Now these jaunts are always good for a reasonable haul of books, as we hit a lot of different shops, in a wide range of suburbs..
But today, today, I think I broke any book buying record I ever held before this one.. and there have been a few records.. ;)
I give you the haul:
There is another box underneath the box at the back, as well as one that I didn't get in range for the photo of shame.
I am quite uncertain as to whether I should be impressed with my haul, scared of the amount of moola handed over.. or be seeking help from some bookshopping anonymous..
*shakes head*
Of course now all the books need to be cleaned and sorted, then photographed and listed.. mmm..
Maybe I should just go read?
Heaven!!! I am so envious. For that haul I would quit my job just so I had time to read them all in the near future.
ReplyDeleteLOL don't tempt me with that idea, I am having enough trouble trying to get into work mode and ignore my now towering TBR pile.. :D
ReplyDeleteThat's an impressive haul, Edie! There's more books there than I read last year. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! There's a bit of everything in there it should keep me busy for a while.
ReplyDeleteWOW. What a haul... My fella probably wouldn't let me in the house with all that--given I've got a whole wall of book boxes in the garage filled with keepers. And you don't have your own book shop? And you photograph them? Listing, I can see, but...
ReplyDeleteOkay, your addiction is worse than mine (but mine's still plenty bad). (I think I'm envious...) I'd just sit down and read them... :) Enjoy!!
Spectacular! You are awesome. I'm still too afraid to go shopping with you two though!
ReplyDelete@Gail I have a secondhand book website and a storage unit, they were allowed in the house, only because once they listed they'll move to the storage unit. :D
ReplyDelete@Olga We ended up over your way.. sorta.. No need to be afraid, as long as you stay away from the romance books, Jill won't hurt you. ;D Though she may snatch books out of your hands. coughKleypasbookscough
Personally, I'd read first.
ReplyDeleteand it wasn't Kleypas...it was a Camp...have to resort to 'snatching' otherwise you'd shove me behind you where I can even SEE the books...it's happened before. I'm vertically challenged, so I have to resort to other methods...lol Jill
Holy wow, am I proud of you, or what! :D
ReplyDeleteWe should go to the flea markets some time. I haunt nearly all of them. When I'm with the pa though, he helps me haggle books down quite brutally, which is awesome for me, lol.
I've only been shopping with both ladies once & it was over 2 years ago so the memory is a bit hazy. Plus it was the first time I meet Jill, so Edie kinda was on best behaviour. We got nowhere near this amount of books though. I'm very glad I don't have a car or I would come home with similar hauls now & then I'm sure. :)
ReplyDelete@Jill you snatched the kleypas's too. Tho all is fair in book hunting!! :D
ReplyDelete@Jen we so should! That would be awesome fun, we should do that, though I would have to be on my best behaviour.. grr ;)
@Ma Which time was that?? I was well behaved?? You sure??
lol...it all blurrrsssss after a while - with all the shops we descended...Now - how many did we visit??
ReplyDelete2 - Fairfield

Just awesome. I'd love to come with you one day.
ReplyDelete@Jill I am sure I have more than 11 receipts.. lol
ReplyDelete@Suz Will you protect me from Jill?? ;D
