Our Favorite Things — Inexpensive Books

There are few material things of Charlotte's that hold a significant importance to me, however Charlotte's book collection is definitely one of them. Of course she was gifted some of my favorite books in her library. The first is a personalized book that spells out her entire name, gifted by the family of her dad's best friend. The second is a copy of Charlotte's Web, which was inscribed with a sweet note from her Nana Sharon.

I've gotten her some of my favorites like Love You Forever, The Foot Boot, Just Me and My Mom and so many more. I was building up quite the collection, but it was getting quite expensive. I found myself constantly on Amazon trying to find a new book, and we would always stop by Barnes & Noble to easily pay $10 for a book or two. 

We quickly ran into a problem that happens when you're reading multiple books a day—reading the same book time after time can get boring. That's where some of Our Favorite Things came into play, which are books from the thrift store! The number one quality I look for in a book from the thrift store is cleanliness. If it's clean and not creepy, then I grab it. The photo above shows seven books I snagged for under four dollars! You can't beat that. Plus, I remember a few of the books from when I was little, so that's definitely a plus.
