My big library book sale haul. Most of these were

My big library book sale haul. Most of these were in the $.50 section. I find the best books in the "cheap" children's section. It's amazing to me what they consider a good book. But I'll take it! •
I found some really neat new vintage collections... The History of the United States volume 1-5, the 2nd volume was in the dollar section and the others I found in the better more expensive section. They were nice enough to match the dollar section price because they were a set. It's illustrated and goes through American history from the beginning until 1901. The writing is larger so it's going to be an easier read. •
I also happily added to my "Let's read and find out" science books, First Book of Series, All About book series, Getting to know book series, Millicent Selsam, Jeanne Bendick, Glenn O. Blough, the Petersham's, and even a few Messner Biographies. ♥️♥️

We braved thunderstorms and tornados lol but I think it was worth the scary trip home. 😁😂

Book mail 😍😍. You guys, my new favorite scie

Book mail 😍😍. You guys, my new favorite science author is Seymour Simon. His books also regularly have amazing illustrations also. (My favorite 😍😍) An oldie favorite is Dorothy Childs Hogner, though hers are definitely more expensive and harder to find.
And then some more COFAs and one I found whole browsing the public domain 😍😍 about geology. Elements of Geology by William Harmon Norton, Professor of Geology in Cornell College, published 1905.
