Ooof, books organized by color lol. I get so overwhelmed in used book stores when books aren't organized alphabetically and by genre! Too funny about Jason's aesthetic book cover pickiness, hahaha. I love the London booktuber meet-up videos too! I wish there was a big booktube convention where we could all meet each other! Thank you so much for tagging me! :)
@@bookstalgic I’d love a big convention to meet other Booktubers! I’m terrible with names, so everyone would have to share their first name and channel name! But that would be so wonderful. I really hope I do get to meet several people on Booktube someday! I look forward to your version of this tag! 💛
This was a nifty tag, Kelly. I haven’t heard someone mention MM Kaye’s The Far Pavilions in almost twenty years. My roommate’s girlfriend loved that book and Shadow of the Moon. Her social media handle involved Winter from the latter. I hope you find a copy. Cheers, Jack
I find it funny that your used bookstore treats Louis Lamour books differently from other books! I'm looking forward to doing this tag, even though my favorite used bookstore is an hour away and I rarely get to go there.
Kelly, check to see if your local (and somewhat dysfunctional) used bookstore is a member of the American Booksellers Association. This group gives LOTS of advice and assistance to bookstore owners and managers. It's well worth joining. Then maybe they'll get ideas on how to be more customer friendly.
@@CorinneHSmith Thanks Corinne! I doubt it, especially based on their credit policy. Wouldn’t they have included a logo if they were a member? But we will see! 💛
You could give them a light suggestion. "Hey, I've heard good things about the American Booksellers Association, and how they can help indie bookstores. Maybe this is something you would want to look into?"
Great tag! My small city has only one used bookstore. It's small but fairly good and I would rate it about 7/10. Shakespeare and Company yes! My granddaughter and her husband have a trip planned to Paris in December and I asked her to visit Shakespeare and Company and send me pictures, many, many pictures. I think she is getting tired of me reminding her about it!😂
The first time I went to Paris, I don't think I went to Shakespeare and Company! What the heck was wrong with me back then? I definitely made it there on the second trip. You should just tell your granddaughter you're coming with her! LOL! There's no place like it. 💛
I am an oblivious and curious 19 year old girl and you are my first booktuber! Safe to say I am new hahahaha :')) I wanted to say that I loved your energy and I will try to remember the names/other booktubers you mentioned! Great video /gen !!♡
@@errorissinsan Hello and welcome to Booktube! We’re all so glad you are here! What kind of books do you like or what’s a favorite book of yours? Very happy you found me! 💛
In my area we have a store called Savers. It’s a huge warehouse style thrift store with clothes, housewares, everything…and a huge used book section. We have to drive about an hour to get to the area where savers are located, but then once we get up there, there’s one about every 15 minutes. When we bring my daughter to and from college there are 5 savers on the way 🤣. If you buy 4 books the 5th one is free. In 2025 I need to get my used book shopping under control actually. It is becoming a problem! A super fun problem 😉
@ well when Fourth Wing came out and then nobody could get a hold of it, people lost their minds and were selling their slightly used copies for $200-$300. And people were actually buying them! I was browsing a savers and found a perfect condition hardback with dragons sprayed on the edges that someone had donated! I DID NOT sell it and still have it on my shelf with the $3.99 sticker stuck to it because it’s a trophy now 🤣
What a fun tag! I will have to do this one…though my used bookstores are not nearly as dramatic as yours seems to be! And I have that same edition of Marjorie Morningstar which I first read at age 17! So it is a nostalgic copy for me and I love it even if it’s faded and yellowed. 💛
Jen, I would love for you to do this tag! Consider yourself tagged. I can't believe you read Marjorie Morningstar at 17! Wow! Have you read it since? 💛
@@booksimnotreadingI haven’t but I really should. It made a huge impression on me as a teen. Though I might need to get a different copy to read because I’m not sure my 30+ year old copy would hold up! 😂
Hey Kelly, this was just delightful all around! Feels like a day early birthday present, plus has cheered me up considering two used bookstores I've gone to for ages have just closed/about to close. I was actually just at the latter this morning, as their doors are closing at the end of this month. So they're having a big sale and all. Am bummed, though found quite a few nice ones....I'd like to respond to this though feel I could only answer half the questions... Again, fun hearing more of your experiences, and yes, we need more meetups! Thanks for this. -Carm & both furz
@@gorvo31 Carm, is it your birthday? If so, Happy Birthday! 🎂I am very sorry to hear about your bookstores closing! That is sad! Maybe you could do a haul of the books you got and answer the questions you can from the tag! I would love to see that. I’m so glad you enjoyed this video so much. 💛
Used bookstores are the best!!! Unfortunately, I live in an area without any awesome quirky ones, but there's one in a strip mall about 15 minutes away AND I JUST heard a new bookshop that's part new books and part used books just opened in our actual mall! Very exciting. Great tag, Kelly!
@@readandre-read Yes, it’s absurd. I initially read more of their credit policy in the video, but it was already so long! I look forward to hearing about your used bookstore(s)! 💛
@booksimnotreading It has been years since I went to a used book store. I do have some fond memories of one I went to in my early adult years that I will talk about
My partner would not allow that Wouk on the shelves either (though her standards have been slipping). I’m starting to think we must have a symposium of BookTubers who once worked at B&N or Borders! I haven’t, but I’m beginning to feel like a holdout.
It's much more pleasant to be a customer than an employee! Although I did LOVE going to where all the new books were coming in and watching someone open up boxes of beautiful new books. That was great fun! 💛
This is fun! I am a used bookshop fanatic, although I've never asked about credit because I refuse to be parted with my books. You should come on holiday to a booktuber meetup!
Oh! You Brits and your Booktuber meetups! It's so painful! I tagged you because I've watched enough of your Friday Reads videos to know you like checking out used bookstores. I can't wait to hear your answers.💛
Lovely tag, Kelly. I hope things are going better this week :) I don't really go to physical used book stores because it's hard to find stores with a decent collection of English books where I live and I prefer reading in English than Dutch. I mostly order books online.
Mark! Oh, I love hearing from you! Yes, this tag won't work for everyone. If I were you, I'm sure all my book purchased would be online. Hey wait ... 😃Thanks so much for watching! 💛
@booksimnotreading I should clarify, they wrote the price on the cover/dust jacket. When they had a sale, yep crossed out price with sharpie and wrote the new price under it. What the?
Hi Kelly. Thank you for tagging me. I love the idea of this tag, but I will have to adapt it. We used to have a used bookstore in town, but it closed, along with the independent new book store. It's very sad. I don't have any used bookstores near me. But I do buy used books online and at my local library. I'll adapt the questions to fit my situation. Thanks for thinking of me.
@ we’ve had a used bookstore, an independent bookstore, and two Barnes & Noble stores close. It’s heartbreaking. And I live in a suburb of NY City. I’m not in some backwater town in the middle of nowhere. It makes me very sad…I’ll find a way to do this though. Thanks again for including me. 😊
Kelly, My granddaughter's father and uncle own a used bookstore and I have sent a request for a copy of MM Kaye’s The Far Pavilions. Let's hope! Maybe with some luck they have a copy!!! I am now on the hunt. I love a good used bookstore and challenge to find a book.
@@marciajohansson769 Marcia, you must let me pay you for it and the shipping if you do find it! I love your used bookstore connection and wish I could see it or hear more about it. You are so kind to me! 💛💛💛
My most excited book find was Napoleon by Andrew Roberts. I had been looking for it online but refused to pay the prices wanted for it used. The last time I went to the used bookstore McKay’s they had one and it was $1.50. I grabbed it.
Surprised to see a new video from you so soon. No used book stores near me, however there is a large thrift store about 6 miles away. They carry a lot of used books (unorganized) which are mostly about $2-3. Since the books are so inexpensive I leave them in Little Libraries once they’re read. Just picked up 13 books @ $1 -2 (which I definitely didn’t need) at library sale last week. For any folks that are unaware, Goodwill sells used books online. I bought a nice Library of America book from them. Good luck with deciphering the credit policy at your local. (Half off the original cover price doesn’t sound like that much of a bargain. However, at least the store is organized.)
Hi Mary! I surprised myself! Maybe I was trying not to think about my shoulders, but more on that on Friday. I have had this idea for a while, so why not now? Did you find anything you are super excited about at the library sale? 💛
Last year I picked up “Stoner”(😢) which I quickly read and loved. This year, I was lucky, I found “Hard Times”,Elizabeth Gaskell’s biography of Charlotte Bronte, “The American” by Henry James, “Beloved” by Tony Morrison as well as “Zippy” as recommended during Jason’s bookshelf tour from years ago. I hope your shoulder improves.
Who wouldn't have FOMO? They do not know how good they have it! You and I don't live too far apart, in America that is, but still it would probably take me a day to get to you! One video made me cry, which I know was not their intention, but I really want to be there. 💛
I did that in 2020. I only bought one book the entire year, but it was a great experience to realize my reading tastes have changed over time. But yes, this could be a painful tag at the moment! 💛
It is not good to hear different offers happening at the same business depending... This is basically down right dishonest. Having said that I am very interested in this tag and will be knocking something together in the near future. I have a charity used bookshop in my town. So looking forward to that.
