My first stop was an old favorite of mine called the BOOK BOX located in the Tigard Plaza on the corner of Hall & Pacific (99W) Hwy. {11945 SW Pacific Hwy. #238, Portland, OR 97223 (503) 624-9472}. If you're looking for used books or have books to trade in (for in store credit)...this is the place! I wish I had something like this down here. Because I was on my way to meet Julie for dinner I didn't have as much time as I'd have liked to search her shelves but I did find these:
Part of my girl time with Julie involved a trip to POWELL'S BOOKS -- another store I wish like crazy I had down here. I love this store because they stock the new and used books on the shelves together so you have a choice of which to purchase. You can also trade books in here as well tho' they are usually really picky about the fiction they take in and they give you a gift card for your earned credit. I had so many books in my basket that I had to sit down and choose which I was buying...so sad I didn't have the money to buy everything in my basket. So these are what I came home with:
(That one kinda angled at the top is actually one I bought for Cam...spending some of my limited book funds on him. He better not say I never do anything for him! LOL)
Then, when I got home, these were sitting in my mailbox from this post:
Of these beauties, I'd read one (which I own) and bought one (see the Powell's picture).
You'd think I'd be in books for months but I've already polished off 6 from the above pictures and I'm sure I'll finish a 7th (maybe even an 8th) before the weekend is done.
