Some trips to Goodwill I come away with nothing, other times, like today I find many choices (too many really, I left a couple because I wasn't sure I'd like them). I'm going to need another bookcase soon, I'm running out of space and creative ways to set them.

goodbyefrancie The Goodwill I usually go to has raised prices, so no more big books hauls there for me. I'll be checking out different locations. 📚 5y

Even though I'm on hiatus from reading fiction until 2019, that doesn't mean I can't hit up Goodwill to add to my massive TBR shelves.

Ostaff1 I have a weakness for some Jack McDevitt too! 5y
RamsFan1963 I'll have to go back and reread my copy of Ancient Shores before tackling Thunderbird. I read it about 20 years and many other books ago. 5y

Today's book haul from Goodwill, only $10!! Some books for me, some books for my son, and some books for my classroom. I didn't see the shelf of picture books, or I would have gotten several books for my granddaughter, too! 😁

ephemeralwaltz Wow! Very cool 6y
Weaponxgirl That's an amazing haul! 6y

This Goodwill has made some bold design choices. I approve, except that I can't tell what the books are.

AmyG Wow. 6y
readordierachel @AmyG Interesting, right? 6y
AmyG Seems too interesting for a Goodwill. ;) 6y

Kaye Weird. I guess it‘s a nice wall decoration but bad display if they‘d wanna sell them. You‘d need a ladder to see what the books are. Or a long stick to knock them down. 6y
readordierachel @Kaye You could also have a bucket of rocks for people to throw at them. My assumption is that they're old reference books or something that they don't think people want, but what if there are some gems up there. How will we know??? 6y
Kaye I don‘t know. I hope they have them fastened up pretty sturdy. If them things fall, that‘d hurt. Literally getting the book thrown at you ! 6y
batsy Ha! I'm hoping they're sturdy 🤔😂 And I hope you had a lovely Mother's Day 💕 6y
Kaye Thank you @batsy. . Unfortunately, Mother‘s Day is a rough holiday for me for many reasons , so I am usually pretty down that day. But, life goes on. Gotta pick myself up and try it again today. 6y
batsy Sorry to hear that @kaye and I hope today is a better day for you. 6y

The book section at the Goodwill Superstore in Portland Oregon is pretty incredible. I limited myself since we are going to a book sale tomorrow and it all has to come home on a plane.

cathysaid I'm visiting Portland in September! This makes me happy 👏😁 6y
Chrissyreadit @cathysaid this is the one on Stephen street. There are several but this is the biggest one I think. 6y
SilversReviews Wow. I never saw a Goodwill with bookshelves and a stock like that. 6y

cathysaid @Chrissyreadit Cool! Thanks! 6y
Onceuponatime If you are visiting Portland, I hope you made it to Powell‘s! 📚❤️ 6y
Chrissyreadit @SilversReviews it has a cafe too- I‘ve never been in a goodwill like this. 6y
Chrissyreadit @Onceuponatime we went to Powell‘s on Monday- it was amazing, but I was a little overwhelmed. I totally needed to prep for it. Also had a four old with me so it was challenging. 6y
Suet624 That‘s amazing! 6y
SilversReviews @Chrissyreadit Wow..nicest Goodwill I have ever seen. ENJOY and thanks for sharing. 6y

My book haul from goodwill today :) The book section was packed with people but I was able to get in there and find some good books.

Carolyn11215 I adored Julie and Julia! 6y
Carolhreads @Carolyn11215 I'm glad to hear that you liked it. I have been seeing this book and hearing about the movie since it came out and wondered how it was, I can't wait to read it :) 6y

The #goodwill near where we‘re staying has a pretty decent, and well-organized, book selection. I spent a good half hour literally going through each book. 🤓#vacation

Amanda.T Oooooh! I wish the book section at my Good Will was this nice! 🤓 7y
Aims42 Wow 😮 My Goodwill's book selection is 80% cookbooks circa 1987 and 10% the 'Left Behind' series 7y
britt_brooke @Aims42 😆😆😆 7y
britt_brooke @Joyfulmimi @saresmoore @CoverToCoverGirl @IamIamIam @SilversReviews @Librariana @Amanda.T It‘s a very nice Goodwill. Probably the cleanest and best organized I‘ve ever been in. Mine at home is great, but this one blows it away. 7y
britt_brooke @tricksytails Same here! 💚 7y
SilversReviews @britt_brooke Fantastic!! It does look nice. 7y
Bklover @Aims42 Sounds like our goodwill. Don‘t forget the many copies of the Twilight series. 😂 7y
Aims42 @Bklover hahaha yes!!! 🤣 7y
britt_brooke @Bklover @Aims42 At mine it‘s Twilight and Bridges of Madison County. 😆 7y
Aims42 @britt_brooke LOL can't forget that one 😂 7y
EllieDottie That is awesome!!! 7y
StephBengtson Nice! The Goodwill near me is such a mess, that I offered to organize it for them. 🙅🏼 7y
Suet624 Jeepers. It looks like a library! 7y
britt_brooke @StephBengtson 😆 Yeah, I‘ve been in a couple like that. It stresses me out, too! 7y
britt_brooke @Suet624 They have 4 or 5 of these cases. 💚 Pretty impressive selection presumably vacationers donating beach reads on the way out. 7y

Today, I went to my local Goodwill "Outlet" (everything is always .99) for the first time to see if they had any books. There were some shelved, but also about 15 of these giant box crammed full of books. It made me almost physically ill. I managed to find a few books among the mess that weren't basically destroyed, but it was painful.

Soubhiville 😲 wow! That's really sad. 7y
drokka This is the second Goodwill location I've seen post about in as many weeks where they just dump books in large bins. In my city, Goodwill has two locations strictly for books. I can't see why they couldn't do that in these places (edited) 7y
KVanRead Wow that's pretty shocking. Our Goodwill has a lovely book section with everything nicely shelved. 7y

BethM Omg that's so sad. Ours doesn't have a big selection but they are shelved. 7y
BkClubCare I think I have that Garden Book! 7y
britt_brooke @drokka @KVanRead @BethM @Soubhiville Our regular Goodwill has them shelved and very organized. This one that's dubbed an "outlet" is just a mess. All of the clothes are in boxes too. (edited) 7y
mjdowens How sad that is😣 7y
Clwojick I feel like I would've had some "words" for the staff. Maybe not nice words. Lol 7y
Amandajoy Why would they do this? ☹️ 7y
Coleen I like our Goodwills. But the nearest outlet is an hour away and I've never been. I've heard horror stories though, of the big boxes full of stuff. 7y
MorbidAi Ugh my heart 😱 7y
AmyG Our Goodwill has those huge boxes in the donation area. It's unreal. HUGE boxes. 7y
CocoReads Oh the precious books! I'd want to start straightening them immediately. 7y
OrangeMooseReads Having worked in the back room and a short time at a Goodwill "plant" you would be horribly sickened by some of the things I've seen and been forced to do with not only books but other things as well. 7y
britt_brooke @CocoReads I had to restrain myself. I almost started placing them in the empty shelf space. 7y
ValerieAndBooks That book titled “Out of Control” right there on the top of one of the piles describes this sadness 😢. Some Goodwill stores are worse than others regarding books. 7y
britt_brooke @ValerieAndBooks My regular Goodwill store is very tidy and all books are organized on shelves. This outlet store shocked me. I wanted to rescue all the books! 7y
Bookzombie We have one of these too. I had the same reaction when I went. ☹️ 7y
britt_brooke @Bookzombie I just don't understand the purpose. How are we to ever see the books underneath? Half of the stuff in them needed to be tossed out because of damage. Who would do this to books?!?! 😬😬😬 7y
Lmstraubie 😕 7y
LeahBergen Gah!!!! 7y
Kalalalatja There should be some kind of law against such a thing! 😱😱😱 7y
SconsinBookyBadger Wow the horror! 😱I've never shopped at any of the outlets and from this pic never will. I'll stick with shopping at the regular goodwill stores. 7y
Anna40 Oh no! 7y
minkyb That is a very sad sight. 7y

🚨🚨 BOGO books tomorrow at Goodwill! 🚨🚨

DivineDiana Do you know if it is only in Tennessee? 7y
shanebeth @DivineDiana I don't, I poked around on some other Goodwill social media & didn't see any other mentions of it. maybe call your nearest one and check. 7y
DivineDiana Thanks for poking! 😀📚 7y
saguarosally The ones in my area have 50% off everything once every two weeks. I often go and buy books there. 7y
