A new book, really!

I had a gift card to a local used/new bookstore (from selling them books).

On a different day, I used it to buy The Boyfriend List by E. Lockhart.
On this day I bought Kitchen Con by Trevor White.

I wasn't a very good judge of timing, because this particular bookstore closed before I could finish spending my store credit. $9, gone. Poof. Ah well.

Another Thrift Store Day

Thrift stores in January

I hit two Goodwills and a Value Village yesterday. One of the Goodwills had hardly any books, which was very very sad (but I still got one there). Value Village, on the other hand, made me very happy.



60 cents for Angelina, 80 cents for the kitties! (Value Village)



$1.50 - the pictures inside are gorgeous. (Goodwill)



$1.50 each - seriously, I still haven't gotten over the Goodwills around here doubling their book prices, and it's been over a year since it happened. Sheesh. (They used to be 75 cents each, and it was wonderful.) (Augusten was at Value Village, Susan Jane was hanging out at the no-books-for-you Goodwill)



Oh hey, free bookmark! It's nifty - lets you mark the last sentence you read as well as the page. Thanks Susan Jane!



$1.50 each at Goodwill - the top left is a history of American weddings, the top right is a book about a woman adopting a baby from China, and the bottom book is about Tramps. Kinda.



Both from VV - Dave was $1.50, and Lemony was $1.01 - I thought that was one of the Lemony Snicket books I'm missing, but it was actually one of the ones I already had in paperback. My goal is to have them all in hardback, so that's fine.



$2.50 at Goodwill. I cannot resist a gorgeous cookbook from Chronicle Books. I just can't.
