Hi Claudia, I also use Amazon if I'm looking for used books. The quality is usually pretty good :)

[Groovy]

Hear, hear for Amazon. I used to go to this little shop that sells used books. It was nice. But since covid, it's just so much easier and saves a LOT of time ordering online.

We used to have a shop near us that I liked a lot, but there aren't any close enough to me now to make it worth a trip. Amazon is just so easy.

I'm brand new to the group so please pardon me if this isn't the best topic for my comment.
I've been enjoying buying used books lately. Does anyone do the same? Which websites would you s..."

Hi Claudia, I always go to thrift stores. Most thrift stores I've been to have a large selection of books. It's also very cheap for if you don't have a big budget :)

[Groovy]

Kristie, one thing I miss about the book shops is being surrounded by walls of books that's waiting to take you on so many different journeys. And you're turning in circles trying to pick. Oh, those were the days.

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

I agree, Groovy. It's definitely not the same browsing online versus in a book shop.

[Claudia]

Thanks guys for your replies! :)
Honestly, I'm no longer a fan of Amazon... I know, I'm an alien ;)

lol, Claudia. You can check out https://www.thriftbooks.com. That's the other site I've used.

[JoJo_theDodo]

I'm the same. After I had an issue with some criminal getting my credit card info from my Amazon account somehow and buying stuff I closed out my Amazon account and will not shop with Amazon anymore. Luckily, I was able to cancel my card and get the charges credited back to my account. I don't think Amazon has enough security in place considering how big it is...

[Groovy]

Oh, don't say that, JoJo. But then again, thanks for the alert.

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

Thanks, Groovy. :) We had a great day yesterday and not much going on today. Hope you are having a fun weekend too!

We did have to take two of our dogs to the vet today and our cat is going tomorrow. They were all having something going on that needed to be looked at. They are all ok, but need meds. Weird that they all had an issue at once, but they are three unrelated things.

[EdenB15]

Aw bless them hopefully they will b ok

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

Thanks, EdenB15. They're doing ok. Just random pet stuff, nothing dangerous or serious thankfully.

Happy December, everyone! I can't believe we're in the last month of 2021. I hope everyone has something fun planned for this month.

[Christine]

Thanks Kristie and I agree with you Kristie and I’m going to be spending time with my family Kristie

[Groovy]

Happy December! I can't believe it either, Kristie. Just 4 more weeks and it'll be 2022. Goodness Gracious! And let's not forget the Winter Olympics in Feb.

Fun for me is my daughter and I having a Mario Party telethon, and planning our, Thankful-we-made-it-through-another-year celebration.

[EdenB15]

Is that the new mario party!!!

[Groovy]

YES!!!! Is it not the best? We're still trying to open the entire board. And, the old Mario Party, too. That is still as much fun.

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

Oh, that sounds like fun, Groovy! I'll have to look into the new Mario Party for the grand. It'll be fun to play when he's here next summer.

I forgot the Winter Olympics are this year! I'm so happy about that. I got mixed up with the summer Olympics being postponed.

[Groovy]

Kristie, your grandson will love it. It's clean, and you can't play it without laughing. And I look forward to Feb. when the Olympics air.

does that site charge for shipping?

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

I haven’t been on in a while, Tammy, but I believe they charge shipping if you spend under a certain amount. If I recall correctly, you needed to spend somewhere around $25 to get free shipping. So, it’s a better deal if you buy a few books at once.
