🌸❗️Half Priced Books HAUL ❗️🌸

Memorial weekend sale edition! 🫢

It was super busy at my local HPB but I’m so happy I went because honestly, you can get really nice finds in the clearance section sometimes. Been wanting all these books for a while now and I’m very satisfied with my finds 💖

**The whole purchase was 20% off. This mostly excludes their new and bestsellers section that has that blue sticker on it.**

~

Also has anyone read Last Apothecary? I watch Bailey Sarian and I remember her Murder Mystery Monday a couple years ago on Aqua Tofana and the plot seems to be based off that? Not sure if it is. But all my brain keeps saying is,

... Read moreMemorial Day weekend is a perfect time for book lovers to explore sales at Half Price Books (HPB). This year, I had the opportunity to visit my local HPB during their special sale and was thrilled with the wonderful selections, particularly in the clearance section. Many avid readers might overlook clearance items, but they often provide hidden gems just waiting to be discovered. Not only did I find books I had been eagerly wanting to read, but the prices were fantastic—most of my purchases came with a discount of 20%, which is significant for avid shoppers. One of the intriguing titles that caught my eye was 'The Last Apothecary' by Sarah Penner, inspired by historical events surrounding Aqua Tofana, a notorious poison used in 17th-century Italy. Discussions around this book on social media platforms and book discussion forums have piqued my curiosity further, especially because it parallels some true crime cases shared by popular content creators like Bailey Sarian. If you're into historical fiction with a twist of mystery, this could be a captivating read. In addition to retracing the thrill of my haul, I feel compelled to encourage fellow book lovers to check out their local Half Price Books stores, especially during promotional events. You may stumble upon unique books—perfect to add to your collection or to gift to friends and family. Happy reading, and I hope to hear your thoughts on 'The Last Apothecary' if you've read it! Also, keep an eye on those clearance sections next time you visit your local bookstores.
