(FTW) Finds This Week: #2

Finds This Week: #2

 

"Deals, FTW!"

 

This is my version of all those "weekly haul" memes. (More Information)

This last week I did some more thrift shopping, while in search of household items and furniture, among those I hit two thrift stores and Target, and found a few things to add to my collections.




Bought

Thrift Store #1:

The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan $.50
I have been meaning to read this book for the longest time, my mother loves Amy Tan, and while I hate it I can admit I haven't read one of her books. I do however know the story of this one, from seeing the movie as a child. (Yes I can still recall all 4 of the stories.)

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter, #1) by J.K. Rowling $.50
I haven't touched a Harry Potter book in years, I always meant to start my own collection. While this isn't my ideal copy, for $.50 it will do for now. Considering the pages are in much better condition than the cover.

Thrift Store #2:

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Harry Potter, #2) by J.K. Rowling $.50
I laughed when I found this in another thrift store on the same day as the Sorcerer's Stone. Like that book, not my ideal copy, but in great condition (minus the cover).

13 Little Blue Envelopes (Little Blue Envelope, #1) by Maureen Johnson $.50
I love this book and I have read this series, however I didn't either of the books.

Target: 

Lexx: Season 1 & 2 $10
I know this series is sort of.. an acquired taste, to put it simply. I've seen some of the first season and found it interesting. It's a bit more adult in the Sci-fi area than I'd watch, but I'm no stranger to the cult following it has. For $10 I'll give it a try.


Hope everyone had a great week!

  4. Great haul! I loved Harry Potters, and adding my own copies to my collection of books was one of the best thing I ever did as a reader. I often flip through them or re-read my favorite scenes!
