My son: Guess what i finished all my books.
Me: Oh good! Did you want the other ones in the series?
My son: Ugh you didnt buy them yet?
Me: Oh.. Uh..maybe i did i dont remeber...*Jumps on Thriftbooks to order them* 🙃
Figured i may as well order my Dad the others in his series while i was at it!

Didnt buy a single book for myself!

Today‘s mostly blue #bookhaul 💙 See anything that you‘ve read? Anything that‘s been on your radar?

Im most excited for The One by John Marrs, as Im reading it for my booktubers project. #BooksandLala has raved about it on multiple occasions, so I hope I enjoy it too. 🎯

I‘m also slowly collecting The Series Of Unfortunate Events. I want to do a Readathon of childhood favourites soon, and I‘d love to include them.

AmyK1 I just bought We Were Liars too. Haven‘t read it yet. 4y
Clwojick @AmyK1 I think it‘s YA, which I don‘t always enjoy, but it was a 5🌟 read from one of my favourite booktubers, so I‘m reading it for my little project. Hopefully it‘s good! ♥️ 4y
AmyK1 Is it? I don‘t normally do YA either but heard it was good. Can‘t remember now where I heard that lol 4y

bookaholic1 We are Liars was awesome..couldn't put it down, read through the night...loved it 4y
shortsarahrose I went and collected all of the Series of Unfortunate Events awhile back. They were a favorite when I was younger and I am due for a reread. 4y
Clwojick @shortsarahrose I just need 5,11,12, &13 now. ♥️ Hopefully I can get them soon, since I‘d love to do the Readathon in the end of July. I can tag you in the poster once I decide on set dates if you‘d like? 4y
shortsarahrose @Clwojick that would be great 👍🏻 4y

Hope everyone has had a great week! To those who celebrate, I hope Christmas was kind to you. Its been so busy, today is the first day I have felt I can relax a bit. I finished A Blade So Black this morning, and got to sit and visit with a good friend this afternoon. Now, this is the last thing I should be doing right now. There's no book money in the budget , but #CantHelpMyself at these prices. We will see what happens.

wallacereads @mcctrish - Do it! i have stopped buying new books because the VV by me has such a great selection and for much cheaper prices. 6y
mcctrish Where are you in Canada 🇨🇦? ( I am assuming this because I don‘t think there are VVs in the US 🤷🏻‍♀️) 6y

Funny story. After coming home yesterday from the Thrift store with 12 books, I read my emails to find an email from Salvation Army with a coupon for books. 10 books for $5! That is a great freaking deal. Some books they try to sell for $5.99 a piece😱 So I texted Little Miss @Jgally and we made a lunch date to go back today.

Twenty books, and only TEN DOLLARS later we have my stack! (3 books were gifts, and 2 have already been lent out)

JSW Nice!!! I love searching thrift stores for books. You never know what you‘ll find. 6y

Great young adults book about thrift shops! My only quibble is that they didn‘t list as a possible thrift store is Deseret industries.

I spent the day with my MIL searching the thrift stores in town looking for fun decorations for my best friends Classy Disney themed bridal shower, and also for my wedding. We found some great deals, but nothing that made my day quite like finding a pristine copy of my favourite childhood book, Mr Poppers Penguins. I was ecstatic! #thriftshopping #thrift #secondhandbooks #greatfind

Can I just talk with the 23% that think this? 😂
Thriftbooks posted these stats (link below) and some were very interesting.
One said men were more likely to read on the 🚽 than women. 🤔😂

LibrarianRyan My mother is one of them. She will only read the book if it's not out in movie yet. Example. She didn't start reading Harry Potter until book4 and wonders why she was lost?? 7y

Ingerella The Red Tent is in my top 5..I loved that book and wanted to give it to everyone after I read it. 7y
TheLudicReader I have a different opinion of The Red Tent, but Everything I Never Told You is magnificent in every way. Score. 7y
FantasyChick I've never read it, but it has been on my radar for years. I hear mixed reviews about it. It seems like a love it or hate it kind of book so I'll be happy to finally get a chance to read it and see where I land on that scale 😉 @TheLudicReader @Ingerella 7y
TheLudicReader One guess which side I landed on for The Red Tent. 🤨 7y

Successful Thrift Store Shopping: Post 6/6

And here‘s the 17 sweaters and cardigans that I picked up for $2 a piece. It was honestly hard to walk away with only 17... but I came home and purged my closet, and I now have 5 huge bags of clothes to donate. I call yesterday a success!

My lovely finds from yesterday! The thrift store always has the best deals. All ten books for $5! Have any of you read any of these books! Most were on my TBR, with the exception of Fallout. I‘ve read that one multiple times, and I actually have a copy already. But I couldn‘t pass it up for only 50 cents! 🙈🙈🙈 #thriftstorefinds #booksale #saleday #thriftstore

TheBookHippie I've read all things Hopkins 💗with my daughter when she was a teen ..now I have to read them by myself . Looks like fun choices!!!! I've only read the Hopkins. 7y

Clwojick Well I still have to buy books for other people right? Lol and maybe read one or two of them myself before I pass them along? 🙈 I‘m doing pretty good though. I think I‘ve over bought 14 so far this year, and those weren‘t all for me. Lol! @TricksyTails (edited) 7y
Clwojick @TricksyTails also, I‘m waiting on one more thing from eBay that they‘re replacing, than I‘ll be good to mail. Omg! Maybe mid March at the latest, Remind me not to give myself 3.5 months to shop for you next time. Ssoooooo much stufffff 7y
