Thriftbooks is great for chunksters like these that you can‘t borrow from the library because it will take you too long to read them! #chunkster

quirkyreader I go my copy of Suitable Boy from the VOA on Cedar St. 6y

I will FINALLY be the proud owner of all the HP books again! Also got the 2nd books in the Grishaverse and the Chaos Walking trilogies.

First time ordering from #thriftbooks and I will be using them from now on!

Now for the hard part... waiting for them to all arrive! 😫😫😫😫😫

Addison_Reads Great selection of books! I also just made my first #thriftbook order this week. I couldn't believe the selection and pricing. I'll definitely order more from them too. 6y

Liatrek Love ThriftBooks ❤️ it‘s my main source of books now 😊 6y
kristincatastrophic Yes, love ThiftBooks! 6y
InBooksILive @Addison_Reads right?! I saved so much money ordering from them! I usually ordered from Amazon but their used books would always come in awful shape and not for very cheap either at that! 6y
sebrittainclark I love thriftbooks! They're my go to for anything that isn't a recent release. 6y

Thriftbooks is playing a #dangerous game with me with deals! Reminding myself I‘m on a book ban until after Christmas! *deep breathing* 😂😂

Velvetfur Oohh you've tagged an India Knight book! She used to come into the shop I used to work in (skincare shop) and she was really lovely! Chatty and friendly 😊 I've only read The Shops by her so far but I loved that 😊 7y

Books i found for the #ThrowbackReadathon at my local thrift store today! They were mostly all 2/$1 😆😆😆

monalyisha That‘s fantastic! I‘ve been scoping out my libraries (in both RI where I live & MA where I work). I‘ve only had to buy one online so far. I‘m (pleasantly) surprised! 7y
monalyisha I think I might have to suck it up & buy a Sweet Valley book, though. There‘s one, in particular, that I want to read & I can‘t find it anywhere! 😫 7y
Clwojick @monalyisha I just passed up on buying one. It was a 10 years later book. 🙃 for only $0.50 7y

TricksyTails How sweet of you to think of your friend and do this! 😆🤗♥️ Maverick is so cute. Gimme one! You got a bajillion!!! 😻😻😻 7y

jfalkens 😻😻 I love Book Outlet, they are new books with usually only a mark on the outer part of the pages. They are discounted prices and you can get Scratch and Dent books for cheaper. I've placed 5 (with a 6th my husband ordered for me for Christmas) and all the books I've seen are in great shape and I feel like I got fantastic deals. The two box sets I ordered had a mark on the plastic film but once I removed it, perfect condition 7y
Betty @JenlovesJT47 your cat Maverick!! This will be my grandson's name when he's born in the spring. 7y
Kaye Pretty kitty. 7y
MinDea Half Price Books! 7y
aschermetz I like ThriftBooks because their app is great. I only buy copies in good or very good or like new condition from them though—they have a different definition of “acceptable” than me. 😂 7y
JenlovesJT47 @Betty awesome, Maverick is a great name! 💙 7y
JenlovesJT47 @aschermetz thanks, I've heard that about them lol. I haven't bought anything from them yet but will give it a look! 7y
JenlovesJT47 @Kaye @Chrysta23 thank you! 😻❤️😻 7y
JenlovesJT47 @TricksyTails lol a bajillion? Psh I only have 5! 😂😂😂😸😸😸😸😸😻I wish I could mail you a kitten! 🐱 7y
Redwritinghood I often find used books on Amazon, but not all sellers there mark books correctly. 7y
JenlovesJT47 @Redwritinghood thanks! Very true. I use them sometimes and have about a 95% success rate with the descriptions, so not too horrible. One time I actually bought a used book on Amazon for a penny plus shipping, and it was autographed by the author and is actually worth a couple of hundred bucks! (The late great Janet Leigh) ❤️ 7y
Redwritinghood @JenlovesJT47 Nice! I‘ve never been that lucky. 7y

Rachellynnwright I like thrift books, but I‘m not that picky about the condition of my books. In fact, I like a well-used and loved book! 7y
