Well sure, you could stick to the whole stop buying books goal (and judging by yesterday's shelfies you should) but when you have to drive past the library to grab a prescription at the pharmacy & you see the "1/2-Price Fiction'" sale sign out for the library bookstore, it would be a crime not to stop & take a quick look. Then you find 5 books that are mostly on your TBR list already and get them all for $2.50... ????#anothergoalbitesthedust
Jenshootsweddings I consider library and thrift store book sales excluded from the book buying ban! 8y
LeahBergen The Girls is great and Practical Jean is bizarrely good. I'm with @Jenshootsweddings and always exclude those places from my book buying bans. It's your duty to buy these cheap copies to avoid a full-price purchase. 😉 8y
ReadosaurusText Like you, one of my goals was to stop buying new books. SO IMPOSSIBLE. 8y

RealLifeReading $2.50?? Awesome. 8y
My_novel_obsession Reader math - If I read 13 books in January but bought 17 books in how many months will I get through my TBR? I always hated math. 8y
DebinHawaii @Jenshootsweddings I like your style! 😆👍 @LeahBergen I put them on my TBR because of Litsy reviews so there is a good chance I have you to blame for them! 😆 @ReadosaurusText The struggle is real! 😬 @RealLifeReading Yes! The usual prices are $1 HB, .50 PB & $2 for 'new books' so a good deal even before the 50% off. @Anovelobsession I don't do math or even want to think about it! Hah! 😆 8y
Zelma I agree with @LeahBergen. The Girls is a great book! 👍 and that is such a good deal it's more like stealing than shopping. 😆 8y
Cinfhen Another reason to move to Hawaii 🌴📚🌴🕶what an awesome deal!!! 8y
SaraFair And you don't know whether to be excited about the books or excited about the bargain! My "Recycled Reader" used bookstore gives me the same excitement. 8y
