Book bargains

My seventeen year old daughter loves reading but as our local library has recently closed she's finding it harder to keep her bookcase stocked with a selection of reading material. I've been saying for a while that she should start having a look in charity shops but she obviously hadn't got around to it - so this morning we decided to pop in and have a look to see what we could find on our way back from doing some early morning errands. It's fair to say she got a bit excited and bought a total of 15 paperbacks, plus a couple of very cheap X-Box games - she couldn't believe how much she could save by buying books from this kind of shop and as you're buying what other people have donated there's always an eclectic selection. I bought myself a couple of paperbacks plus three for my nine year old who is currently trying to read a wider variety of books after getting caught up with Diary of a Wimpy Kid and various David Walliams books. One of the books I bought for her today is by Jo Nesbo, who I've heard is a really good kids author. For my five year old I picked up a copy of the Brother Bear DVD which I'm sure he'll love when he gets back from school. Do you like shopping in charity shops/thrift stores?
