One of the best things, in my opinion, about yard sales and thrift stores are the books. We love books at our house and we buy a LOT of them throughout the year. But, I don’t want to go broke; ergo, yard sales and thrift stores.
If you are worried that the authors are getting the shaft when you buy a used book, here is an excellent article about buying used versus new. And yes, we still buy new books too. Who doesn’t love stepping into a Barnes and Noble? The smell alone draws me in, just like a library.

Hello again! I’m getting my March book haul ready for you and guess what? You know. It is my usual mode of not having already told you about what we found in February. So let’s get into it!
First up is a book cover. This one is for mass market paperbacks. I may try my hand at making some of these in different patterns. Especially for trade paperback size books. This will save my books this summer at the beach!

And now to start some controversy: The cookbooks. Yes, yes, I just sent away 32 cookbooks on Tuesday. But those were cookbooks that I have read over and over. I know that when I want to sit down and peruse one of my cookbooks that those were not going to be ones that I would choose to sit and read again. What do you mean you don’t read your cooksbooks!?! Anyway, these are completely new to me and may go to live with someone else soon. We shall see. In the meantime, I can’t wait to carve out some time to sit and read these.
