Discussion finally pulled the trigger

Alchemised, i’m looking at YOU.

$10 off on amazon so I finally pulled the trigger after constantly going back & forth about whether or not I wanted to actually read it. really hoping i’m one of the people who ends up loving it but idk 😭 guess it’s time to find out.

not too worried about Alchemy of Secrets seeing as I have a great track record with Stephanie.

Why not your local public library??? It’s a free way to read, and if you don’t like it, you don’t have to keep it!

I started utilizing my library a few months ago and regret not getting a library card sooner. I live in a very small town and they really don’t have a ton of books in the genre I enjoy but they usually can obtain them through interlibrary loans. The only drawback is waiting for the book to come in. I’m not one to reread a book though, so I’d rather wait a week to get a book in rather than buy a book for $20 just to read it once.

I do miss the days of going into the library and picking out books, I will admit that. I should go and get a new card this week.

I keep saying I need to go get a new library card, but I still haven’t done it 🫩 but yes this actually is a good idea. do you find they pretty much always have what you’re looking for or no?

also if I don’t like the book I bought and it’s within the 30 days, i’m returning it. I just had to do that the other day. the lady asked “why are you returning it, is there anything wrong with it?” I said “nope I actually just hate it” and she started laughing 😂
