I try to spend my money wisely. Here’s what I do:
- The only time I usually pay list price is when I buy from indie bookstores and it’s usually when there’s a book event. Purchasing a book helps support the event and gives them a reason to continue bringing authors to town.
- Book Outlet is your friend.
- Book sales in nearby cities. This is where a huge amount of my books from the last year came from. Look to see if they have half price on the last day. You can find every genre, new and old, and the money usually goes to libraries or literacy programs.
- There’s at least one store that has a “savings catcher” on their app. It doesn’t catch everything, but scanning receipts is an easy way to save a few cents here and there. Over time it’ll add up and then you can use that to buy a book
The doors are closed, a doctor faces him, tending gently to his face. Even from this distance I can see how he has changed, how they’ve changed him. He is smaller, skinnier, I don’t look at his arms because I fear that I’ll see his bone outlines protruding under his pale skin.
What have they...
idea for struggling indie bookshops: hold sleepovers.
Sometimes I really don’t feel like existing like not in a suicidal way but I just wish there was a way of pausing life so that I could sleep for a few weeks and figure some stuff out and then not have to feel guilty for missing loads of stuff because really no time had passed at all
ITS IN WORDS
Yes hello this is part of depression and as my psychologist phrased it, feeling like this is often an indication that you’d like to not exist, but you’re too depressed to actually do it. SO! If you feel like this for a period of time around or longer than two weeks, SEEK HELP.
I may not have any friends but atleast I have plenty of time to read
I had no good reason to buy a book today so obviously I bought five
When you finish a book and want to start another but you think the one you just finished deserves a moment of silence
Alright where are the books?
