82. Visit the Green Valley Bookfair
During my final weekend of my sixth list, I realized I had time to go to one of the museums or down to the bookfair. I finally decided on a bookfair road trip. I absolutely loved it, even though the wind advisory made me absolutely terrified I was going to die as I drove down on Route 88, white knuckling it the whole way.
I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but the warehouse with amazing book prices was about 3 times the size I'd imagined. I made a list of items ahead of time and found everything but one LEGO book and a cross-stitch kit. I found some presents for friends and family. I found some books for my church library. In all, I managed to spend $104 on:
1 book I've already read and wanted a physical copy of
5 books that went on my Mt. To Be Read
1 pack of colored pencils
1 word puzzle book
1 coloring book
2 Disney board games (Gargoyles & Jungle Cruise)
3 books I'm donating to my church library
1 book I'm giving away next Halloween
1 pack of stickers
1 seagull plushie
6 presents for friends/family
On my way home, I stopped by a Dollar Tree and bought a book on simplifying (which is my theme for the year) and got a free LEGO book I'll be BookCrossing later this year. I also stopped by Cracker Barrel (my first time inside one in... I dunno 10 years? More?) and bought some stick candy, an Easter donkey squishmallow, and a giant highland coo tote bag. The wind had died down by then, and the drive back took hours but was much more pleasant. I also finished one audiobook and started another during the journey. It was such a great day!
I fell behind in logging my accomplishments on this blog. I'm catching up in February 2024 and backdating entries to keep my records consistent.
