POV: youโre at a thrift store
Books you will find on any given thrift store shelf in the US, for better or worse ๐ For books in a series or by prolific authors, Iโve only included one book so as not to overwhelm the list.
Suggestions welcome!
I think it goes without saying but just in caseโฆ Iโm not necessarily recommending these books by having them on this list. (In fact I wouldnโt recommend many of these.) This is for fun!
