Anniversary Date
Twenty-nine days late, we celebrated our Anniversary. My mom came up and played with the kids (mostly in the backyard) this afternoon. We went out to eat, and then did what everyone does when they are celebrating…went to a used bookstore. lol. It was so nice to wander around without having to keep little hands from pulling things off of shelves and darting off while you try and browse.
You would think that since we are away from the kids we would browse the grown-up literature. nope. I spent most of the time browsing through the children’s section. I probably put back 10-15 books that I wanted for every one I purchased. Most of the books were around $2, with a few at $5. All but one were hardcover books. Sweet!
Although I would have loved to browse the fiction, my reading list goes unread at this point anyway, and I need to thumb through some parenting books on my shelf as my kids suddenly hit new phases that I am not entirely sure how to deal with, so it isn’t like I would get to read fiction anytime soon. Considering I read at least 10 kid’s books a day (on a light day), I have motivation to try and add some variety to that.
The goodwill store close to us is pretty new and is a huge store. They have the best selection of children’s books. I am always shocked and amazed at my findings and that they were less than a few dollars each. I love a good bargain. (it’s a good thing, since I don’t have a choice) Congrats on celebrating your anniversary. Better late than never is what I always say.
Sounds like an awesome way to celebrate your anniversary! I may have to steal that–DH and I are up for a good used bookstore any time!
I liked that the used books I saw at the thrift place on base were in like new condition. We found a dr. suess book there a few mos. ago. Town Mouse Country Mouse is a cute book
Happy belated anniversary
score!
Few things can compare to a well stocked used book store!
