reading is EXPENSIVE 📚

whoever said reading is an expensive hobby was. not. lying. books are my weakness, but my wallet deserves a little win too!

this past weekend, i grabbed 5 new reads for just $12! three i bought and two found in little free libraries and in total, i saved $96.99 (aka almost a whole book haul’s worth 👏🏾).

proof that being a reader and a budget girlie can coexist 🤭💅🏾

have you ever found a gem in a little free library? or for really cheap at a bookstore?

... Read moreReading doesn’t have to break the bank if you know where to look. Little free libraries are wonderful community gems that offer free books in exchange for another or simply to spread the joy of reading. If you’re new to these tiny book-sharing boxes, they’re often found in neighborhoods, parks, or outside people’s homes. The best part? You can find bestsellers and unique titles without spending a dime, like the Colson Whitehead books and "Human Acts" I snagged. Another way to save is hunting down sales at local bookstores. Many indie stores have clearance shelves or offer discounts on overstocked titles. For example, I paid $3.50 for "Human Acts," originally $17, and $2.50 for "My Dark Vanessa," which was $14 retail. These savings add up quickly, especially during seasonal sales or special events. Don’t forget digital options, too. Libraries’ eBook lending programs are free and accessible via apps like Libby or Hoopla. This way, you can enjoy the latest novels without any cost. Being a 'budget girlie' and an avid reader means embracing creativity and community resources. Swapping books with friends or joining book clubs can add social joy and access to good reads. Websites and apps like Goodreads or Lemon8’s #lemon8bookclub hashtag help connect readers with similar tastes and bargain finds. In summary, whether you’re browsing little free libraries or hunting bookstore deals, reading on a budget is totally doable. Not only does it keep your wallet happy, but it also introduces you to unexpected literary treasures and community connections. So, next time you say reading is an expensive hobby, remember it can be a smart and joyful investment too!
