Book Haul || Episode I

Of all the places to find used books, the place I probably go most often is my library. It's literally at the end of my road, and they always have new books on the sale cart. The best part is how cheap they are! I mean, dudes, an adult hardcover is $1.

One. Dollar.

Granted there are some cons. I mean people aren't selling super tip-top shape hardcover books for a buck. They are old library books, so the pages are wrinkled, the covers are dented, and there are those cursed library stickers on them (that don't. come. off. WHY).

But when you are a poor (as in "so-broke-it's-really-quite-pathetic") high schooler, you can't really afford to buy nice books, so who am I kidding.

Anywho, here's my most recent library sale cart raid.




Julie, by Jean Craighead George
The Penderwicks, by Jeanne Birdsall
The City of God, by Augustine
The War of the Ring (Part 3), by Christopher and J.R.R. Tolkien
Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte

I've never read Julie, but my mom has and quite frankly just gushes about it sometimes. So I was like, "Hey! Why not?" 

The Penderwicks, on the other hand, I think I've read four times. Not including the sequels - just this first one. So funny. :D

The City of God I have not read either, but when you see a book by Augustine, you BUY. IT. 

Soooooooo....never even heard of this series by Christopher Tolkien, but I saw it and was like, "Ummmm, YES PLEASE." Of course they only had the last book of the series *facepalm* BUTTTTT I mean you never know. I could find the other two someday. And until then, I'll just let this book sit on my shelf unread because you can't really read the third book of a series first, even if it's a commentary type thingy. XD 

And Jane Eyre. Only read it once, but everybody with a literary heart needs to own a copy of this book.  Am I right??
