Fall Whale of a Book Sale 2011!

So, I just came from the biggest Colorado book-stravaganza of the season- the Jeffco (Jefferson County) Library Book Sale!!! Any of you that live in Jefferson County or attend the sale know what I'm talking about when I say that this is the BIGGEST book related event ever. It's not by any means the biggest as in importance, and lost's of people coming, but the biggest in size by far. To get the jist of what I'm talking about, close your eyes and picture a large warehouse, about the size of your average baseball or soccer field. Now imagine it filled with recalled and donated library books. All of which are less than 2 dollars, or 5 for a bag-full if you go on Sunday. That, my friends, is the Whale of a Sale Book Sale (that's the official title- I didn't make that up).

As any of you who know me personally know, I'm a huge supporter of the Jefferson County library system, hence the reason (beside the cheap books) I go to the sale every year. All of the profits from the sale goes toward the library system and books for the teen's and kid's summer reading programs.

Sooo, know that you know what this magnificent sale is, here's all of the books I got: (Also, I want to add, I got all of these books for-get this- 5 bucks. Amazing, is it not?)
