I'll admit that I am pretty much addicted to Christmas books, especially Gooseberry Patch Christmas books, but others as well. It's not that I snatch up every Christmas book I see, for there are many that I can pass by. But I do love Gooseberry Christmas books and Holly Pond Hill books (like the one above) as well as a number of others. I am planning to downsize my Christmas book collection, as I have some that I just don't use.
But if you are still building your own collection, there's an affordable way to do so. The secret is ThriftBooks.
I just did a very quick search on ThriftBooks for Christmas books and I will not take time to do specific links, but you will get the idea as to what sort of books you'll find and the prices thereof.
Here are a few of the books I found:
* Christmas from the Heart of the Home, by Susan Branch, from $3.79
* Gooseberry Patch Christmas Book 6, from $3.79
* Leisure Arts Spirit of Christmas Book 7, from $3.80
Gooseberry Patch Welcome Home for the Holidays (one of my personal favorites) from $3.79
Christmas with Victoria, from $3.79
Christmas with Country Living, from $3.79
Martha Stewart's Christmas, from $3.79
There are 79 pages full of similar books! Nearly all of the Gooseberry Patch books start at $3.79.
Another huge plus is that when you spend $10 or more at ThriftBooks, the shipping is free! It takes me no time at all to spend $10 there. In addition, as you purchase books, you can earn Reading Rewards coupons -- for every $50 you spend, you earn a $5 coupon which can then be used on any $15 order. Pretty neat!
So if you have a Christmas book habit like mine, or if you know someone who does, you will want to check out this wonderful bookseller. Happy Christmas in July!
Thrift Books sounds like a wonderful resource!
ReplyDeleteIt is, Vee! I shop there often for gifts for the grandchildren, as well as for my own library.
ReplyDeleteThis book looks cute! I also LOVE Christmas books and Gooseberry is at the top of the list! TFS the site I will have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteYes, ThriftBooks is a wonderful site. Of course they carry all kinds of books, not just Christmas ones. As I mentioned to Vee above, I find great gifts there for my grandkids.
DeleteI'm definitely going to check this out, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with it, Vicki. I have found Bible study books there also, a great selection of kids' books, and much more. Yes, one can find Christmas books cheaper on Amazon sometimes (say, for 1¢) but the shipping is 3.99 -- so this is a much better deal especially with the free shipping on $10 perks and the $5 reading rewards coupons.
DeleteOh no, I just entering Christmas in the search box on ThriftBooks and there are 400 pages of books - I am in BIG trouble!!
ReplyDeleteHappy browsing, Pamela! Hope you find some wonderful deals.
DeleteWill check out the thriftbooks! I love Gooseberry patch too
ReplyDeleteThriftBooks is such a great source for any book you might like. I'm so pleased that most of the used Gooseberry Patch ones are so reasonably priced.
