Transcript

I just pulled up to a Goodwill bookstore. The entire store is books to thrift. I've never heard of this before, but how cool. Let's see what we find. I'm definitely going back! See. I found the Game of Thrones books. $2.99. Good price. All the hardcover Harry Potter. How much? 10 bucks. Gets what I've been looking for. Eragon. It is so good. I read this as a kid. Just so good. All these Dr. Seuss books. Oh my gosh. All these Dr. Seuss books. Like when I have a kid one day, we will be reading all of these together. Oh, they even have comic books. That's so cool. International Iron Man. 3 bucks. The devil wears Prada for $5.99. I love Wicked. $3.99. The Bridgerton. 10 bucks. That's so cool. The employee working here told me that he just sold the whole set of porcelain glass series yesterday. But the good news is it wasn't the vintage ones. It was the current ones, which I already have. So, ha.
