years ago. It used to be one of our favorite haunts.
I haven't read anything by Anne Cleves except for her Shetland series which I read oh...in a week? It was fabulous. You made a good haul. The only Books a Million close to me is about an hour and a half away. This all makes me sad though. There's still a BN about 40 minutes from me, but when we lived in Plymouth, there was a reasonably sized bookstore that was within walking distance for us. I'd take the girls on Saturday mornings for their kid's reading time and I'd sit and have a coffee at the beverage bar and read or go looking for new books. They'd been there for many, many years and closed not long after we moved. :(
