Buy Books @ the Library?

 
Similar to the book swap at my local library post I did last year, this time I have 8 books I bought during 3 recent trips to the library. These were affordable (10-50 cents each), not to mention in good condition.
 
I think I paid around $0.50 (a steal!) for the 6th Harry Potter book which was practically in new condition- minus something minor that needed to be taped. I don't have all the books in the HP series, but I am taking my time collecting them for when I reread the series in the future :)
I also found the 1st book in the Goosebumps Horrorland series (I read the 10th one already). These are quick reads and have cool covers, don't you think?!
 
I am trying to complete my collection of the Narnia series, so I grabbed the 1st book which has movie images inside. Now I hope I can find movie tie in books for Prince Caspian and the Dawn Treader (if they exist) to complete my set!    

I had a dream long time ago of me in Barnes and Noble buying all of Roald Dahl's books. Well, that isn't necessary because I found 4 of his books in addition to a book of his favorite ghost stories. Will be keeping my eyes open for more of RD books!
 
 
While on the subject of the library, I reorganized my book shelf (updated tour coming soon iA :) and went through all the books I haven't read yet and don't plan to read. I am in the middle of donating these to the library, especially the 6 top ones from my book swap mentioned above. I still have a few more to give away, and maybe swap for them if I get the chance again! I think everyone should go through their book shelves and make a pile of books that haven't been read at all and won't be read (be realistic) to donate to their local library!
