Dollar Book Fair (Buena Park, CA)



        My badminton team and I were walking to John's Incredible Pizza when I spied with my little eye a book store! I broke away from my teammates and  literally ran to this book store. I'm not kidding.
        I heard footsteps following hurriedly after me (my best friend, cause she loves books too lol). We scoped the place out in a few quick minutes and decided that we would come back before we left; and that we did.
        First of all, let me start by saying (or typing) that this book store was neatly organized by author and genre, which I love! Because most of the used book stores I've been too are messy and it's so hard to navigate if you are looking for a specific book.
        Second, the PRICES. Holy cow! $1-$3 only! I was greatly pleased. They also had a deal going on top of these wonderful prices. If you bought 3 books from the dollar section, you got the 4th free.
        The owner was super sweet and nice! She has just taken over ownership of the bookstore.


        WHAT I NEED YOU TO DO:

   Please help support a local community and buy books here if you don't live too far. I myself live about 45 mins away so I do not know when I will get the chance to go back. The owner told me they could really use some business and publicity because they aren't doing well financially. If you haven't noticed, book stores are becoming more scarce. As fellow readers and book lovers we cannot let that happen!
    If you don't live near Buena Park, CA, you can still help! Click the link I've provided below and go like their Facebook page! It would mean so much to the owner and I.

Here's a list of what I bought there:

(2 Copies of) The Way the Crow Flies by Ann-Marie MacDonald (Harper Perennial Edition) & (Harper Collins Edition) $2
Yes, I really love this book and was only looking to buy the copy that I already had at home because it was tattered and falling apart; but they had another edition and I couldn't decide. Lol, so my friend just told me to get both.

Shanghai Girls by Lisa See $2
I actually already had the softcover of this book, but I bought the second one in hardback at a thrift store, so then I had a mix matched duo logy. Therefore, I bought the hardcover here so they could match :).

Girl, 15, Charming But Insane by Sue Limb $1
Didn't know anything about this one, but the description sounded interesting and the cover was beautiful.
