I am SO happy I found these covers especially the SFM for War and Rama, since I really like them in contrast to other covers available. Plus, now I have 3 SFM books and they look nice together on the shelf.

Part 1 of my collection. Which is your favorite?

I'm in the early stages of starting a bookstore and to get my accounts set up with publishers I had to put in initial orders. Figured I should get myself some "review copies". How'd I do?

I was waiting for Buffalo Hunter Hunter to come out on paperback and then I got some more books

It's been awhile since I read anything by Toni Morrison, but I remember loving Beloved and Song of Solomon when I read those. And I never heard of Paradise and excited to dive into another Toni Morrison masterpiece.

The Only One Left by Riley Sager was one I've seen talked about online when it came out and was always interested in getting it, but never did until now. Just in time to as I've been looking to read another book in the Gothic genre.

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini is the one book I'm least familiar with. But I've seen it at the top of the best fiction books lists from the early 2000s and decided to give it a try.

The Wager by David Grann I'm sure I'll enjoy as I really liked Killers of the Flower Moon and the way that Grann is able to weave journalistic writing with engaging storytelling was satisfying to read overall in his past book.

The last half of my 2026 reading list. 7/8 for work/school. Currently on Anxious Generation. Anyone else familiar? Fascinating and terrifying at the same time. I work in education and with young people which makes it resonate even more.

Getting my PhD. D in Education inshallah!​

Found at various used book stores, thrift stores and library sales. I paid $134 total for all these

I have around 50 books with no book shelf and i want to arrange them in a creative way without buying a bookshelf.

Have you read any of these?

Still feel 10p a book is a steal but this may be my favourite recent haul - already read Fair Rosaline and loved it & this hardbook version was too beautiful to pass by.

And I'm trying to collect the full DI James Walker Christmas series (Alex Pine), already read the first three - this is the fourth one I haven't yet read. Now just need the final four to complete the set 😊

Also my first (soft) jump into romantic fiction, it's not a genre I typically fall into but willing to give Expiration Dates a shot and see how I feel.

Again really quite chuffed with these purchases.

The Danielewski and Utesko were brand new, but the rest came from my local used bookstore, pretty excited for these, finding used Joe Abercrombie books in my city is really rare.

Grabbed these two books for $3! excited to read something of his that isn’t Naked Lunch.

I've been buying used books online over 20 years now, but between prices increasing to the point where new is often cheaper or only a couple of dollars more and a string of really bad luck (ex-library listed as like new, book with the cover almost torn off, book reeking of cigarettes, book with wadded up toilet paper in it), I've switched to entirely new. I'm super jazzed about the Penguin Threads editions!

This is my book haul from last week starting July 14 till July 18. Have bought too many books? Yeah maybe, I don't know if anyone feels the same when they come across a good deal on books? Like its this euphoric high. Do I love reading books, heck yess!! But do I also love collecting them heck to the double yes!

I know i might be borderline to having a book obsession problem. Because im buying way more books then I can read. Anyone else feel like this or is going through this?.

Put them all in my TBR nook, will be reading them after finishing ‘Braiding Sweetgrass.’ My dad brought me ‘A Botanist’s Vocabulary’ and ‘It’s Lonely at the Center of the Universe’ !

Not pictured: ‘Between Two Fires’ and ‘The Chrysanthemums.’

I was lucky enough to visit the UK and Spain and snap up a huge haul of books at a more than reasonable price (at different charity shops + a church sale).

Very excited with these books I found at the thrift store.
