Book Haul This Weekend

On By Jane @ Greenish BookshelfIn 2016, Book Hauls

Last week, I hit 300 followers here on Greenish Bookshelf! Wow, thank you so much! I am honored that so many bookish friends enjoy my blog. I appreciate every comment, every like, and every book recommendation 🙂

My husband asked what I would like to do to celebrate 300 followers. I didn’t even hesitate in answering I wanted to go to the book sale at our library this weekend. I have been looking forward to this for several weeks. And wow was it impressive!

The room was full of tables with labels. Every table was covered with books and piles of books sat underneath them as well. It was book heaven!

I immediately walked to the “classics” table and found so many great classics. I had to tell myself that buying another beautiful copy of Jane Eyre was unnecessary (I have 3!). Then I wandered the full room lingering longer at the paperback fiction table where I found more books than I could carry.

The best part?! Every book was only $1!!!

Here’s my haul this weekend. Can’t wait to read these!
