Our Fall FOL library sale was this morning, and I made out pretty well! I got the first 5 books of Throne of Glass series, 3 new Atwood‘s, Fire by Kristin Cashore (my fave of hers!), 2 Christie collections, The Gothic World of Anne Rice, and the next 3 books in the series a friend‘s son is reading all for $35!

GypsyKat Wow! Incredible book haul! 😍 5y

We went adventuring today, and happened upon this. Even with half my books boxed up because of home repairs, did I exhibit self-control? Of course not! $1 a bag, and we bought 3. Pictures when I get home. #sorrynotsorry

Leftcoastzen Wow , Fancy sign! 6y
RiverKScottWrites Yaaaaass 😻 6y
Lcsmcat @Leftcoastzen They seem to have this sale regularly. It was at the public library in a town of about 8000 people. 6y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled $1 a BAG?! 😱 6y
Lcsmcat Yep! We got there at the end of the sale. 6y

So, I‘m on a total spending fast (because life) and my husband sends me THIS PHOTO of the line outside the library sale. This is only the elite Friends of the Library group, no less—it‘s not even open to the public yet! Is he trying to torture me?! 🥺

Soubhiville You can join the friends at the door usually, and it‘s not expensive... you should go! 6y
saresmoore @Soubhiville I want to, I really do. But I‘m sticking to my spending fast ‘til we get out of debt. 😩 6y
mreads I'm sorry 😕. Bad hubby 6y

Aimeesue 😱😱😱 6y
Leftcoastzen Yikes! I always give myself the right to spend if it‘s a once a year sale. 6y
saresmoore @Leftcoastzen I would normally make an exception, too, but all the exceptions are what got me in this mess! Okay, well, really it was graduating college when the economy crashed and my husband‘s grad school, but still. I‘m cracking down! 6y
Leftcoastzen I understand,I‘m on a tight budget, but little debt and I only have cats to feed not hungry,cute kiddos!🙂Stay strong! Can‘t tell you how many times just borrowing books from the Library got me through tight times. 6y
AlaMich “Elite” friends of the library? That seems somehow...unlibrarylike to me. 6y
Dragon I‘m really enjoying my library ‘s CloudLibrary App. It‘s easy to borrow ebooks and audiobooks, it‘s helpful for keeping my book spending under control. 6y
erzascarletbookgasm Sigh...stay strong ❤️ 6y
LeahBergen 😩😩😩😩😩 6y
batsy Gaaaahhhh! 6y
saresmoore @AlaMich It‘s not really elite at all. $20 at the door, but I‘m bitter. 😬 6y
saresmoore @Dragon I love, love my library and especially their digital collection. I never have a scarcity of reading material and that‘s truly something to be grateful for! I suppose I can survive missing the book sale. 🙃 6y
AlaMich @saresmoore So, it‘s sort of democratically elite (as long as you have 20 bucks) 😆 6y
Dragon @saresmoore we have a big used booksale here in May. I haven‘t finished the books I bought at the last two sales. I really shouldn‘t go , but I probably will. I‘m weak willed 😀🐉 6y
Suet624 So many temptations in this world. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 6y

JaimeDawn As in Oklahoma City? Is this a yearly thing? How have I not known? I am in Oklahoma (edited) 6y
LaraReads @irre @Lcsmcat it was really amazing. And a tad overwhelming! 6y
LaraReads @Crazeedi agreed! My library system is not that big either, but this serves all of Oklahoma County & the metro area so it is huge! 6y
LaraReads @JaimeDawn yes, Oklahoma City! This is my first year going to the Metro library sale, and from what people told me it was better than it was last year! 🤷🏻‍♀️ I‘m in Norman, so we have the Pioneer Library System sale, which is great, but this was on a whole new level! 6y
Crazeedi @LaraReads that's just awesome 6y

Great #librarysale haul. All this for $7.25.
I had double the amount of books but was able to pare it down. A few were on my #the list and only one book was a duplicate of what I already own. ☺

Day 3 was half price day at the library sale, all this for $20. Plus I had the day off so I could spend as much time as I wanted. I found so many things I didn't see the first time through that were on my wishlist and took a chance on a few that looked interesting, for these prices I couldn't resist!

MStew Awesome HAUL 6y

Day 2, library sale, day 1 was a bit overwhelming crowded and hot, day 2 much more relaxed. You know I love a good punny title so I picked up Play it Again, Spam and Tequila Mockingbird on title alone 😂

The library book sale is going on till Tuesday where I live and these are what I got from Day One. The books gets cheaper as the days go on, so I‘ll definitely be back almost every day! ❤️

amb My library sale is next week are you still looking for books for your book drive? 6y
LisaJo Wow, that is some fantastic library book sale choices. 6y
BookaholicNatty @amb if you find any newer YA/middle grade books that are really good. I have all the twilight, hunger games, maze runner, vampire diaries, Judy Blume series. But if you see anything that fairly new and really good feel free to send them. I have sent my teacher friend Erin 3 big huge boxes and she has been so so so appreciative. I still have like 3 more to send her! It‘s taken me some time to sort thru everything and organize it all!! 6y

The $35 I just spent at the library sale could easily buy #dinnerfortwo, but I spent way less than what I would have spent at retail! This was from my local library sale this morning. We went to our city‘s main library‘s sale last night and it was HORRIBLE. This one, as you can tell, was much more successful. Will be posting my full haul tomorrow because I have a feeling my book buying isn‘t over. 🤣 #aprella

All this for $12.75 today at the library book sale. Score. #bookhaul
Quite a few here were already on my #tbrwishlist.
I‘m so excited that they had a new looking Tequila Mockingbird to add to my kitschy cocktail book collection.

And I only bought two ($1.00) that I already have. 😊 So, those I will #readitforward.

MaleficentBookDragon There is a mad rush for these sales. One group heads to kids, one to bestseller hardcovers, the last one to trade paperbacks. I start at trade paperbacks. You have to dodge the people there who are resellers; they have big rolling crates and boxes. 8y
