{Mostly} Used Book Haul

[@bookhunterrr3973]

I couldn’t get enough of Penguin book covers, they’re just on another level! 💛

I love buying new books but on the other hand I get super excited whenever I make a good bargain at the second hand book shop

For me it's the kismet of finding books I didn't know I needed or have been searching for. The romance of the used bookstore holds sway over me.

I adore The Great God Pan, had to study it for undergrad and it's divinely daft and amazing (and written by someone just up the road from me).

[@exlibris-fromthebooks]

Yes! I can't wait to dig into it then :)

I've been meaning to pick up that copy of the Oresteia. I read both volumes of Sophocles last year and his Electra was probably my favorite, so I figured the Oresteia would be a good place to start with Aeschylus.

[@exlibris-fromthebooks]

I haven't read Sophocles since my undergrad. It would be really interesting to do a side by side comparison. I'll have to wait until I have all my copies and then do just that!

I absolutely love Black Squirrel Books! I live in Upstate New York at the moment but everytime I go to Ottawa I make a stop there!

[@exlibris-fromthebooks]

We should do a little meet up next time you're in town!

[@MyBookishEmpire]

That sounds like an amazing idea! We should plan something for August 24th, 30th, or September 7th! Those are the earliest times I might be able to get into Ottawa.

I also buy mostly used books now, and use the little free libraries I can find in my city. This way I don't know what I'm gonna get and can be surprised. Also if I need a new book I usually buy it on my ereader as it's cheaper and can then find it used if I really want a physical copy :)

[@exlibris-fromthebooks]

There's a little free library near me that I drop books off too but it's mostly children's books.

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

I buy a lot of books from old bookshops when I’m in Islamabad which is a city which has a lot of old book shops. When I was in Peshawar I bought books online.

[@exlibris-fromthebooks]

It really depends on location. If I didn't live in a big city I'd order more online.
