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

This is so funny 😭 I love thrifting but you're not wrong...
Ideas: — Fourth Wing — something by Mary Higgins Clark — The Prayer of Jabez — a cookbook for fat loss
YES to anything by Mary Higgins Clark, there's no escaping her
I actually am even perpetually looking for certain ones of hers (my mom collects her) but it's always like... I'll Be Seeing You
Can’t believe I forgot Mary Higgins Clark! Added these!
Happy to amuse! I love thrifting too! I’ve been lucky to find a lot of great books while thrifting and I’ve definitely noticed some patterns haha
This is so niche and so hilarious 😂 I am obsessed! Another one that used to be in every thrift store was “Chicken Soup for the Soul” and also “Rich Dad Poor Dad”
I’m so glad you find it as funny as I do 😂 good additions!! I put them on the list!
I love this 😂😂
I would humbly like to suggest The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson and The Shack by William P. Young bc I see these two CONSTANTLY lol
Thank you 🤣 YES I will add those!
Hello, yes! Does it matter if the thrift store is ‘Christian’?? lol, will they still have 50 shades? (The answer is yes)
I think 50 Shades would materialize out of thin air if it had to in order to be ubiquitous 😂
