#thriftythursday
One of my
#2025readinggoals is to reduce the number of physical books I buy until I clear off my TBR shelf—but I’ve made exceptions fir thrifted or used physical copies of books I love and banned books for my collection.
Naturally, I couldn’t pass up these thrift store finds:
📚 Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly — One of my favorite books and movies. Thrilled to have this on my shelf.
📚 The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain — A banned book, so of course it came home with me.
📚 The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephanie Meyer — Slowly but surely completing my Twilight collection.
📚 Mala’s Cat by Mala Kacenberg — This was my one exception to the ban since I haven’t read it yet. It’s on the cat-themed TBR shelf I built for myself on StoryGraph, and for 99 cents, I couldn’t resist grabbing it!
I was at the thrift store with my sister, about to check out with my books, when she spotted a shelf full of creepy dolls—so of course, we had to investigate. At the bottom of the pile was a Madame Alexander Jo from Little Women. My sister and I share a weakness for leaving any Madame Alexander dolls behind—it just makes us sad. But I’ve been wanting to collect the these dolls for my themed Little Women bookshelf, so I had to grab her. Even though her face is a little bleached and she’s not in the best shape, I’m thrilled to add her to my Little Women bookshelf. Tortellini and Azlan are oddly fascinated by her too!
