Book Splurge!

This past weekend, I headed down to Olympia to meet up with my friend Cait and to hit up the big library sales at both the Lacey and Olympia Libraries, as well as check out Cait's favorite Goodwill and used book store. Not only did we have a blast, but we got some fantastic books for super cheap! At the library sales, all books, including hardbacks, were only $1 each. So yes, I did spend a bit of cash on books this weekend. But if you add up what I would have spent, the savings is enormous!

Here are the books I picked up, with links to their pages on Goodreads.
