Ugh for some reason I need to OWN the books I want to really read 😂
SAME OMG
Same!
Copy Paste me to and I hate getting second hand books I like my books to be mine and mine only lol
Same!
Legit me
this makes me so sad because I don't live in the States and here I don't have all that options
Me too. :cc
I live in the UK
The real struggle is when you don't live in an english speaking country, but you only read in english. There are some books in english in certain bookstores but they all are paperbacks and basic things like john green, THG or HP. It can be really great if you find a book you want, but if you have all the basic stuff or are not interested it's really hard to find. I love The Book Depository, the free shipping is amazing but for the hardback lover that I am, they are still really expensive. If I want a paperback I usually look up on Amazon, they have some for like, 7 € so it's really great, but they don't have all the covers. The biggest frustration of my life is that I can't use bookoutlest because of the crazy shipping costs. My main problem is that I want a specific cover everytime and I'd rather pay more to have a beautiful hardback than less for a crappy perperback. Aahh the book lover problems :')
+Dreamer Girl YES! Finally someone who understands the struggle!
We are all united, all around the world.
same! i speak spanish
Amazon actuallys has a lot more covers than the one they show when you just put in the title. Try putting in the ISBN. You should get the book in the cover version you want :)
where are you from?
The comment about 4 copies of twilight at every goodwill is not an understatement!
You can also shop at thriftstores (I'm not sure if that counts as Goodwill). There is store near where I live and they have an entire warehouse full of books!
Deals on books honestly makes me so happy! Where I live has like no libraries but my library in university has like no YA books just college books!
Thriftbooks is a good site
Libraries are awesome. Plus other than borrowing the library books you also get book sells. The book sells are like amazing. Dirt cheap book and cheaper than used bookstore or thrift store. I recently got a whole bag of books for a dollar. Yard sales are great too. I don't know if you have a 2nd Charles store but it's a great store where you get used books and also they have a free bin where all the free books are.
There's this website called Thrift Books and it has SUPER cheap books! I once got $75 worth of books for $30!
I first read "where to buy cheap boobs" and I was just confused😂
+Anna-Lena Haitmann Ahh I wish I had that secret but sadly not today
Oh my gosh! I freaked when I saw a new video from you in my subscription box. I am currently sick and have previously watched all of your videos, so these past days have just been me laying in bed and feeling terrible, but now I get to watch this! YAY!
+Colleen is My Queen Feel better and thanks for watching!
AHHHH!! I love you!!!
By the way my name is Zoe too!
Great video! And speaking of great places to get books, I was at a library book sale this past weekend in central FL and I met your uncle. I was talking to another shopper and he heard me mention that I am a booktuber. He said , "My niece is a booktuber." Nice guy! Small world.
Check out garage/yard sales. My sister once got a huge box of books (not in the best condition) for $5. It had a lot of meh books, but it had a bunch of popular books, too, like _The Da Vinci Code_ and a bunch of classics.
I live in Oregon where we have the infamous Powell's books! If you don't know what that is, you must go. It's the largest bookstore in the world. It's honestly my second home. They do have an online version of the store, so that's another place you can go to buy cheap books. 😊
There's a lot of great info here. I also definitely agree about checking out Thrift Books. I got an entire hardback trilogy for exactly $10.
This was super helpful!! I totally agree with you on there always being a copy of twilight at EVERY goodwill ALL the time , haha
I love using Overdrive! Since it's the library, it's a great way to check out books that I'm not sure if I would like and don't want to spend the money on it just yet.
If any of you live in Tennessee, check out McKay's. You can get some great used books for cheap prices! Also, you can turn in old books for store credit/cash! They have locations in Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Nashville.
I live in Canada and in Canada we have a three book stores run by the same company which are: Chapters-Indigo, and Coles. Coles is normally found in a mall, while Chapters is found outside the mall as it's own book store.
Chapters is where I buy all my books. At Chapters they have a point system called Plum points. Plum points is free and can help you save money. It works like this, if you buy a book in the store either for an in store sale or for full price you will earn more points then online.
But, if you were to buy a book online you will get a huge discount if you are a plum member. For example: If you were to buy the hardcover version of "The Raven Boys" it would cost you $15.99-$17.99, at lest a 10% discount if you are a plum points member. If you save your points you can get a certain % off your next order. like $10, $20, $40 & $100 off. A paperback book will range from $9.00-$11.99
To get free shipping you will need to spend $25 or more on your order. If there are any Canadian's or you would like to visit the site here is the link: www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/
If you have any question please ask!
+Michaela Cormier I love Chapters-Indigo. Most of the time I order my books from them or Amazon but Indigo is great and has super fast shipping. I preordered Lady Midnight from Indigo and it shipped on Monday and I got it on Tuesday. I was amazed and the Plum program is awesome. I currently have enough points worth $20
Weasleykins Reads you should try bookoutlet
Book Depository is bae, lately, i buy all my books with them because books in my country are so expensive!
I'm from Tennessee and around here we have a few of the Mckay's used books and they are usually huge two story buildings and the whole bottom story is books with a small movie section and the whole top story is cds. The books are usually very cheap and they have very popular titles and some books that are often hard to find used.
2nd and charles is also a great place!!
There’s also a book website called book bub. U can get books for 1$ or sometimes even free
Umaiza Khan amazing 😍😍
Libraries have book sales too. My library has annual or two book drives a month. They also have books on a self labeled 'For Sale' or something to that affect. I have gotten insane deals even for new releases (.50cents, $1, $2....)
this set-up looks a lot like Colleen from psychosoprano! It looks so professional, A+ Zoe!
Hi Zoe! I'm from Argentina and I only bought a book on bookdepository once (and it was because it had a really good discount) and for what I've heard, the free shipping that they have on the website may not be totally free and that it is kinda of included in the book. I believe it depends on where you are in the world, the farther you are from (i think) the UK the more expensive it is! But the great thing about this website is that there are discounts everyday, and they arrive in great conditions!
Btw, i love your videos! :)
I love that you mentioned goodwill!!! They dooo have some gems! I found a collection of the first 6 books of SOOKIE stackhouse books for 7$ in a pretty box and everything!!
I live in the smallest town called Boquete, in Panama. It's a small town, but a lot of foreign people live here, so the library is AMAZING and every three months they have a special sale with new books, paperbacks $1, hardcovers $2 and if you're panamanian, you get half price in everything. I've bought the whole Percy jackson series, twilight, harry potter as new,.. I mean, I have to wait a lot for new releases unless I buy them on Amazon and the library offers sweet deals.
The problem with living in a country that is not an english speaking one is that there are very few english books in stores and even if you do find a book you want in English, it double the price!!! Thank you for telling us about book depository; i think it will prove to be very handy in the near future!!!
Totally agree about Books a million! Their begin section gives me life. And lol at twilight being at goodwill! Mine always has books from that series. 😂
If anyone is in the northern Virginia area, there is a wonderful gem all the way out in Manassas, VA called McKay Used Books. It's a little out in the middle of nowhere, but the selection is incredible and the prices were unbelievable! The last time I went I got 20 books for less than $20 total! My favorite was getting a hardback barely-cracked-open copy of Khalid Hosseini's And The Mountains Echoed for 25 cents!
Books-a-million is also really amazing if you get a membership because not only do you get 10% all orders BUT they send you coupons in your email and they have a $25 off of $100 purchase and that coupon is reusable. I can normally get 6 new release YA books for $75. So that is about 12.50 per book and it's pretty handy if A. you dont feel like waiting for shipping OR B. if amazon has a YA new release for more than 12.50. Barnes and noble isn't that great for in store buying but their online prices are good. and they have $10 off of 50 or 75 all the time. They, however, do not protect their packages very well so any more than 2 books might come damaged.
Half Price Books sounds a lot like Chamberlain's Book Mine (you can trade in books for store credit/cash). There are two Chamberlain's in Jacksonville, FL and you can buy books new/used... I mean, there are so many shelves of books that you could get lost.
Also, my library has a huge sale once a month so definitely check and see if yours does. They may not be perfect but I've gotten some good books, and they're usually like $1-3 each. There's ways to get the plasticky library cover off too if you look it up, though I kinda like those.
We have all felt that book outlet regret. I always frequent my local goodwill and have found some really good deals. Helpful video!
Also if you live in Tennessee, Mckay's Bookstore is AMAZING.
Adlibris!! It has cheap new books with free shipping 💕 I think you can buy books from there if you live in Norway, Sweden or Finland. I'm not 100% sure
I also love using my libraries online options and Bookbub!
I never used to use bookmarks, but Book Depository's are so cute I started using them 😂
I totally agree with you about finding any Twilight book at Goodwill.
I love bookbub! Glad you mentioned it, a lot of people don't know about it because it's for ebooks :) loved your video!
I love Overdrive and One-click Digital for audiobooks. I wish I could use paperback swap but I dont think I can in Canada. Awesome video, thank you!
I went two months without buying books. It was hard and terrible, but my TBR pile definitely thanked me!
There’s also 2nd & Charles. 💞
I am lucky enough to live near a Book Nook store. They have classic hardcovers for as low as $7.95! I am currently reading the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Dollar Tree has some good books too!
OMG. HOW HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF OVERDRIVE?!! THANKYOU ZOE!!!!
Omg you're from Florida! How exciting me too
When you quickly dismissed the library because you have to return the books you check out, you forgot to mention that public libraries also sell used/donated books as well. As for Goodwill, I never saw one that sold books for less than 99c each. Also, there are Goodwill Books stores - but, those stores are high on book prices as well. Thrift stores are great places to buy books - except Value Village, which is usually high on book prices. Yard/Garage Sales are excellent places to buy used books at good prices. Also, flea markets usually have reasonably priced used books - I know this since I am a book dealer at a local flea market.
Agreed with Books-A-Million! I live in Florida too and I prefer BAM over B&N! So many amazing & popular books in the bargain section. I got 5 the other day for only $17. It's crazy!
+Brittnee Bryan Wat is the shipping rate for buying at BAM
I'm not sure! I have a membership with the store so I get free shipping when I order online, but I mostly just buy in the store. It shouldn't be too expensive though. :)
Thank you i really appreciate it, i've been on a lookout for good cheap websites to buy books.
this is was so very incredibly helpful I only used book outlet prior to this and i was like this is the cheapest thing i ahem ever seen take all my money but holy macaroni some of the place like thrift books are soooo very cheap i can't even whoa so excited THANK YOU SOOO MUCH MY WALLET WILL DEFINITELY BE EMPTY BY TOMORROW
I just (yesterday) got 4 books from book outlet and I'm in canada, the shipping is 3,50$ or something like that, plus 0,95$ /book. The books came in 4 business days! (Not counting the weekend)
We have this store specific to NC that's called Ed McKays and it's an AMAZING used book store. That's where I get all of my books now a days. Their clearance section is even better!!! That's my ultimate place to shop for books. And then for me it's Target because they always have good deals when I don't want to pay the extra shipping and handling. Lol! Walmart is reasonably priced. My last resort is Barnes and noble! I live in the Greensboro area and they shut all of our books a million stores down so they're in towns outside of Greensboro too far for me to travel! Haha!
Hi Zoe! I just wanted to say that I found your channel a couple of weeks ago and I love it! Your energy in each of your videos is so great and makes me happy :) Your reviews are great, resulting in me wanting to buy them all (great for my TBR, less great for my wallet). Your lighting and setting are always fantastic and very easy on the eyes, which make me marvel (and a bit envious haha), as a booktube newbie! So anyway, thank your for your great channel, I enjoy it very much :) xx
I actually find that Barnes and Noble is cheaper than a lot of other book stores. At least locally. They are always 30% off or around there. Plus you can get a membership to get more off of best seller hardcovers.
I live in a city with an increasingly ageing population, so we've got a lot of charity shops. Apart from Twilight, Fifty Shades and the DaVinci Code, you never know what you're going to find which is part of the fun, but a paperback is usually just a pound. I now work in a charity shop, so I get a 25% discount. Most of the time my job is sorting out the books and leaving me in charge of books is like leaving an alcoholic to run the bar!I was also pleasantly surprised at some of the good books in the clearance section in WHSmith. You can get some quality paperbacks for a pound or less; I got the Bourne Identity for just 25p!I haven't actually bought any used books on Amazon, but I won a gift card in a Spelling Bee, so I'll try it out.I was wondering, if you buy a used book on Amazon for 1p (not including shipping, obviously) what sort of condition is it usually in?
There's this app called AnyBooks (search it on Google if you wanna download it because it's no longer in the app store) with lots of ebooks (ALL FREE!). And it's not only filled with classics but with tons of new books too!
Better World Books! They have used books for really cheap, shipping is free most of the time and every time you purchase a book they give one away to countries in need! Only hitch is that sometimes they don't have the newer books, but sometimes I am surprised at what I find! They also have textbooks FOR REALLY CHEAP! like really cheap.
Thanks for this awesome video!! I have fallen in love with Thriftbooks.com. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind me mentioning your video and page in the next book review video I do? I do low budget book reviews for me and my friends. I love your videos and would like to share this awesomness with others!
I prefer BookMooch over PaperBackSwap even though the selection varies because PaperBackSwap makes you ship them faster. Which would be great if I didn't work and had hours that pretty much mimic the post office. I can only ship at the end of the week and I got annoyed with PaperBackSwap's constant reminders. BookMooch is more relaxed but seems like the selection isn't as good these days, plus the site is harder to use. Still, I've gotten a ton of great books from it. PaperBackSwap is great if you have the time to go to the post office as every couple of days.
Book Outlet is my favorite for cheap books. I also use Amazon (woot, PRIME) and recently I've been using Book Depository (one pre-order was cheaper there than on Amazon). I wish I had a Books A Million near me. I love the atmosphere of Barnes & Noble but they seem to rarely ever have anything I want on sale. Goodwill is a great option though it's very potluck! lol, ours always has a Twilight book.
I have a local used bookstore that rocks, too, though they don't have prices on the books so while they are affordable, the price always surprises me.
Goodwill is such a good place to get books. I bought HP and the Halfblood prince in hardcover, like new condition for $1.50!
I saw that section in Goodwill!
Takealot in South Africa which takes long but it has like everything or just get a kindle
Hoopla digital app is similar to overdrive. There are audiobooks, movies, and music you can checkout with your library card. Abebooks.com is a great site for finding cheap books.
Half Priced Books is glorious. I used to have one ten minutes from me and I moved to a different state and they don't have any here. The struggle is so real!
I absolutely love Overdrive and Bookbub!!
I don't know if anyone mentioned the dollar tree already but my local ones have really good unused new York times best sellers sections all for 1$ even hardcovers. I collected a bunch of chicken soup for the souls and gossip girl books for my collection from the dollar tree and goodwill all slightly used or free for only a dollar each. I also picked up the twilight series and the host at Goodwill for a dollar each because they kept taunting me on the shelves lol. plus you can get a 10% student discount there lol. you can still be cheap and a book nerd lol.
I messed up big so I did my nails hours ago and I had these pens for nail art done on Em and when I went to read I got some on my book even though it was hours ago I got Em done what can I do
Lol, your comments about goodwill books were so true!! I love going to goodwill, both for the price and for the adventure. :D Cool video, this was very helpful!
A lot of libraries also sell withdrawn books for very cheap. Mine has two full rooms of them for no more than a dollar each.
Bookoutlet I heard was really good, I checked it out and they have a nice selection of used books for super cheep (I saw Anna & the French kiss for A DOLLAR).
I was seriously just looking for a video like this! Thanks for uploading😘
This video is so helpful! I've been wanting the UK edition of certain books, so thank you very much for this x
This video is super helpful Zoe !! ^_^ I might be the only one who really only likes to own my books 😅 I’m not a huge fan of library’s because I want to keep the book and it needs to be in really good condition!! I’m a bit weird when it comes to my books haha
I go to savers my sister got all the twilight and one more twilight book for less then $20
living in Europe there are less options, but another site I use a lot after I checked amazon, is a spin off from amazon (they are connected) www.abebooks.com and there is also abebooks.co.uk...there you have new and used books, they are often cheaper than the options from amazon and I often find books I can find nowhere else. They use different sellers, and some of my favorite are bookdepository you mentioned for the new books, and betterworldbooks have great priced old books and the conditions of the books are reliable. love you channel Zoe!
I have a really large used book store near me and I was put off by the word used, but it is so great. I got a hardback book that retails for 30 bucks and I payed 7 dollars for it
I typically prefer the UK cover of books! Thanks for the tips, I'll use your link ;)
Will definitely be checking these out! Thank you! :)
There is a used book shop in my town. The best! I got hard cover Hunger Games for $10 not bad at all
I buy many books at Goodwill, but in California the start at $1 and go up to $4. You are right about Twilight ALWAYS being there though. ALWAYS!!!!
So helpful! I hadn't heard of a lot of these!
YOU'RE SO ADORABLE I'M OBSESSED WITH YOU, YOUR EYEBROWS AND VIDEOS. In a totally not weird way!
i love your channel. you seriously are the best!
Was the half priced books in Redwing MN because I am a proud Minnesotan and I need to know
This was so helpful! Your channel is amazing and so informative! ❤️❤️❤️
In my local library there is a corner where you can buy books really cheap. I got the "Maze Runner" for about a dollar (I think).
sAme, i got TFIOS for $3 (canadian dollar)
I just got a used copy of city of ashes for two dollars last week at goodwill so yes people check it! 😀
When I buy books (in the UK) I check out wordery, the book people and the works as they have cheap books!
Thank you this was very helpful I will be looking around for book 😊
You know, Apple occasionally puts AWESOME ebooks on sale for like $2-$4 on their book app, like Crimson Bound, Cinder, the Maze Runner, Clockwork Angle, the Lovely Bones, the Cuckoo's Calling, the Winner's Curse, the Host, and A. LOT. MORE but you have to get them as soon as possible because they go back to their normal price, which is usually like $10!!! (I would give that a good two weeks though😸) and btw does the website bookoutlet give you brand new books? For that incredible price and hardcover??
This is so helpful! Books are so expensive where I live, even though Canada isn't the middle of nowhere.
Yes there are so many twilight books at goodwill
I buy most of my books now from Book Depository. I tend to like the UK covers more than the American ones.
I don't know if there are any more of these stores throughout the US but I love 2nd and Charles. Most of their books are very cheap and I can spend forever in there. But then again I can spend forever in any book store lol
BetterWorldBooks is great too!
+thetenthwaffle yea it is really good - though sometimes you have to be careful about the condition.
Book Outlet, Yes! The best thing that has happened to my reading life.
Books-A-Million is my favorite store!!! I am lucky enough to have a Barnes and Noble and Books-A-Million right down the road from where I live but honestly I go to Barnes and Noble only if Books-A-Million doesn't have the book I'm looking for! So much cheaper too!! The bargain section is life!! 😂
Goodwill is a good one too!! I got all of the Percy Jackson and The Olympians series, The Hero's of Olympus hardcovers series, and The Kane Chronicles hardcover trilogy for only $16! We also have a Goodwill Bookstore here too! I live in Florida too!!!!! ❤️
my library is amazing!!! - it's called "the Arabian" here in Scottsdale - they have booksales - the other day I came out with sixteen amazing books ..... for $2.75 ---- wow*
Thank you so much for this!!! I just found your Chanel and I really like your content
I just ordered 3 books from hpbmarketplace and two of them were 99¢ and the other was $4. The shipping is a little hefty- about $10 but the whole thing is pretty cheap!
Literal same I always see a bunch of twilight books at goodwill
