Today is National Read a Book Day (September 6th), and whether you're a page-turner purist or an audiobook multitasker, it's the perfect excuse to hit pause on the chaos of life and lose yourself in a good story.

National Read a Book Day has mysterious origins—no one knows exactly who started it—but what we do know is that it began circulating in the early 2000s as part of the movement to combat screen fatigue. (Remember when our biggest distraction was just the TV?)

Thrifting has humble beginnings tied to necessity rather than trend. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, thrift shops in the United States were largely connected to charitable organizations like Goodwill and The Salvation Army. These stores provided affordable clothing for working-class families while funding social programs.
