Remember this Buy Nothing bookshelf? When it was finished, I put it into our downstairs den, where it held books and some games/movies. And she did put some books in there too. ? Incidentally, the little stool next to the bookshelf is from my Buy Nothing group. That’s the beauty of buying used!

“How to Live Large and Have Fun”, “How to Spend Millions on Credit and Never Pay a Dime”, “Live Large and On Charge…Cards”, “Living High on the Hog: The Art of Budget Busting”…these are all titles of fictitious books, but they might as well be bestsellers.
