I've had the time (multitasking while at work) to search the internet for book sellers locally. I managed to order three books online and bought one book from Lyra of Defiantly Deviant. All three pre-loved books were somehow disappointing because a) when I hear people say the book is in mint condition, I trust their word for it and b) Nikki Larin is the worst book seller ever. She won't reply and it took a while for the book to be shipped. She was rude and this would be the first and last time I will buy from her. The books I bought online had creases and OMG THE DUST JACKETS WERE TAPED I couldn't get them to come off! (photo1, photo2) Anyway, I won't stop buying pre-loved books but I won't order for a while. I just ordered a box of goodies from BookOutlet and I cannot wait for the books to get here!Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews that showcases newly acquired books or goodies we bought, received or borrowed during the week.
BOUGHT:
🔼 Shine by Lauren Myracle (from IG: There were creases on the cover)
🔼 Everything Leads To You by Nina Lacour (from Nikki. Dirty dust jacket that good thing I was able to wipe clean but the tapes on the edges of the jacket just won't come off ugh)
🔼 The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord (from Lyra. AMAZING CONDITION)
🔼 Struck (Struck #1) by Jennifer Bosworth (from IG: an old stock)
I am all in all okay with these purchases and totes happy with The Start of Me and You. For the online sellers especially those selling pre-loved books, I have trust issues now HAHA. But I shouldn't expect much, right?
What did you get this week?
I just placed a way too big order from Bookoutlet. I usually do one big one a year and I guess this one is it. Sorry about your orders this week.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time ordering online. I am kind of nervous but I cannot contain the excitement! Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteIts so hard when ordering used books online - I never know whether I can trust the description either. I stick w/ Amazon for used books now so I can easily return them if they arrive in an undesirable condition.
