Book Sale #1: Day #3

[katekintailbc]

The last afternoon is the afternoon of the bag sale. I was thoroughly disappointed this time. They included media, which was great, but NO paperback fiction from the other room. Every year in the past, they've included it. Why did they stop this year? So I only filled one bag. I saw a few books on my way out I wanted but I didn't want them bad enough to pay another $5 (used to be $3 a bag). I figured since I'm going to the Book Thing this month, there was no need to pay more for books I didn't really want or need.

41 books (12 of them audio books) for $5.

So the total for the book-buying this weekend is:
117 books for $117.50. So about a dollar a book. Which is really bad, percentage-wise. But considering quite a few were audio books and books off my wish list I might have bought at full price anyway, it's actually a pretty good outcome. If I could go to the book sale #2 bag sale I'd TOTALLY clean up. Especially since kids books are included in that one as well as fiction. But for all the limitations this year, not too bad in the end. I'm happy with my new books.
