Over the past couple weeks, I have found myself frequenting local thrift stores and garage sales, but what I always keep my eyes out for more than anything else is books. Books at these kind of places are usually placed anywhere from a quarter to a dollar- you really cant beat that! So whenever I find them, I pick up every single one that looks interesting, because I can't feel bad about buying a book that only cost me twenty-five cents!
I also got to go to a local library book sale, which was huge, and amazing! I was probably one of the only people there under the age of 50, but it made me really happy because I hope I still get as excited as those older people did over books when I get to be that age!Here is the cumulative list of the books I've gotten dirt cheap recently, adding to my ever growing To-Be-Read list!
The Casual Vacancy by JK Rowling
