Book Sales Make Me Happy!

Hello. My name is Kristina and I am addicted to book sales.  Just walking into a book sale makes my heart flutter with excitement.  I know, call me crazy!!  I go because many Five in a Row books are out of print and because I LOVE paying under a $1 for a classic-- I get some sort of 'book sale high' when finding a super deal! 

This past Friday's hot date was to my local library's book sale!  Exciting, I know!!  My sweet hubby and kids drove me and waited for me while I searched high and low for Five in a Row titles.  Probably the last 3 out of 4 book sales I have found at least one book to add to our collection.

And Friday was no different.  Check out my goods!! 

After I got home, I googled book sales in the area to see if there were any other sales going on this weekend and sure enough there was.... And so Saturday's family event was taking me to yet another book sale!  For $3.00 I got:

Ferdinand
Peter Rabbit Tales
The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge
Harold and the Purple Crayon
Paul Revere's Ride
Owl Moon
Pioneers of Flight (looks like a great go-along for The Glorious Flight)
The Yangtze ( go-along for The Story about Ping)
Meet the Babars (not pictured: go-along for To Duet or Not to Duet)

Mind you, they aren't new... they have been well-loved, but for $3.00 you can't go wrong! 

I know this wasn't the most thrilling post, but if you stuck through it I'd LOVE to bless you with the copy of Ferdinand I recently purchased (US addresses only!).  We already have a copy, so if you are a fellow 'rower' and would like your own copy be the first to leave me your email and it's yours!!  It's been given away!!

  2. I love book sales too (books are the one thing I rarely say no to when my kids ask me to buy them). All that for $3? You scored!
