The Buck Stops Here Challenge

And while I'm at it, I can do this one too! I LOVE getting my books at the ongoing library sales at my local library. Paperbacks are 50 cents, hardcovers $1.00. I have amassed quite a collection of TBR books from these impossible-to-resist bargains so why not also do this challenge, since many of the books from the other challenges will overlap nicely. Here's the link for this challenge:
