Thrift with Me! I spent $17.85 on books to resell in my bookshop!

 I could not stop myself from walking down a new road on a morning that smelled like Fall. I was a few minutes early to the Hospice. They had all fall and winter items. I told myself I wouldn't spend too much and I do feel like I need to work on my overspending. Tell myself not to buy myself anything, everything that is purchased is for resell.

I added 13 books to my inventory. That's 13 books I need to list this week!!!



- I Spy A to Z a book of picture riddles, in great mint condition

- Bones by Steve Jenkins 

-2000 I Want to be in the Show, Blues Clues with original Steve
