Hi. Doing a Barnes and Noble run on Friday.. Any suggestions? I love love fiction.
The Martian, Station Eleven, and Good Morning Midnight
Lucky you! (My closest bookstore is almost 2 hours away.) Any particular type? What are some of your favorite books/authors?
I loved Big Little Lies
Hmm… I haven’t read it — maybe I should. ?
Recently, I’ve enjoyed The Hating Game, Penny Reid’s Winston Bros books, Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache books, and Ilona Andrews’ newest series.
I have the same problem distance wise.
Have you ever shopped online at ThriftBooks? Their used book selection is huge, each book is placed in a condition category, their prices (but never buy a new book) are incredible, and if you purchase over $10, the shipping is free.
Warning: The site can be addictive. ?
Rae Ann Weaver I just heard of it recently, and have been thinking about checking it out. I was spoiled in Missoula — there were three good bookstores, plus several used bookstores and the University. Now that I’m back in rural southern Oregon, I have to drive quite a ways. My kindle gets a lot of use. ?
Catherine Jones Krause I do not own an electronic reader due to budgetary constrains.
I do only order books from ThriftBooks in the “Like New” and “Very Good” category but that’s my personal preference. I’ve purchased some $30-$45 hardback cookbooks from the for about $4.19.
I have quite a huge TBR pile from them. I’ve only ordered HB and PB, not MMPB but that’s due to the print size.
Overall, I’ve been quite happy dealing with them.
But I do miss physical bookstores – there is just something about them. And small independent book stores are unfortunately becoming an endangered species.
@Rae I’ve had good luck ordering used books too — only a couple have been too dirty and worn. I really miss my favorite used bookstore, though.
@Monique me too!!
What do you like to read?

I saw they had some really good deals the other day! Have fun
