Do you love to read BOOKS?

I know, I know it's the age of the Nook.  I own one, I have downloaded books on it, I've even read books off it....BUT there is nothing better than reading a BOOK.  Call me old-fashioned, call me out of touch but I still love the feel of a book.  Besides you can't take my Nook into a bathtub with you. :)

Buying NEW books does get expensive.  I can read a book in 24 hours but if I check it out of the Library it will take me months to read.

I am a HUGE James Patterson fan....love his series and I want to read the newest one the minute it hits the shelves.  I am not going to be able to do this at a consignment store, I know this.

What I have learned at shopping at Freedom Consignment & Antiques....I have expanded my Authors.  I have discovered other Authors that I would not have discovered paying $25.00 for the book.  WOW a whole world I was missing.

I went into Freedom Consignment & Antiques and "browsed" the books that are there.  As tunnel vision as I am about books I recognized very few Authors but found a series by an Author that I thought "what have I got to loose?"  Each book was $1.00-$2.00 so I walked up to check out with a total of $8.00.  WOW was I shocked.....the books were 50% off! 

I took these four books with me on vacation.  They were finished withing five days!  Loved these books.  I called Freedom Consignment & Antiques and asked if there were any more by this Author.  They pulled the books by this Author and I went in to "check em out."  I bought them and a few other Authors...what have I got to loose right?  Another new Author!!  I called again and had them pull more books from this newest Author...picked them up today....two books cost me $2.00!!

If you love to read I want to encourage you to go to Freedom Consignment & Antiques and try new Authors!!  What a new experience this was for me.  Yes, I will still go to Barnes & Noble for the newest James Patterson THE MINUTE THEY HIT THE SHELVES but for everything else it's Freedom Consignment & Antiques.
