I really want to read where the crawdads sing, to see what all the hype is about, but it’s so expensive here is the UK!

try ur library
Oh I know, me too ☹️
I saw it in my library. Check yours and they may have it ?
Order from your library as I did.
Second hand on Amazon and Ebay or Kindle is cheaper? Also library free?…x
Check and see if http://www.thriftbooks.com/ has it. They ship to the UK ?
Borrow from a library.
Not hype. Hype means exaggerations. The love people have for this story is not exaggerated. It is real. I was on the waiting list for weeks at my library. Got it and then promptly got my own copy. There are some that don’t love it. They don’t love the details which are plenty. I couldn’t get enough of it. Now i can’t wait to visit the are.
@Teresa you are so right… I bought this and usually pass my books on … not this one I loved it ?
Go to the local library and they can order it
I got someone to give it to me for my birthday! Definitely worth it. It’s a lovely book I know I’ll read again
Lobrary
Library even!! ??
Patience my child. It will come to you.
I’m on a waiting list with the library. 6months ?
same on kindle
I am reading it. When I open the book, I stay with it because the writing is excellent, but nothing draws me to open the book….
@Joanna It’s the kind of book that will reward your patience in the second half.
I’ve ordered from the library and live in The UK
I hope you like it. I was pretty underwhelmed.
I’ve seen it mentioned so many times on here that I fear I’d be let down when I read it. Like when I read The Tattooist Of Auschwitz.
It’s on Kindle for £9.99. I might read it when the price comes down a bit.
I was the same way with The Tattooist as well.
Crawdads isn’t really a bad book. But it is hyped up like crazy. The story is good for passing the time, but it’s nothing life changing. That’s just my opinion though.
It’s always good to see differing opinions, thanks!
You’re welcome!
It’s worth every penny !!!! I think I only paid about £12? From Waterstones, hard back….
I got it from the library and only waited for about 2 weeks.
Book depository?
Amazing book ?
Library
Our library has a “Libby” ap. I downloaded the ap, signed in using my library card information, and requested to read this. I waited 4-6 weeks before it was available. The library sends an email when your “holds” are available.
I splashed out and bought in UK worth every penny.
Do you have libraries? Ignore the hype or you will be disappointed. It’s just a simple book. Simple plot. Good read.
I enjoyed it the most because it was about a land I did not know. I’ve been to the ocean but never to the areas that the author wrote of. It was a lifestyle I was not familiar with and I found it fascinating. I bought a copy for my friend because I know that she loves wildlife the way that I do. It was educational and fun.
Got it for $1 ebook
It’s so worth buyi g, you won’t regret it, I bought the hardback over a month ago as I couldn’t wait any longer!
I just finished mine, @Maz. If you would like, I would be happy to mail it to you!
I bought it for a tenner off eBay in the UK. It’s worth every penny! X
Would the library have that book where you live?
Me too , whats special about this book?
Library?
I went to my library to see if they had it and there is a 400 person hold on 65 copies! ? regardless, I put myself on the waitlist but I love how many people are reading this book.
with 65 copies it won’t take long
I am waiting for the price to go down too to get it for my Kindle. My library haven’t got it sadly. I tried to order it ?
I bought it on Kindle in the UK for 99p…
@Hayley Me too.
Ah wished I’d seen the offer! It’s currently £9.99 For kindle uk
@Hayley how?
It’s £9.95 on amazon
@Hayley was this through Amazon? I’ve never seen it that price?
I might get it for my kindle and just keep my eyes peeled for a bargain book. Really want to read it 😉
I paid $30 Au and put in my tbr pile. Books are expensive but totally worth it ???
I’m in the uk. Hubby got it for me for Mother’s Day. Gonna lend it to the mother in law and then am happy to post to someone for the cost of postage. It’s a great book ?
I’ve just reserved it at the library. It’s only 80p where I am to reserve!
Get it on amazon!!!
Do you have thrift stores there in the UK? If so, I’m sure, you’ll be able to get it for cheep there
My library doesn’t have it! I’ve checked 2 different town too!
I got it from the library. No charge. Worth waiting for.
Reading it now. So good!!
There’s one on Ebay at the moment and the bid is only 99p – you may get lucky!
book was just ok
I was on a wait list at the Library, they said it would be 6 months but today for some reason it was available so I got it! Will be starting it tonight.
Check out the app thrift books that’s where I buy all my books now
There is no need to rush. In a year or so you may see it in paperback and it will be just as good. Anticipation is greater than realization.
My library has a wait of 68! I will not pay the price even the kindle price is high also!
I paid it. I thought it was worth every penny!
Library
Borrow from a friend
i did not like it , save $$ buy a bottle of wine 😉
Keep checking with the library. I lucked out and was the first to check out Verity when mine finally got it.
Sent u a pm
So good
What about an ebook? Is that cheaper?
I got the audible version – shorter wait at the library. It was phenomenal- well written and well performed.
Wait a few weeks, it will be in the charity shops.
E book.
Didn’t enjoy it.
@Lisa
I agree. Waiting for the paperback to come out then maybe the kindle version will go down. Sent you a pm.
I bought it paperback off Amazon for 10 bucks.
Try your local library, that’s where I got it ?
If they don’t have it, you can always see if they’d buy it for you
I was reluctant to pay £10 but a 2hr movie with popcorn costs that. I enjoyed it
I will wait until it comes down in price in the Uk. Lots more books to read in the meantime.
Got mine thru the library
I’ll send you my copy if you pm your address
Yep this is me too ! ?
Don’t bother…. it’s only worth 2 stars out of 5
Loved the book def 5 stars
I listened to the audio book and loved it so much I bought the hard copy
