Green Valley Book Fair swag picspam

So a couple weeks ago, my friend George and I went to this amazing book fair we have in Virginia, called the Green Valley Book Fair. It's about an hour away from where I live, and it's basically this old warehouse filled with new overstocked books.



I got to buy some fantastic books that I'd been holding off on buying simply due to price, and I'm really glad I got to go.



Books I bought:

I also picked up this fantastic shirt...


(it says 'got books?', I just got the picture at an odd angle, with the shirt slightly crumpled :P)

...and left nerdfighter notes...



...and really wanted to get one of THESE...



...but somehow resisted (WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY. JUST LOOK AT THESE THINGS.)




All in all, a fantastic adventure! I loved finding those books, getting to spend time with George, who I haven't seen all school year, since she goes to a different college and all, and driving through downpours. Whee!

That's all from me for today :) Tell me happy fun book shopping stories!

    Books, books, books. <3 And I have no idea how you could have resisted the stuffed armadillo. SO cute. :)

    I love the Green Valley Book Fair. I try to go at least once a year. You can gets bags and bags of books for the price of a few hardcovers sold at regular price! I tell everyone I know about GVBF so that they can get all the bargains. I also love how they have stuffed animals and things other than books. I've seen t-shirts, hats, calendars, gardening decorations, paint kits, etc. Great for Christmas and birthday shopping. :-)
