The bags of fun have really been stinking it up. I know I have been complaining about this in my last few posts, but the bags have just been bad. Where have all the good action figures gone? Is no one's mother cleaning out their attics, garages, or kid's bedrooms?
Well, while the bags are terrible, the book section is on fire! Last week, I picked up the vintage movie tie in E.T. novel. On Monday, I picked up the 2 Golden Books pictured.
I love the Disney book but, I am most excited about the Rocky and Bullwinkel book. How often to do you see Rocky and Bullwinkel anything? It is kind of like Gumby. There isn't enough Gumby in the world. (Gumby is like a secret obsession I will have to write about at a later date.)
I used to love that cartoon as a kid. It was on in the mornings while I would be getting ready for school. I don't know why I liked it so much. Looking back it was really kind of stupid, but I guess as kids we didn't know any better,
My son has really gotten into the Goosebumps book series. So any time I find those books at the Goodwill,
I pick them up. I found 3 that he didn't have. Calling all Creeps, Monster Blood, and the one in the middle is kind of like the which way books. Whenever I see them, I try to pick them up because he reads them so quickly.
Lastly, my daughter picked out 2 books for herself. I really love the I -Spy and the "Can You See What I See?" by Walter Wick. A few years ago, our local library hosted an event and Walter Wick was one of the speakers. He gave a talk about how he got started with the I-Spy books, his collection of toys and objects, and how he goes about staging the different photographs. It was a really interesting lectures and it really made me appreciate his books even more.
For a grand total of $3, I am really happy with the books we picked up.

Nice score! There's always good books to be found if you have the time to look through them all.
