📚 Recent Book Buys 📚
Just wanted to show a realistic look at how I buy books. These are my recent buys for the last month probably (and 3 are gifts from my partner ☺️). These particular books are all new copies, but I want to stress how often my books are second hand! These are all books I got from my local small town Walmart, but I usually always book haul from ThriftBooks or my semi-local thrift store! There’s no need to feel pressure to buy 10 new books a month. I usually just expect to spend like $30-50 a month on new books and whatever that gets me is what it gets me. If I have extra money after bills and such, I’ll thrift some more! That’s how I’ve grown my book shelf so much in the last year :)

In this article, I share my recent book purchases from local stores, including three gifted books. Emphasizing the joy of second-hand finds, I outline my strategy for maintaining a monthly budget of $30-$50 for new books, while also highlighting the value of thrift shopping. My primary sources for book hauls include Walmart and ThriftBooks, where I often discover hidden treasures. Incorporating popular titles like 'The Tananarive Due Saga' and 'Survive the Night' by Riley Sager, I showcase a mix of contemporary and classic stories that have captivated me. Thrift shopping not only saves money but also contributes to a more sustainable approach to reading. Building a personal library should be a fulfilling experience, not a source of financial stress. By sharing my journey and inviting others to do the same, I aim to foster a community that celebrates reading in all its forms. Whether you’re a seasoned bookworm or just starting your collection, you’ll find value in a thoughtful approach to book buying. Join me on this journey of discovery and feel inspired to create your dream bookshelf sustainably!
I love thriftbooks That's where I've gotten a lot mine.
