Book finds of June(2026)
Ollies, Facebook, and goodwill for the win!
June 2026 brought some excellent book discoveries, especially through unconventional channels like Ollies, Facebook marketplace groups, and Goodwill stores. These sources are treasure troves for avid readers looking to expand their collections without breaking the bank. For example, Ollies offers discounted prices on popular paperback titles such as Emily Henry's 'People We Meet on Vacation' and Rebecca Serle's novels, making it easier to access current bestsellers. On Facebook, specialized book trading and sale groups have become increasingly popular, enabling communities of readers to share and sell books they’ve loved. These groups often feature hidden gems and allow for direct interaction with sellers, which adds a personal touch often missing from large online retailers. Goodwill stores, on the other hand, provide the thrill of thrifting for books, often yielding surprises like first editions or lesser-known works from acclaimed authors. One standout discovery from June included Abby Jimenez’s novels, praised by Emily Henry for their talent and storytelling—these books are quickly climbing bestseller lists and are perfect for readers seeking heartfelt romances mixed with humor. Additionally, titles such as 'Starling House' and 'The Last Thing He Told Me' gained attention, highlighting diverse genres from mystery to contemporary fiction. For readers looking to build a summer reading list, exploring these venues offers both financial savings and the joy of uncovering unexpected literary treasures. Whether you prefer browsing in person at Goodwill or shopping online via Facebook groups and Ollies, these sources represent great opportunities to find engaging stories and support community sharing. Embracing these avenues can also help revive the excitement of book collecting, connecting readers with physical books in an age dominated by digital formats.
