MY THIRD BOOKOUTLET HAUL.

This actually isn't my third BookOutlet haul but the third consolidated package I got. I've shared all my BO haul here if you wanna take a look. 2016 was pretty much hoarding at BO because cheap hardbound books are life! I won't tell you how much I've spent but it was all worth it (or that's just what I tell myself, who knows?).

These books are the ones I've ordered back in May and received I think around July? I was still so happy with Shipping Cart's (courier forwarder I used) service back then but then they went from outstanding to crappy real quick. (If you've been following me on Twitter, you'd know why) Nonetheless, still grateful for their service because I didn't spend so much on shipping fee.





I originally planned to just order my fave series from BO. You see, hardcovers are gold here in the Philippines like, prices are not so friendly anymore (damn tax). They are around 17-22$ so BookOutlet really became my best friend. It's darn hard to transition from paperbacks to hardcovers but gurl, let me tell you this: hardcovers are so fucking worth it.



I've completed most of my series from BO and even acquired a lot of titles I've been lusting over for years. If you are not bothered by remainder marks, then BO is the site to go hoard your soul out.

HAVE YOU ORDERED FROM BOOK OUTLET? IF YES, WHAT BOOKS DID YOU GET?
THANK YOU SHIPPING CART AND BOOKOUTLET!

STACKING THE SHELVES (85): THE BOOKOUTLET HAUL EDITION V3.

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.
I just learned digitizing/digitalizing my handwritting last night after several attempts using PicsArt phone app for Android. I followed the tutorial I saw on IG and it was so fulfilling to finally have it done. Having a scanner will do wonders in my crafty life but for now, I am happy with this app. Everything is on my phone! I know I have a long way to go before I become confident in brush calligraphy but I am not aiming for perfection. Yay for more practice!


This post is like three months overdue? When you're a book hoarder, it's just so hard to keep track of your book hauls! :) I think I got these July but didn't really have time to post. I've ordered these all earlier this year, around May, but in two separate checkouts. Got them consolidated before I shipped them to Manila so I could maximize my shipping fee.

STACKING THE SHELVES (81): THE BOOKOUTLET HAUL EDITION P2.

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.
This is the promised part two of my #KateHoardsatBO series. My first Book Outlet Haul is up HERE. I just got my second package a few nights back but I was not quite happy with how the shipping company handled my books. More to that on Part 3. For the meantime, here's the rest of the books I got from my first consolidated Book Outlet package.


BOUGHT FROM BOOKOUTLET:


Thank you so much, BookOutlet and Shipping Cart!

STACKING THE SHELVES (80): THE BOOKOUTLET HAUL EDITION P1.

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.
This is the first successful order I had from BookOutlet. Guys, it's a savings serial killer! Books are cheap there and when I say cheap, like, seventy to ninety something percent cheap! And as you know this person right here *points to me* is a hardbound fan, BO is the best place to be. The first time I ordered was on a sale period so I ordered a bunch of books. Well, I hoarded books. Thanks to Eunice of Nerdy Talks for teaching me how to order from there.

My first failed attempt was last year, I think? Then tried again this March, I settled the shipping payment April and got my very first BookOutlet package just after a little over a month! I was screaming, shaking and flailing like crazy when I got it! It was the best feeling ever!


So how did I order? I just created BookOutlet and LBC Shipping Cart accounts. Shipping Cart will then provide you a US address (their warehouse's) and that's what you'd use as your shipping address on BO. You need to have a valid credit card and just setup your billing address then viola! WELCOME TO THE BLACK HOLE THAT IS BOOKOUTLET! Oh, for cheaper shipping costs from US to PH, use Sea Cargo. And try to ship as much books as you can so the shipping price from LBC can be maximized. It might take a while but IT IS OH SO FUCKING WORTH IT!!

The total costs of all my orders are beyond my allotted book budget for the entire year but if you think about it and start calculating it against the SRP of each book, guys, I saved half of the total. So you go now, you do the math.

And here's the first batch of books I ordered. Brace for impact because a few more are on their way! (I'll post Part 2 of this next week.)


BOUGHT: (All from BookOutlet)
🔼 P.S. I Still Love You (To All the Boys I've Loved Before #2) by Jenny Han
🔼 Vortex (Tempest #2) by Julie Cross
🔼 The Winner's Crime (The Winner's Trilogy #2) by Marie Rutkoski
🔼 We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach
🔼 I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson
🔼 Golden Son (Red Rising #2) by Pierce Brown
🔼 Sempre (Sempre #1) by J.M. Darhower
🔼 Sempre: Redemption (Sempre #2) by J.M. Darhower

Thank you again, Eunice, Book Outlet and Shipping Cart! What did you get this week, guys?
