I always go straight to the books when I go to Goodwill, and I don't care how many copies I have of certain children's books, if it's one I love, I buy it. That way I can give them to my granddaughters for keeps. Oh, one more thing, I do the bookfair every year at my kid's old elementary school. Even though It's been about ten years since my last one was there. The school has almost no parental involvement and I have built up a friendship over the years with the librarian, so every year in March she calls me and I go work at it everyday that it runs. I love Ted Arnold's books! Have you seen "Green Wilma"? That is one of my favorites. I have also just discovered a great series of older kid books by Mary Hoffman "Stravaganza" really good reads. I have so many favorite adult books it's hard to choose. I'll go with "A Painted House" by John Grisham and "Hearts in Atlantis" by one of my favorite authors Stephen King.SuzanSayzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09545369244955105549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546654757754279791.post-35969101394369227982008-05-21T13:23:00.000-07:002008-05-21T13:23:00.000-07:00I LOVE yard sales and thrift stores!

I guess I need to get some tips from Amy the Librarian on some good ones to start! <BR/><BR/>Yound Adult: Right now I am starting "Twilight" and I love it. I loved to read the Anne of Green Gables series growing up.<BR/><BR/>Children's: When I was little I had to be read "Duck Feet" by Dr. Seuss all the time, so that was my favorite then... Now I really like "I'll love you Forever."Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06072020245140615342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546654757754279791.post-48746507404011003922008-05-21T11:33:00.000-07:002008-05-21T11:33:00.000-07:00Now to answer your questions earlier... Lately I ...Now to answer your questions earlier... Lately I have found some antique kitchen utensils and an antique baseball glove (at the Richland Goodwill), a hutch that I need to re-do from a yard sale -- actually, you just need to come to my house sometime. As I look around, probably 90% of my "things" and furniture are from Goodwills or yard sales. I usually go back and forth between the Richland and Pasco Goodwill - but I sometimes go to the Pasco and Kennewick St. Vincent. And I also try to yard sale every Friday. :)Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415664356523644315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546654757754279791.post-67312287551773736712008-05-21T10:29:00.000-07:002008-05-21T10:29:00.000-07:00Amy!!

A new one to add to my reader. :-) I'm a huge reader, so narrowing down my favorites are super-super hard to do. But I can't pass up a chance at a fun giveaway like this one. Soo...<BR/><BR/>Adult - I'm not usually a huge fan of LDS fiction (it's a bit cheesy), but the Work and the Glory series will forever be one that I could read again and again. The Kingdom and the Crown series by Gerald Lund is also one of my favorites.<BR/><BR/>Young Adult - well, not to copy Alicia, but I'm a Twilight fan also! I also really loved Eragon and Eldest, too.<BR/><BR/>Children's - I love Click, Clack, Moo and Giggle, Giggle Quack and Parts, by Tedd Arnold<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the super, long comment, but I love the yard sale find. So nice. I'm a big fan of yard sale shopping, too. I always go to the book pile first, it's how I found most of the books we own. :-)Shaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12854126432564431357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546654757754279791.post-4226648511050281742008-05-21T09:46:00.000-07:002008-05-21T09:46:00.000-07:00Amy, you are such a bargain shopper.

I was anticipating, "beautiful bookcase, to house all the books I just bought." So when I read stamp sets I got a good laugh. I hope to have a library in my future house with a ladder that slides across the shelves. I love how well-read you and your kids are.<BR/><BR/>Adult Book: Leadership & Self-Deception <BR/>YA: Finding Faith<BR/>Children's: Johnny Lion and the Rubber BootsJenFieldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16020998359291339257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546654757754279791.post-65061312278206772382008-05-20T22:32:00.000-07:002008-05-20T22:32:00.000-07:00books are my favorite to find at garage sales/good...books are my favorite to find at garage sales/goodwill. you came away with quite the stash.<BR/>adult - poisonwood bible<BR/>young adult - island of the blue dolphins<BR/>childrens - skippyjonjones (the original)Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12270526703912355952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546654757754279791.post-86957345304835905232008-05-20T19:49:00.001-07:002008-05-20T19:49:00.001-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.hatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759777741358743601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546654757754279791.post-28548424243160824052008-05-20T19:49:00.000-07:002008-05-20T19:49:00.000-07:00Amy- I think that since our husbands spend so much...Amy- I think that since our husbands spend so much time fishing together that the next time you go bargin shopping/yard sale shopping that you should take me.
