4) After you have read said book, do you keep it for a re read or re donate it?
5) Do you have a favorite place you like to go to, when looking for second hand books?
6) Hardback or Paperback, do you have a preference?
7) Have you found any real gems?

If you love second hand bookstores and haven't done this tag, please go for it! Tell me in the comments about your greatest used bookstore experience!

You walking through snowy Casper to donate your book was the cutest thing ever.

I volunteer at the ongoing book sale at my local library, which means I get first crack at the incoming books. The prices are cheap (good), but now my book cases are stuffed, which is also good, but disconcerting; I don’t think I’ll ever read everything I own.

This tag is the best! Second-hand book-love! :D

How lovely! I just finished filming my version of this tag to post soon--and talked about Little Free Libraries, too!

Cleaning out the classics section? MOI?

Great Tag, I love used book shops and discovering old books/new gems :)

🤣😂🤣Going to a used book store just to browse!? 📚👀That’s way too much temptation when trying to abstain. 🙅‍♀️(Nice chat Kelly)

Used books are the best but I’ve surprised myself by going for hardbacks more often than paperbacks now, my old eyes need the bigger print! 😉have a lovely day off!

Kelly, I just loved this! How great to have a wee free library so close to your house. Your town really looks beautiful...so many trees! Funny...I always tidy up free libraries, too. 🙂

Keep forgetting to mention this but your kindness message at the end of your videos is so heartwarming, so important to mindfully put it into practice.

Nearly all the books I buy are used....I'd rather buy 20 books for $30 than just one. But I do occasionally buy new. My preference is definitely paperbacks.

[RaineyDayReads]

I buy so few books that I usually just buy them new whenever I do want them, but I love library sales so I guess that counts!

Hi Kelly. This was a good tag, it's always nice to learn more about you. Like you, I tend to keep the books I love, I guess that's why my house is packed to the roof with them, although I try to donate quite a few at least once a year, otherwise I would be living in the garage! Have you got a favorite book you would never part with under any circumstances? Mine is The Oxford Book of English Verse, and of course the complete works of Shakespeare. Thanks Kelly.
