KIMBOOKS

In honor of the movement to buy books for the holidays, I'd like to introduce KIMBOOKS - "the world’s largest non-profit bookstore". They sell nearly 2 million products and ship to anywhere in the world!

From their website: "Our name stands for Knowledge, Information and Measurement, which we believe are fundamental to individuals, societies, and the ever challenging world. All of our products are sold and shipped at cost to promote reading"

Please support independent bookstore owners and especially non-profit bookstores like KIMBOOKS and buy books for the holidays!!

Urban Outfitters: Hidden Gem for Discounted Books?

Although Urban Outfitters tends to be a little too trendy for me, I like to go in there once in a while and see what fun and sometimes outrageous clothing and accessories they'll be selling next. I especially love to check out their book selection because they always have some really interesting and unique ones. However, it was only recently that I found a tiny section in the store where they were actually selling new but discounted books (usually their books are very expensive)!

Here's what I snagged:

1) I Love You, Beth Cooper by Larry Doyle for $1.90 CDN (I've been wanting this one for a while - it's actually being made into a movie starring Hayden Panettiere)

2) Dark at the Roots by Sara Thyre for $1.90 CDN (the creepy cover both intrigued and scared me)

3) Ugly Betty: The Book by Ann Donahue for $4.90 CDN (LOVE the show and how can you not LOVE Betty plus the book is an adorable magazine format just like Mode)

Anyone else know of any out-of-the-ordinary places to pick up discounted books?
