Okay not cheap by any means, but for regular Amazon customers there are sometimes "digital credit" incentives to pick a later day for delivery of items. These "digital credits" apply to Kindle purchases! Over the last few months, I've probably racked up $10 in digital credits!

I used my local Little Free Libraries. I love them and sometimes I find some good books. Would you consider doing a Little Free Library video?

Love that!! I use those as well (I have 3 around my neighborhood, and have both donated and picked up dozens of great books over the years). A video exclusively on that would be great! Maybe even a vlog of various finds there? Also side bar, I have made my Stephen king tag video and will post soon!

Oh, if you ever remember/are able, could you show the copy of Gone With the Wind? It's one of my favorite books of all time. I've had my beloved paperback since 8th grade. And that was already old because I bought it at a thrift store. It finally fell apart so I was forced to buy a newer copy. But I'll always keep that one. It lives in a plastic bad now on my shelf. I haven't checked it lately, so maybe it's crumbled into dust by now. I love Thriftbooks! At least in my experience, books have been in even better condition than I expected. Bookcrossing sounds cool!

Thanks for this awesome suggestion! Sure thing, I’ll either add it to my next book haul video, or maybe do a short next week showing it. I’ll let you know when it’s up! Great to know that it’s in your favorite books list, I’ll be reading this year and can’t wait to dive in! 😊

@@Shelf-Esteem It's wonderful! Even if you've never see the movie (also wonderful) it will be a movie in your head. And it's not a sappy romance, the way it's so often portrayed. The opening scenes feel that way, because Scarlett is young. But it's more a character study of so many people, and of a time in history of great change. "Romanticized", to be sure, but not in the YA sense. If that makes any sense.

@Yesica1993 I've yet to see the movie too! (I feel like I'm the last person on earth at this point hahah but I wanted to read the book first 😀) So glad to hear about the character study in lieu of sappy romance, just my kind of thing! Have you read the Century Trilogy by Ken Follett? I'm reading the first book right now, and it's got great romance in a similar vein as you described

I’m a bookseller. And whenever I find an amazing deal at a library I always try to donate a portion of the profits.

Love that idea! 😊 Way to pay it forward and provide opportunities for those less fortunate. Where do you usually turn to when selling books you find?
