Oh, my. We have a new used bookstore in town. I could just as well say there is a used bookstore in town period because I don’t know of another one. But this bookstore? It is amazing. I think the owner said she has over 40,000 volumes in the store. The prices are wonderful. I drop by on my way to other places, like the park or the feed store. I tell the children if they can find a good book, I will buy it for them, because many of them cost less than a dollar–or even less than half a dollar.
It dawned on me that this is my new candy store and from here on out I’m going to have to be careful not to fritter my money away.
Each time I go, I come away with a little stack of books we will need in our coming school years. At this point, I have the time to be picky and only buy copies that are hardbound and pretty. When we get closer to school’s start, I’ll have to buy what I can find. I do detest a paperback when a hardback is available!
Here’s what I’ve gathered in my three {so far} trips to the bookstore:
In case you think I am over-spending, allow me to brag explain that I have spent just over $30 so far. I feel like I hit the proverbial jackpot!
