Did y'all know that Goodwill sells books for less than $3 each?

On my most recent errand run, I decided to pay good ole Goodwill a visit to look at sweaters. My friend mentioned that she wanted to pick up a few books, so I followed behind her expecting to see old, ratty and torn up paperbacks. Much to my surprise I saw like new copies of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the Twilight saga, and a few books from The Hunger Games' series.

Not one to pass on the opportunity for some new reads, I looked picked up the following:

I Don't Know How She Does It
by Allison Pearson

The Starter Wife
by Gigi Levangie Grazer

One Day (Vintage Contemporaries)
by David Nicholls

The Silent Wife: A Novel
by A.S.A Harrison

The Matchbreaker
by Chris Manbry

Amazon has always been my favorite places to get books because I know I can get a really good deal. Now, I have Amazon AND Goodwill.
I'm a happy girl.

I plan on getting started on one of these bad boys this week while I wait for my cable and internet to get set up (oh, the agony!). Have any of y'all read these? What's your take on them?

So I know y'all want more than just #WordlessWednesdays from me, so I'm picking up on where I left off in this thing called blogland.

A few weeks back, I returned to my sweet college town of Athens to watch my dawgs play in the UGA vs. Louisiana-Monroe game. Unfortunately it was rain delayed twice, but we won so I can't complain all that much. UNLIKE how much I was complaining last weekend after the Alabama game. Being a dawg fan is stressful y'all.

My second momma had a surprise birthday party that I am so happy I was able to attend. I honestly have been working a ton in the past few weeks and between the commuting, the working, and the sleeping, I've had to sacrifice on a lot of extracurriculars just so I don't overdo it and get sick.

My neighbor and I have been co-parenting some stray kittens we found in his bushes so I played with them a few days each week. It's amazing how much they've grown to like people and being held. They're such sweet babies.

September 19th, my sister and I went down to the Atlanta Motor Speedway to run The Color Run: Night. We've decided that this is now a tradition for us because we had such a great time.

My coworkers convinced me to go out a few times on friend dates to watch Krispy Kreme donuts be made, drink margaritas, grab dessert, hunt for apartments, ride the ferris wheel and explore Atlanta. I thank God for these sweet friends I've made - and the ones I've had that force me to come out or check up on me to make sure I'm still sane.
