Thrifty Books

Today after picking kiddo up from a President's Day sleepover, we ran errands to three of the local libraries, returning books, checking out a few things, and picking up some holds. At one of the libraries I popped into their used book sale room and found the following wonderful items:

I only paid $5.00 for this whole stack! Each of the No Fear Shakespeare books alone is $4.95 at a retail book shop. Those alone would have been a good enough deal at that price! But add to it the Lowry book, the Dickinson poems, The Odyssey, and the Heirloom Machine Quilting book and, well, I was just beside myself with delight! (The quilting book shown here is the 3rd edition, but Amazon has the 4th edition available. I really like this book and would heartily recommend it!)

And so was kiddo. She LOVES Shakespeare and really enjoys how we wrap up a study of one of his works by using the No Fear Shakespeare books. These two additional ones will be proudly placed along side the other ones as well as the rest of our books on Shakespeare. But that wasn't all that made her happy. Oh no.


This is her reading the Emily Dickinson poems book... while I drive down the road. Actually, I had been stopped at a red light and was *just* pulling away when I managed to snap this one off. (which is why it is blurry artistic looking) She loved it when she was flipping through and found "Nobody" and "The Grass" as these are two of her favorite Dickinson poems! "The Grass" was one we covered when we studied Emily Dickinson last year and "Nobody" she came across when reading the book Gilda Joyce Ladies of the Lake ages ago. (How she recalled the actual book title this long after, is completely beyond me! LOL)

Anyway, just had to share my frugal finds for the day!
