Used Bookstore Finds!!

I haven’t read either of these, but I have seen them on social media!

I watched TATBILB before I realized it was a book series, and I loved the movies! So I’m sure I’d love the books too.

Have you read either of these?!

Used bookstores are treasure troves for avid readers. While you may discover well-known titles, there are countless hidden gems waiting to be unearthed. With the rise of platforms like BookTok, more people are discovering and recommending incredible reads, spanning genres from romance to fantasy. Books like those by Jenny Han, whose works have captured readers' hearts, can often be found at unbeatable prices. Picking up used books not only saves money but contributes to sustainability by giving pre-loved stories a new home. As you browse through the aisles, don't hesitate to ask fellow shoppers or staff for recommendations—they might point you towards the next book that becomes your new favorite. Remember, reading expands your horizons, and with each used book you find, you're not just saving money but also enriching your reading experience with stories that have already touched many lives. So, what are you waiting for? Head to your local used bookstore and see what literary treasures you can uncover!

I loved the books. I liked the first movie. I started the second movie but didn't finish it. I honestly don't think the movie/tv adaptations do Jenny Han's books justice.
