Paperback Swap!

OK, I have FAR too many books.

So I've started listing some on Paperback Swap.

This won't really get RID of a lot of books, as it's kind of a 1:1 trade type thing, but it will at least help me clear out books I'm done with and get ones I really want.

Amazon!

I had to buy a present for a friend, so I threw in a copy of The Fortune Cookie Chronicles for me. :) (All for free thanks to SwagBucks!)

One book from a thrift store

I went to a very small Salvation Army and bought my daughter Dog Train by Sandra Boynton for $1.

So now I am even MORE mad at myself for not buying the other Boynton CD/book (sans CD) that I saw last week. (Rhinoceros Tap) Because now I have 3 out of the 4 books like this. Hrmph.

More thrifting!

Ah, two thrift store trips in one week. Now I'm good for a few more weeks...

First I hit the same store I was at on Wednesday (where I got the majority of the books in the last post). The store was running a 50% off sale, but nothing was really that exciting.



Cookbook, 50 cents. Stinky Cheese Man, $1. I already have a lovely copy of SCM, but I grabbed this for crafty purposes, including possibly framing some of the pages.

Next Value Village:



$1.50 each.



80 cents for Blue Moo, 40 cents for Personal Penguin. Blue Moo is missing the CD, which made me hesitate, but I can get a copy of the CD elsewhere. And after I bought it I regretted NOT buying another Boynton CD-with-book-minus-the-CD that I saw on Wednesday. Ah well, next time I see it I'll get it.

Finally, Goodwill:



$1.50 for the hardcovers, 75 cents for the paperback (Yay! Dar Williams's book!). I already have Olivia but again, this is for crafts/framing. The author of the small alphabet book was one of my professors in grad school.



$1.50. I don't really need any more cookbooks, ever, but this was cute.

OK, back to book fast! ;)

PS Bookcloseouts.com is having a HUGE sale on children's books. I may have to break my book fast...check it out!

Thrift stores!

Yay! I needed more books. ;)



99 cents.



$1.50 each.

Yard sale

I bought two books at a friend's yard sale - a book all about cats (caring, feeding, treating illnesses, etc.) and a birdwatching book that I plan to cut up and use for crafts and buttons.

I haven't had a chance to take pictures but I wanted to get them down.

Mostly I've been behaved for the past few weeks (it feels like forever!) and have been getting my fix at the library instead.
