Summer Book Haul: Part 1

Earlier in the summer, I mentioned on Instagram that I wanted to do a book haul blog post.  I pulled out all of the books that I purchased in June & July to share with you, but that was when I started to get embarrassed.  When I stacked up all of the books, there were a lot more there than I initially thought.....and it was ONLY mid-July....AND it was before I discovered Thrifty Books.  I still had the rest of the summer for books to get as I was prepping for the school year.  Oh goodness Darby!  Today, I’m really just sharing the books we got & loved from the first part of the summer.  I will have to share the rest of the summer with you later. (so I don't feel so bad about myself lol)

Check out the rest of that haul: Part 2 & Part 3

As a rule, I never pay whole price for books; almost all of the books I buy are used.  So where do I shop for books? Amazon, Usborne Books, Costco, consignment shops, Thrifty Books, & resale book shops.  

See I told you this was a bit embarrassing for only about a month and a half of summer.  Don’t judge me.

Okay let’s start with the pile on the left and move across the fireplace hearth.
