My Book Rack Grand Re-opening Haul!



Just $1 per book! Be still my heart!  Thanks, owners Bub and Stacy Hardin!

Head over to Book Rack today by 6pm for the 10/$10 deal! 

That's right!  Today you can get any 10 books for just $10!  No  exclusions!  Book Rack Used Books and Gifts is located at the corner of Lake and Knoxville in Peoria.  There are also treats for all the shoppers and a cat adoption event from 3 - 6pm today. 

In case you missed it, I wrote two posts about the Book Rack remodel, in which they doubled their space.  

In this post I give you the inside scoop on used bookstores, their prices, policies, and questions you should ask at your local used bookstore.  

In this post I show you my behind-the-scenes tour of the Book Rack expansion project. 

If you miss the grand reopening sale, no worries.  

 Nearly every single book at Book Rack are regularly priced at $1 - $6.  Plus, you can trade in your old books and get cash or in-store credit, which can be used for up to 100% of your purchase! 

I do recommend that you "like" their Facebook page.  This is the main way that owner, Stacy Hardin, lets you know about upcoming sales and highlights special books which have come into the store.  

She also posts about new gift items and allows you to "get dibs" on them, placing them on the store "reserve" shelf for up to 24 hours, giving you time to stop by and pick up your items.  

My Book Haul:  


We found 20 books.  Well, actually, I had my 10 year old count our stack and he missed a book.  So, we had 21 instead of 20.  But, Bub Hardin saved my day by telling me that he was happy to sell me the 21st book for a buck too!  

 Adult Self-Improvement

I'm a Crystal Paine Fan and had never read this book!

 

Read-Alouds

 


 "Let the Circle Be Unbroken" is the sequel to "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry"!

 We LOVED this book and can't wait to dive into "Let the Circle Be Unbroken".

I recognized "The Black Arrow" and read it to my older boys when they were young.  So, this book easily made to our "buy" stack. 

2 volumes of Kipling's poems and short stories!

History and Research

Mysteries and Histories
 These are both for my 14 year old.  He is seriously into reading and researching ancient art and artifacts.  The Celtic book has beautiful full-page plates of images from the Book of Celts.  He will love it!

Boys love real life mysteries!  The Mysterious Times book is published by Scholastic. 


Church History - Great photos and illustrations! 
We are studying Ancient History this year.  So, these books will be perfect.

Local history for me!

 I am fascinated by Illinois history!  This book is a compilation of stories, which cover many decades of Central and Western Illinois history!  

Fantasy


History type fantasy - age 9-11



Star Wars Saga - #3 - #6.  He already had #1 and #2!  Yay!

Frank Peretti - fantasy for tweens

College Books

Poetry by Keats!


Shakespeare and Bradbury - BOTH for college??!!

My 22 year old told me that he had stuck a couple of books on the pile that he needed for school.  Hmmm... I know that Shakespeare is required for one of his classes next semester. I'm questioning the Ray Bradbury though.  LOL!


Have you found amazing book bargains for Christmas?

We want to see your book haul!
