Excellent. "Born a Crime" and "Fahrenheit 451" are great books.

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

Cannot wait to read Trevor’s book. 451 is amazing, definitely on my reread list.

geraldmsliva.bsky.social•26 days ago

I'm sure you will love Trevor's book. I just gave up on Twitter (X) and just joined Bluesky. Will you be my FIRST follower?

cloudsmacabreangel.bsky.social•27 days ago

Scariest book in that haul is Fahrenheit 451. I have a real fear of this administration doing something like that.

creatingcrista.bsky.social•27 days ago

Same… I worry they already are and are just distracting us with all this b.s.

megagainstmachines.bsky.social•27 days ago

Oh I have “Their Eyes Were Watching God” on my shelf!

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

It’s so so good. I read it in high school but wanted to have a physical copy.

megagainstmachines.bsky.social•26 days ago

Same! I read it in HS and it always stays there in the back of your mind. I found it at my local book shop and snatched it up so fast

meamato.bsky.social•27 days ago

Born a Crime is such a good read

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

Cannot wait to start it!

do4rk.bsky.social•27 days ago

Good deal!

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

Yes! I love a good thrift.

americanbookdragon.bsky.social•27 days ago

And this is how I accumulated over 1000 books. 😹

creatingcrista.bsky.social•27 days ago

That is my long term goal! I’m up to 231.

americanbookdragon.bsky.social•27 days ago

It's a lot of pressure. Just to warn you.

creatingcrista.bsky.social•27 days ago

Oh I’m sure! I’m in no hurry, just grab a few here and there as I go.

auntgoose.bsky.social•27 days ago

I'm too scared to count my books.

americanbookdragon.bsky.social•27 days ago

Oh hell, I'm just approximating at this point. Too much effort to count.

acdurkee.bsky.social•27 days ago

Read three of these. Loved them all. Especially Trevor N's.

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

Yes I’ve read a few also. Excited to read the rest.

bellaboopiper2.bsky.social•27 days ago

Awesome finds!! I love thrifting for books 📚☺️

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

Me too! It’s my treat to myself!

lizxphile.bsky.social•27 days ago

I just got Pretty Girls too!

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

Nice! I’m always behind on reading the trendy books. Wait till I can catch them at the thrift for $1.

lizxphile.bsky.social•26 days ago

I looove trolling thrift stores for books!

magentabyfive.bsky.social•27 days ago

Born a Crime is so funny and good

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

I cannot wait to dive into it

manicdog.bsky.social•27 days ago

Trevor Noah’s book is so good! Enjoy!

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

I’m so excited to read it!

simonescal.bsky.social•27 days ago

Picoult is great as is Noah. Good haul.

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

I love Picoult!! Always a must buy author for me.

the-ethical-echo.bsky.social•27 days ago

You found some great books! I’m headed to the used bookstore tomorrow and am hoping for a good haul 📚

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

Ohhhh good luck! Would love to see the haul!

pennylane6325.bsky.social•26 days ago

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

beachreader60.bsky.social•27 days ago

Great haul. If you like Amy Tan try Lisa See, great books.

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

Oohhh I’ll add her to my tbr list thank you!!

frumioush.bsky.social•27 days ago

I love @amytan.bsky.social and The Bonesetter's Daughter is my absolute favorite.

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

I’m so excited to read her work! Always looking to diversify my book shelves.

madladyred.bsky.social•27 days ago

That is a good haul!

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

Thanks! I was so happy with it.

mimicup.bsky.social•26 days ago

There’s never anything good at my thriftstores. All mass market paperbacks with shirtless 6-pack men 😪

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

That’s tragic!!

auntgoose.bsky.social•27 days ago

451 is one of my Favs. Born a Crime is so good.

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

451 is scary accurate right now but it’s an awesome read too.

alexismims.bsky.social•27 days ago

Born a Crime was absolutely great. It has Trevor's humor peppered into a biography that'll touch you. It's definitely a reread for me.

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

I cannot wait to read it!

dana-m.bsky.social•27 days ago

Great finds!

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

Thanks! Love a good thrift haul.

msdarcyann.bsky.social•27 days ago

Great choices! I have read almost all of those

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

Same! Excited to read Trevor Noah’s book though!

fergality.bsky.social•27 days ago

Looking good!
Workin on my collection as well.

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

Thanks! Ohhh good luck on your collection!

Oh the irony of banning Fahrenheit 451

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

Truly. I’ve read it before and it should be mandatory right now.

sherreads.bsky.social•27 days ago

Great haul! They would be $4-7 each at my value village and my goodwill hardly stocks books at all 😞 can I be in a used book desert?

creatingcrista.bsky.social•27 days ago

The good wills around me are terrible! We happen to be lucky enough to have a thrift store dedicated to books like 20 minutes from me. Which is where I go. Otherwise I’d be out of luck too!

sherreads.bsky.social•27 days ago

That is so awesome! We have a used bookstore, but it is so full of books it’s overwhelming, especially since I swear half the books are the same ones they had 20 years ago 😅

creatingcrista.bsky.social•26 days ago

Ugh that’s tough! Ours is pretty well organized. Definitely a majority of older books and authors. But - a lot of good finds on occassion like this haul.
