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 am finally getting to our March book haul. And it’s only the middle of April. Woohoo! We found some real gems and I can’t wait to read every single one of them. I need more hours in my day…..
Let’s get into it:
This is my absolute favorite find in March. Hayden and I found this at the bins. The bins are where all of the items for sale at your local Goodwill go to die. It’s an amazing book and I can’t believe that it ended up there. It’s huge! We just sit and flip through it’s pages. Awesome!
