Question: how many of you use Pango Books for buying and selling books? What is your experience?

I am new to Pango Books and looking to see if it worth both buying and selling. I figured my Listy props would know. My profile is above. Let me know if you have a profile so I can follow you. I have listed some used books if anyone was looking!

BethM I‘ve never heard of this? 4d
Bookzombie I haven‘t used this myself. I only know of it because of several Booktubers I watch talking about it. 4d
Soubhiville I‘ve had good experiences buying books through Pango. I‘ve sold just a couple through them, and I‘d say it depends what you want to sell. It‘s easy to print the shipping label then you just have to drop it at your PO, no standing in line there. 4d
TheAromaofBooks I have been both buying and selling books on Pango for a few months and really like it. I love buying a book where I see the picture of the actual book I'll be receiving, especially if I'm looking for a certain edition. Selling is nice because the shipping is already included in what the buyer pays and you just the print the label and go! 4d
MicrobeMom @Bookzombie @Soubhiville @TheAromaofBooks thank you all. I have decided to try it out and already sold my first book. I also bought a couple of books. I will see how it goes. 2d

TieDyeDude The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab (fantasy, set in the past) - The Wayward Children series by Seanae McGuire (portal door fantasy.

Spare | Prince Harry the Duke of Sussex
post image
Pickpick

I know there have been many reviews of this already. My take aways:
1- Harry preferred life on a war zone to his life in London.
2- He and William received no help with their grief after their mother‘s death.
3- Both brothers are very angry
4- The monarchy is more important than family relationships.
5- The Royals have are controlled by their staff.
6- The media sucks
7- Megan gets the blame for no reason
8- Harry has found true love in Megan

Chrissyreadit I love this review. 4w

I did enjoy this series. The first book is the best, the second book was just ok, and the third book fell between the two. I wanted to love this. Pride and Prejudice and dragons, what could be better? But there was just something lacking. I think it might have been character development. However, it was worth the read.

Just finished this on audio and I couldn‘t stop listening. I love coming of age love stories, and I felt very reminiscent regarding my coming of age love story (without all the drama in the middle). It is a story of friendship, young love, stupid mistakes, and most importantly forgiveness (of those you love and of yourself). 5⭐️s

I have mixed emotions about this book and about this series. I will review the whole series soon. I liked this book more than the 2nd but I feel there was something missing. I found parts fun, exciting, and sweet, but other parts seems forced. I was glad that I read this book though.

Another great read by this author! I have loved everything I have read by her. Carrie is strong, stubborn, talented, and hardworking at a time that is not appreciated or allowed for woman. 4⭐️s would have been 5 but predicted two of the important end points! So good regardless!

I have really enjoyed the modern day retelling of Greek myths. This is the retelling of the Troy and it‘s events before and after, from the point of view of three minor female characters: Clytemnestra, Cassandra, and Elektra. One is viewed as crazy, two are obsessed with vengeance, and one is obsessed with her father. It is dark, slow, and thoughtful. I love putting the females in the forefront and how the events effected them.

#3- start a new book
Bonus- Finish my audiobook Elektra!

Thank you to @Bookzombie for recommending this one. I really enjoyed this stand alone. The island of Thisby was magical gritty and mystical. The water horses were dangerous and mysterious. As a scientist, I kept thing humanity finally had a predator and Sean reminds me of a mix between a horse whisperer and lion tamer. Puck is a strong and fun female character. 4 ⭐️s

#12Bookin2022 I reread this one with my students for my upper level Microbiology course.

#12booksin2022. As a middle schooler/teen in the 90s I was obsessed with Nirvana and I have loved the Foo Fighters. This is not a tell-all. Instead, I found it a warm retelling of important moments in Dave Grohl‘s life and career. It is respectful all those in his life and never puts anyone down. I found the stories about his daughter most touching.

BookHoarder32 @Bookzombie It‘s a standalone. If you want to get into her series books next, I recommend Lament and Ballad (if you like reading stories about the fae) or Shiver starts a series of 4 books (Wolves of Mercy Falls). The Raven Cycle is 4 books (I haven‘t read these yet, but have heard good things) and then the Dreamer trilogy is set after that (same characters) and starts with Call Down the Hawk. 3mo
