Libraries are the Best Bookstore!

Pin It



My Mom's local library was having their annual summer time used book sale.  Did I ever mention I LOVE library book sales?!!!


We arrived bright and early to get a good look through the tables and tables of books that were for sale.


Although I could have picked up quite a few more, I resisted...thinking about the bulging bookcases back home that are crying to be thinned out.


I did find these three though that I just could pass up.






I have been wanting to read 'The Secret' by Rhonda Byrne for quite a while and it just hadn't found its way into my library book bag until now....and with it being a hardcover in brand new condition with the $17.95 price tag still attached on the back, I had to have it for $1.00.




Next Reader's Digest....well we all know that Reader's Digest have some of the best non-fiction self-help books on the market and I did not have this one in my collection.  'Curing Everyday Ailments - the Natural Way' was something that caught my eye right away.  Trying to live a more simple life while being as self-sufficient as possible, this book was a must have.  It too only cost $1.00




The last of my finds was 'The Illustrated Guide to Aromatherapy' by Julia Lawless.  This was another one that caught my eye right away.  I thought it would be a wonderful addition to the Reader's Digest book and being a steal at 25 cents....well, need I say more?






So if you are looking for good used books that might be a little different, watch for your local library to have their annual or bi-annual book sale.  I never leave empty handed!


Remember to give your loved ones a hug!

  1. I love my little library out here in the country too. They even have dvds and they are free and can be kept for two weeks. Computers, magazines, music and best of all BOOKS. One of my favorite places to be.
