Tattered Corners New & Used Bookstore

08/21/2026

Whether your young reader is just learning to read or getting back into the swing of a regular reading routine after summer break, having books they’re excited to pick up can make all the difference.

And building their own little at home library doesn’t have to break the budget!

Be sure to check out the used book bins in our children’s area, where you can find books for young readers for as little as $2! From picture books and early readers to books for kids ready to tackle their next chapter book adventure, there are plenty of treasures waiting to be discovered.

Let them dig through the bins, pick out a few favorites, and head into the new school year with a stack of books all their own. 📖✨

A Saturday afternoon just isn’t quite right without a good book. 📚☀️

But what do you like to enjoy with yours? An iced coffee, a quiet spot on the porch, a hammock in the shade, your favorite snack—or something else entirely?

📚 No summaries. No reviews. Just covers.

We all know the saying: 𝘕𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘫𝘶𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘢 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘣𝘺 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳.

But come on… 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗼. 😂

Sometimes it’s the colors. Sometimes it’s the artwork. Sometimes it’s the title. And sometimes there’s just 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 about a cover that makes you pick it up before you have the slightest idea what the book is even about.

So today, we’re giving you permission to judge away. 👀📖

Take a look at these five books — 𝗻𝗼 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗻𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀, 𝗻𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀!

Which cover grabs your attention FIRST? Which one would you pick up if you spotted all five sitting on a table?

👇 𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀!

And if your answer is “𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑓𝑖𝑣𝑒,” well… that’s what TBR piles are for. 😉📚
