I took this picture myself. Some of these books are old, some were just poorly handled over the years, and all were thrifted across the second-hand stores of Dublin.

Thrifted Classics Book Haul
I have a reading goal for this year and that is to read and appreciate classic literature, so here are the thrifted classics I have acquired this week. Bought from the following stores: Biblio (purveyors of pre-owned books), Books for Less and Second Shelf (my new go-to online store for thrifted classics).
Thrift-shopping for books has become one of my favourite past times after classes, I love the thrill of possibly finding a great book I will either absolutely love or hate.

Continuing on the Clive Barker rediscovery, I decided I have entirely too few of his books so I've been searching ebay. I was incredibly lucky to find the fully illustrated hardback edition of the second Abarat book for only £8 - when you consider how much these can go for that's insanely good. I got the first one at a charity shop a number of years ago, also very cheap.

Could I possibly be as lucky with volume 3? We will have to wait and see.

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.” 
— William Faulkner.
I reblog bookish content and since I have a home library I also make some of it myself. On my blog, you'll find pictures of books I've taken, book reviews, book recs, favourite quotes shared etc.

I have such a soft spot for historical fiction sagas from the 1980s! The covers are stunning and the stories are wild lol 😂 I love em! I thrifted both of these!
