I was exited to see a glorious collection of #vinyl at my local #HalfPriceBooks, but I don't have a phonograph, and wouldn't know where to get an acceptably good one for a good price.
I literally haven't touched an #LP since the mid-90s at the most recent. XD

1. Visited Half Price Books. Bought a few things. 🙂
2. Spent time with the wife's 94-year-old aunt, who is still whip smart and a delight to talk with.
3. Watched an episode of our new binge watch mystery series, "My Life Is Murder" starring Lucy Lawless. Crikey!

Picked up a book to read on my day off (chilling at an independent coffee shop near DFW so I can pick up a family member as soon as they clear whatever fresh hell U.S. Customs has turned into)...
I bought it a few months ago and got about a third of the way through it. It's kind of an off-the-cuff autobio, not bad.
I look at my "bookmark," and of course, it's the #HalfPriceBooks receipt from when I bought it 😄
I look at the date on the receipt, and I'm a little confused, because it's a couple months after when I recall buying it.
Then I notice the year: 2024
Daaaaaang, I bought this book last year?!? Where does the time even go?

I do not recommend going to Half Price Books and spending $100 on used CDs...HIGHLY ENOUGH.

Mars Needs Mechanics a game I did pick up from half price books - it sounded interesting - doubt I'll every actually play it - but it has nice retro style cover art - and will make a good addition to my growing collection of board games.

Ace Detective game
This game sounded interested when I saw it at Half price books - but I found it on eBay for about half of what HPB wanted for it - plus it came with bonus Magic The Gathering Cards, and card protectors - that were just inside the box.Weird thing is I had Dejavu when I opened the box - like I had done this before and found Magic cards - I'm sure I've done this before, but I only have one copy of the game..... So.

Half price books finds - The Fantasy Trip (missing one of the books), and Tales of Known Space: The Universe of Larry Niven - Found this the day after I found out about this series - so looking forward to reading it.
The Fantasy Trip just looked interesting to me, and seem like a good price even thou it is missing one of the books.#HalfPriceBooks #LarryNiven #KnownSpace #TheFantasyTrip #TFT #HPB #RPG

Found at a half price books -
Star Fleet A Call to Arms (RPG?) for $12.00 seemed like a good deal.
And D&D Spelljammer Adventures in Space (Box set) appears like this is new and was $35 which I don't think is quite half off but was still a good deal. So of course I grabbed both.#StarFleet #StarTrek #RPG #SpellJammer #Mongoose #StarFleetUniverse #HPB #HalfPriceBooks

When I was in middle school I used walk from my grandmother's house to the original #HalfPriceBooks location on Lovers Lane in Dallas. Many years later the retired co-founder Ken Gjemre was my neighbor. I'm probably kidding myself but I'd like to think he would be on the side of the union.

This is sad. I was a big customer of #HalfPriceBooks from the 80s and 90s until I moved away from their area of business. A wonderful place to shop for a book loving constantly broke kid.
One thing I've learned is that if you want happy customers you have to begin with a happy work force.

The booksellers at #HalfPriceBooks achieved union recognition in Jan 2022, but their employer won't give them a contract. That's a scummy way for a "family business" to treat hardworking booksellers, who are seeking a living wage - and are being offered a real-terms pay *cut* instead. Booksellers can't live on love of literature - they need to pay rent, buy groceries and support their families. Half Price, give HPB Workers Unite the contract they deserve!
