Half Price Craft Book Haul!!

So, I've been a frequent shopper at Half Price Books! I mean, it's one of the greatest places to get books, besides the library. Anyways, I haven't really gone much the last couple years, since I work at a Library. I am very picky and OCD when it comes the cleanliness of books. They can get pretty gross after being checked out a few times. 

Well, they were having their week of coupons and I decided to go in and get the next book in the Outlander series. Of course, they didn't have any! So, with a 30% off coupon, I walked around and decided that I was going to buy something, anything really. I could not waste this trip and opportunity. 

How crazy that all these years, I have never thought about CRAFT books!! I always check the YA/Teen and the adult fiction. The only non-fiction I ever check is clearance. I was walking around and there was a small cove of craft books! I was so excited. I have a ton of them from the library but it gets old having to re-check them out and bring them back home. 

So, I bought a book that I had at home, from the library, and a new one for a total of $10.29. WHAT!! That's crazy! Considering, they are never on sale at the stores and they were each over $20. 

I'll give you a little preview of the library books I have (mine and library). Now, there will be a few of my own!



These are the lovely books in my collection. Down below are the pictures of the new books that I will be adding/replacing to my collection! I went to HPB a couple times, with my husband on the 40% and 50% off days! 



I ended up going several days and taking my husband along. I'll just show you a haul photo below! 


                                

I have so many new craft books that are my own! I'm actually making an amazon wish list for some of the ones I REALLY want that are from the library. I think it will make good Christmas gift ideas and this way I can keep an eye on the prices.

I'm so excited to have found a Quilling book on clearance! I can't find much at the library.. it's an old art, I think. It's just now becoming a tad bit more popular. Still not much in the book area though. So, I'm excited about this book! 


 Gotta love Half Price Books though!! I'm just sad that they didn't have Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon. I need that one ASAP because I just finished Outlander!
