Thrift Haul

Hello everyone!

I really enjoy thrifting for clothes and books. Many times you can really find one hell of an item for an amazing price. My younger sister and I recently went thrifting and found a bunch of goodies! So let’s jump into the photos! I’ve noted what stores we found them at and their amazing prices.

I’ve paired these items with other clothes, accessories and shoes in my closet to make simple looks for this post.

Enjoy!

I told you it was a huge list!

We went all out and the only downside to this is that my TBR list has gotten that much longer… All well! This year I am setting my goal at 50 books read and so far I’m two down.

As always, let me know if any of there are on your TBR or if you have already read them.

Until next time, happy reading!

Ebay Book Haul

I love Amazon and Barns & Noble, but getting all of my books there can be so expensive! Rotating between Ebay, Goodwill, and Antique stores is a great buffer for when I don’t have a bunch of money to blow on new books.

I really like getting books from Ebay and I’ve never gotten a book in bad shape. Plus, even though it is the peak of the holiday season I received them all a week early!

Just so we can see how much there is to save I will also provide the price per item (including tax). Without further ado, here are the books I bought in this haul.

All The Missing Girls

Megan Miranda $3.84

Practical Magic

Alice Hoffman $3.84

I Believe in a Thing Called Love

Maurene Goo $4.30 (Hardcover)

The Upside of Unrequited

Becky Albertalli $3.99 (Hardcover)

The Night Circus

Erin Morgenstern $8.00

The Bookish Life of Nina Hill

Abbi Waxman $8.33

The Husband’s Secret

Everything I Never Told You

Celeste Ng $3.99

Every book on this list was a steal and they came in great condition. I really saved big on using Ebay instead of Amazon this purchase. In total I spent $46.47 with Ebay when this would have been a $87.37 purchase on Amazon. And to me, saving $40.90 is totally worth a bent corner or creased spine!

I hope you enjoyed this post and it inspires you to look into Ebay for your next buy! Let me know if you have read any of there or if they’re on your TBR.

Until next time, happy reading!

November Book Haul

Hello everyone!

Recently I went out to a local Barnes & Noble with a few friends to get a drink at the cafe and browse for new reading material. I should have known that I wouldn’t be able to just look. After about an hour and a half in the store I walked out with more than a few books that I am excited to read.

So, let’s get this book haul started and share what I picked up!
