Mt daughter -in-law gave me two web sites that work on the same principal as netflix. For a certain amount each month you can have books delivered to your home.

Jessica, that is what I tell myself ALL THE TIME.... and it's true! You totally need to go!

I have a pretty good sized one coming up Saturday (the first day was today, but I worked)... I can't wait. Kids are coming with me since the hubby is working, so they will score some books too :)

win win win

Damn! Why, oh why did I sign up for their e-mail notification? I just got alerted to 2 HUGE sales this weekend. One sale is at one of my favorite used bookstores in Phoenix, where all books are going to be $1 or $2, and the other is a big church sale with books for 50 cents!

Aaargh, my house it literally being taken over by my books...but I still really, really, really, want to go. What if I find the book I've been hunting for forever?? Seriously, I already have years worth of to-read books at home, I don't need to go...

Sorry, that's just the argument I'm having with myself right now, even though it's pointless. We all know I'm going to go.

☺

ur welcome!

Guess who's going to the VPL for a book sale next week. Thanks for the link Lori!

That book sale in Atlanta looked good to me, Vicki...My best friend is getting married that weekend! DANG!

Isnt it great when we find HUGE sales that we happen to be passing RIGHT by..... !!!

I also found a really great book sale! The sale is Wednesday September 23 through Sunday September 27 in Atlanta, Ga. http://www.bookfairaauw.org/

It's about 2.5 hours away from me, BUT I have to travel for business that weekend, and I will be driving right through Atlanta on that Thursday or Friday. How awesome is that?!

ETA: According to booksalefinder.com they are going to have over 100,000 books for sale...AND all the proceeds go to charity. I don't think it gets any better than this. :)

Hahaha!!!

I am glad this link is working out well for most of you. I cant tell you how excited I was when a past member posted it here.... I was in heaven!!!!

I will send good juju to you Katie in the hopes that the baby hangs on a little longer :)

For anyone in or near Dayton, Ohio...there's a HUGE book sale at the end of April/beginning of May every year. My friend and I have gone the last 3 years and never regretted the 2 hour drive. I've filled my trunk every time for less than $50. I know it's a long ways off, but worth keeping your eyes and ears open come spring.

I just found one 30 minutes from my house using the site Lori posted. It starts 2 days before my due date and ends the day after. Think baby would mind hanging out a little longer so mommy could go buy more books? ;)

there is going to be a book sale at a local church fair, im super excited as saturday 7-9pm is a preview day and then it opens saturday and sunday for a bag sale. Im not sure if you can buy saturday night but i def wanna go and get first dibs if theres anything really good and maybe go back for th ebag sale. I told myself anything I get there i am going to put back for my xmas gifts :D

Thanks for posting this! I found a great sale over the weekend that I went to with my real life book club friend. I got 6 books for $7, and my friend got I think 6 for $4. On a side note, why are hardcovers twice as expensive at sales? I don't find them to be more desirable than nice paperbacks at all! Although the hardcover that I got of The Yiddish Policemen's Union is in fabulous condition and it's a cool cover, so I guess it's ok to have it in hardcover.

See that's how it all begins...I already have my next one marked on the calendar!! Oct. 9-12...lol! I plan ahead!

OOO - just found a great library sale in my area next week.

Oh it's great the last library sale I went to I got 43 books for 33.50!! It doesn't get any better then that.

I have to tell you, I'm afraid to even look!

LOL...oh I see how it is =) Really though before you posted this I had no idea about the huge library sales here and now I know the when and where to get the best deals ever!!

You're telling me! Why do you think I posted it? To feel less guilty, thats why :)

This site is soooo dangerous!!

Wonderful site... But will probably only get me into more trouble! Thanks for sharing! :-)

Awesome site! Very useful.

Just counting down to the local Big One - the weekend of August 22nd, I think.

Nothing near me, but thank you for sharing this website! I will be sure to check this in the future!

I´m jealous... I want to live in the US

i just bought a crap load of books at goodwill but its always on thursdays or fridays, ill be going to another one near me on saturday though so hopefully they have the 50% off sale there too

Thanks for the link Lori! Twice a month on Saturdays, Goodwill has a 50% off sale, I believe this is nationwide. This Saturday is the day...I find a lot of deals on new releases and gently used books at Goodwill...if you don't mind looking at lots of books! :)

I love this site-- and all the book sales :)

There was a book sale about 5 minutes away from my but i didnt find out til the last day and wasnt able to make it. I live in Greensburg, PA anyone know of any good sales around here anytime soon?

Im hitting the Bethlehem one up on Thursday!!

The only one near me isn't till September. Thanks!

Hmmm...no sales near me. The closest is at least 7 hours away. How disappointing.

Think of all the great books you will get at the FRACTION of the price! Its a win win......
