Did I need to go to the thrift store on my lunch hour and buy more books? Well, probably not, but I did have fun! I found some great stuff this trip.
Some mysteries (and a little sci-fi) for me:
And a bunch for my girls:
Have you had any great finds lately?
I got the Lovely Bones book the other day for 40p, which was great since I’ve been looking for a copy for ages.

Looks like you did good this time. Some of my favorites are books you’ve gotten from library sales or thrift shops. I make myself stay away from the Book Cellar until you and the girls come again. I have too…. many stacks to read now. Isn’t it fun?

It is amazing how few John D MacDonald novels are still available outside second hand bookstores and Amazon.

I always keep an eye out for John D MacDonald, Mickey Spillane, Fredric Brown, and Dashiell Hammett. Even though you can get some as reprints, I love the old covers.

I hadn’t either until a friend told me that was where she did all of her book shopping! I might find nothing one time, but then I hit the jackpot the next time.

I do! It’s as much the thrill of the hunt as anything else. 🙂

I went into a charity shop recently and came out with 5 books for £1.50! Definitely didn’t need them (and most were chick lit) but I’ve got a holiday coming up so that’s my excuse!

It’s a good excuse – mine is only that I needed to kill an hour before I had to get back to work! 🙂
