So most of my books have come from goodwill. And when I say most I mean most. I just bought a whole bookshelf or two of books purely from goodwill because they have such a good selection on the good days(which is quite frequent).
Now to specify. I go to Goodwill outlet. This is where the dish out a bunch of bins full of stuff, clothes and soft things thrown into one bin while other things are thrown into another. At mine they have their own book bins that are normally full of books. They cover the whole bottom of the bin, and the bin is at least five feet long and three feet wide.
These bins always have a good selection of books. Always. The books are always in good condition too. As long as they’re not old books. The newer ones seem to always be in good condition.
Today I went and found the best books I think I’ve ever found. I spent 1.25$ on this whole book series that would normally have costed 92$ or so in total if bought brand new. Soft cover books here are 25 cents each while hardcover is 50 cents each. So you can get a good amount of books for the cost of one book brand new. The book series is A Court of Thorns and Roses.
A few weeks ago I had found the whole of A Song of Ice and Fire. I only spent about maybe three dollars on that whole series. It’s awesome. Goodwill is a save, especially for me as my family isn’t the richest of the bunch and brand new books come rare. Not that I’m complaining. I love the Goodwill Outlet and I will always defend it!

I don’t know how common goodwills are where you live, but where I am there’s a goodwill in almost every city, so they’re quite popular here! I haven’t read the book series yet, so I’ll have to give them a go as well. If you do end up going I hope you enjoy it! :3

GOODWILL SOUNDS SO COOL! ^_^ my country doesn't have it but everything I've seen about it seems good minus da corporate stuff... if I ever visit america I'm sooo checking it out, that's awesome! hope you enjoy reading them!!
Yess! You should! Everything is most of the time very cheap so you can get a lot of stuff! I love it for the books and stuffed animals! The corporate stuff does suck though, heard some crap about it, which is sad. :/
