It’s Top Ten Tuesday time once again friends. This week the prompt is a ‘thankful’ freebie and I just wanted to give a shout out to thrift and secondhand books stores! Books are so expensive to buy brand new so I’ve restricted myself to only paying full price for either books I rated 4 stars and over or pre orders of series I’m loving. So over the last year I have visited a lot of op shops/thrift stores on the hunt for second hand books to add to my collection and I usually manage to come away with one or two titles. Just this last weekend I visited 3-4 stores and I came away with this lovely haul of books that I managed to snag.

I love used bookstores! There’s one near me run by an elderly couple and they always have one of their two cats with them. The Guest List and An Anonymous Girl are both really good books, I hope you enjoy them.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!

Thank you ☺️ a new second hand bookshop just opened in my town and it’s great finding good deals on books I’ve had my eye on!

I tend to buy my books second hand as well. Like you said, new books are just so expensive. And as I rarely reread books, I can’t justify the price. One of my favorite places to buy books isn’t a secondhand shop though, it’s more like a surplus store! It’s fun finding newer releases for a fraction of the price.

I’m glad you’ve been able to score so many great deals on books at secondhand stores. I prefer to buy new books, but they’re so dang expensive! At least I’m supporting authors financially, right? That’s how I justify the expense to myself. LOL.
Happy TTT!

I definitely prefer pretty new hardbacks but I just can’t say no to a $1 or $2 book 😆

YES! I get all my books secondhand. I don’t know what I’d do without libraries or used bookstores. I couldn’t afford to be a bookworm!

Used bookstores are a great thing to be thankful for, I’ve definitely relied on second hand bookshops and libraries a lot in the past!
