Affordable websites to buy books

[hippychick11]

I'm a huge bookworm and am constantly buying books. I usually get them from the library, but libraries close by have been closed since Christmas. Anyway I love books and am always looking for places to buy them that aren't too expensive as generally I just read them once and then donate them or give them away.

Music magpie, abebooks and World of books. Occasionally ebay.

Borrow box is an app you her free books and audiobooks if you're registered with a library. Book wise look at Facebook marketplace

All really good suggestions thanks @bellagogosdead I think click and collect will be available again from April 5th so that will be great

World of Books is great, DP gets all his books from there. They are second hand and usually about £4 or £5

I get books second hand from eBay. I usually pay about £3-4 including postage.

Was going to say the same! Fabulous App, you can borrow e books and audio books directly and reserve physical books.

It's been a great discovery for me.

I used to buy used on Amazon, but have found eBay often have the same sellers but with free postage so works out much cheaper. It’s a godsend as I’m a massive reader and go through so many a month!

A kindle can pay for itself if you keep an eye on offers, because they have a good range of books (proper ones, not self published rubbish) for 99p. If you don't plan to use it on the beach, spa, pool, bath etc, the cheapest one is more than fine.

I've bought hundreds at that price and have so many unread books that I don't allow myself to pay more.

For example, I got Caitlin Moran's latest book earlier this week.

Do you not have a free library near you? Pop a post on your local FB page I bet you'll get loads of offers as people can't take things to the charity shop atm

@KenAdams I'm in Ireland and they don't reopen until April. Just came across a great book swap group on Facebook though so it sounds good
