  1. Used book sales are my absolute favorite, and my library always have the best sales, so I totally understand your complete happiness here. Cheap books are the best! Have you read Unbroken before? If not, well you better stop everything you're doing and read it now because it is just that good. Even though it's nonfiction, it reads like riveting fiction and Louie Zamperini's story is at once horrific and awe-inspiring. I really need to reread it!

  6. Nice! Although I love shopping the sales, I've been avoiding thrift stores and library sales because of lack of storage space for even more books. I have no self-control when I find books for $1.00 :)
