Book sales is something where I let myself splurge. It’s supporting the library! Their prices have gone up in past years but gladly my husband’s income has kept pace so I’m allowed to indulge a bit. I pretty much just picked up everything that looked in any way interesting to me, and bought it. Came home with only three regrets- two books I forgot I already owned (not pictured here), and one that my kid owns and would have let me borrow. The blue one on bottom of righthand pile is George MacDonald’s The Princess and the Goblin. I read all his books a very long time ago when young. Not sure if I’ll like them now, but I’m curious to try and see. The rest of these are all new to me, though quite a few are on my TBR, so I snapped ’em up.
I also got a few gardening books, and this abridged copy of Darwin’s Origin of Species. I have another full copy of that, but the illustrations in this one looked great so I couldn’t pass it up.
And this stack is from a week earlier, when I took myself to the used bookstore next town over. I spent almost the same amount of money as at the library sale, and got a fraction number of books. So the library sale is still a really good deal! And now my personal library tops 2,000 books wooo hooooo.
