The Busy Giffs: BookOutlet.com

BookOutlet.com

It has been so difficult during this coronavirus quarantine. I'm not complaining because I know it's needed and important but I'm going to say it: I miss doing stuff. I think we all do.  The nice thing has been that without all the distractions of going places, I've been able to spend so much more time reading books and taking walks.

With the libraries being closed, I find myself buying books for the first time in years.  Add in that I can read a 300-400 page book in a day and it's safe to say I need a lot of books to get me through. While we're lucky to have a bunch of the Little Free Libraries near by (free books that I can sanitize!), those books are luck of the draw and there's no rhyme or reason to how they get left behind.  I've been lucky and found great books, but there have also been days and cabinets that have absolutely nothing I want.

I came across BookOutlet.com one afternoon while looking for a particular book. Emmalee found a great series called Ada Lace in one of the Little Free Libraries and she wanted more. BookOutlet.com was one of only 6 websites that had the books and they were 75% less than the other sites.  They offered free shipping at $35 so I decided to see what else they offered.  I was overwhelmed by the amount of books available for UNDER $2 a piece!

I ended up placing a very large order of books-- 17 total for Emmalee and I but only spent $44 shipped!! Given the low prices I expected well worn books and was completely surprised when I opened up our order to all brand new books!


Even though libraries are going to be opening soon for curbside, I am so excited to have this pile to go through and am excited to use BookOutlet.com to get more books for super cheap!
