    I so love secondhand books. Nothing makes me happier than when you find books with inscriptions to friends or lovers. Something of that relationship gets sealed forever in the book and it's sooo special 💛

      Yes yes yes!!! It’s so special and magical! 🥰♥️

    I love the idea of those little free libraries- they look so cute! I’ve never seen one in the UK unfortunately though 😞

    • @augustisreading
      @augustisreading  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Oh that’s so sad!!! I didn’t know if they had any other than in North America 😓 Hopefully they come your way soon! They’re truly wonderful! Maybe you could start the trend hehe 😉

      If you look up little library UK something might come up :) I didn’t think I had any near me but when I looked it up I found out that the ones near me are called street library’s instead. It the same thing though just a different organization.

      When I lived in the UK, there were little free libraries often set up in old phone boxes. I got some amazing books that way, one I actually brought back with me to Australia.

    • @DerpySleepyhead
      @DerpySleepyhead 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      There’s some in the uk, just not many near where I live. There’s like one not to far away but it’s still kinda out of the way from where I live so not sure if I’ll ever go there but I might try see if I can.

      You could start one yourself :) They even have programs where they will pay for it, for you, if you will maintain it.

    I actually absolutely loved Perfume by Patrick Süskind when I read it a few years ago🙈 I read it in the original German, so maybe it's not as good in translation, but I thought it was so enticing and strange in the best way 😊 loved the vlog and am so happy for you that you found such great books 👍🏻I always love a good second hand book treasure hunt 😄

    • @augustisreading

    On the subject of the little free library's, my local actual library has a section where people drop off books and you can pick them up and donate books, I do this from time to time I don't find a lot that I want but I do donate books to it, mostly books my ex=wife left when we split up ( I will say I offered to give her the books back after she left a year or so after we split up but she didn't want them back, so there's that, lol) Be on the lookout for a book by Decry Steinke called Suicide Blonde, it (based on what you found) might be of interest to you. I read it about 10 or so years ago and to say what's about would be a bit spoilery, Anyway check it out if you ever find it. Oh, I will add it's a novel not autobiographical.

    I love finding books second hand! Old library copies are my favorite to find. Anytime I see them in Goodwill or a library book sale I freak out. I just found a used hardcover library book of "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote and it was a glorious day haha

    • @augustisreading

      @igotjams1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I found a first edition copy of "In Cold Blood" in perfect condition at our local Friends of the Library. I paid $1 for this book. About a year earlier I picked up a first edition Hemingway, "The Sun Also Rises" in the same library for a buck. I've had the two books appraised and they are worth just under 10k

    Raisin in the Sun in an American literary classic. It was made into a film starring Sidney Poitier in 1961. The film is a classic too.

    I used to buy my secondhand books in ThriftBooks. Most of the time books are in the condition described in the ad but sometimes they are not. However, my experience with the customer service is excellent. They will replace the copy or will give you a refund. They respond in a promptly manner. I always look intage copies or original hardcover. I wish we could have here those used bookstore located in US or other countries.
