Hannah (bookwormhannah) | 215 comments Oh, wow! Where is this library?? Mine has a really good fair with $1 a hardback and .50 a paperback (I got 62), but sounds like yours is a better deal still!


message 702: by Bonnie (new)

Bonnie | 171 comments @Anne-The Karen Witemeyer books were $1.99 on Kindle and still are I believe, if you're interested in purchasing any of the three!

@Hannah-It was the Springdale Public Library in Springdale, Arkansas. Normally it's $2 per hardback, a dollar per paperback, except for the smaller paperbacks (mostly romance novels) are somethig like .20¢ They have this book fair once a year.

That might be worth the drive! Mine is the CALS in Little Rock. I think theirs is twice a year.
So you live in/near Springdale? I was just there in August for a friend's wedding.

Lol They let you buy as many bags of books for $2 each as you wanted so maybe it would've been! But, it depends on how much you can find of what you like...I left with just one bag but others left with two.

Yes, I do. Really? Did you enjoy your time here?

Thank you!:-) I guess I couldn't resist any longer...

I grabbed that freebie as well but I didn't know it was amazing so I'm glad I did! I actually was wondering if it was going to be something I would enjoy or not but thought, why not give it a try? So I'm glad to hear it is wonderful!:-) Thank you for telling me about it!!
