I love diaries and this is a great one. It's especially interesting that she devotes more time to her love life and the terrible men involved than to the war. The war is a huge part of her life, but it doesn't stop her from being a regular young woman, with all the feelings any woman her age would have.

I took the plunge and this is my very first order from Thriftbooks. I was always worried about the vagueness of their descriptions regarding condition but this one arrived in grand shape! (and the sticker peeled off easily 👍🏼).
This is a diary that the author kept as a teenager in WWII. Much of it seems to be about trying to keep her knickers on while holed-up with all the randy teenage boys in bomb shelters overnight. 😬

Melissa_J This is encouraging to hear. I've looked at the website several times but haven't yet purchased anything. 8y

LauraBeth You said holed up 😂😂 8y

LeahBergen @Melissa_J This one was described as "very good". I wouldn't take a chance on one that was "good" or "acceptable". I think it was @ReadingEnvy that said she had some show up with horrible water damage. ? 8y

LeahBergen @LauraBeth Oopsie!! 😂😂 I guess she really DIDN'T keep those knickers in place!! 😂😂 8y

LeahBergen @LauraBeth And I'm just going to leave that British-Canadian idiom/double-entendre right there for a laugh! 8y

Hobbinol 😂Holed-up🤣 8y

Soubhiville @LeahBergen and @LauraBeth 🤣🤣🤣! 8y

saresmoore Hahahahaha! This post makes me very happy! 8y

LeahBergen @LauraBeth @Hobbinol @Soubhiville @saresmoore And this is what I get for using "hole", "knickers" and "randy" ... all in the same post. ?? 8y

brilliantglow I love thrift books I buy most of my books from them now. But only in very good or like new condition and excluding anything ex-library. 8y

LeahBergen @brilliantglow Yes, that seems safe! I'll be ordering through them again (although we don't get the same good shipping deal in Canada). 8y

brilliantglow No we don't unfortunately but it's still cheaper than ordering books from Indigo usually. And you have a better chance of finding a hardcover copy in like new condition for cheaper than it would be to buy the paperback. Which is the best if you're like me and try to avoid buying mass market or trade paperbacks if I can. 8y

LeahBergen @brilliantglow Oh, always! And it seems cheaper than abebooks for a lot of titles, too. Abebooks was always my first choice but now I'll be checking this site as well. 👍🏼 8y

brilliantglow I have also found that the prices are better than Abe. Even after considering the exchange. ☺ though tbh I never bought books from Abe anyway or book outlet for that matter haha 8y

LeahBergen @brilliantglow Book Outlet is really good for us as they have a Canadian site that ships from Canada. You should definitely check them out, too! 8y

LauraBeth 😂😂😂 8y

TheLudicReader And BookOutlet just announced free shipping, altho they've raised their prices. They have some good titles on Thrift Books, but the $3.99 per book shipping (if you are outside of the US) is killer. 8y

LeahBergen @TheLudicReader I know! I wish that ThriftBooks had that same "free shipping over $10" deal for Canada, too. 8y
