Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Places I Like To Buy Books
This week's topic was Top Ten Bookstores/Libraries I've Always Wanted to Visit. I have changed it up a bit to include places I like to buy books from as well as a few at the end that I would like to visit someday in the future.
1. Goodwill - This is the closest thing I have locally to a used bookstore. I go to Goodwill quite frequently to buy my books and you can't beat their prices.
2. Barnes and Noble - Enough Said.
3. Amazon - Need I say more?
4. Boulder Bookstore, Boulder Colorado: My boyfriend and I recently took a trip to Colorado and we went shopping in downtown Boulder. We stumbled across this bookstore and I had to go inside. I highly recommend this bookstore if you are in the area. There are also a lot of other shops and restaurants to visit close by.
5. Books Revisited. This bookstore is located roughly 1 hour's drive away from me. My sister also lives in the same city, so I do pop in here from time to time.
6. Garage Sales - I have bought quite a few books over the years at garage sales and yard sales.
7. Books and coffee cups. I have not gotten a chance to visit this one, but I plan to soon.
8. Once Read Book Store - This is also a store that I have yet to visit. I was actually unaware of it until I did a google search for this post.
9. Half Price Books - Would you believe I have actually never stepped foot in a Half Price Books? I really need to change that soon.
10. The Strand - If I ever make it to New York, I would make it a point to stop here.
