Daughter started the Collins the minute she got in from work!
Deblovestoread One thing Amazon has over B & N is pub day delivery, so I'm waiting for the Collins to arrive. Super interested in The Artist. 1w
Sace @Deblovestoread another thing is ease of ordering. I cannot tell you how many times B&N has canceled one of my orders because they need extra verification. 🤣 1w
Deblovestoread @Sace. I‘ve never had that problem with B&N 🤞🏼 I don‘t as I‘m trying to stay away from Amazon. I didn‘t word my comment very well. My book shipped today rather than arriving today 😩 1w

Bookwomble @Deblovestoread My indie bookseller told me that Amazon uses its stranglehold to insist as much as it can (which is a lot) that publishers prioritise the initial print run to them, so they tend to have the book available first. Personally, I'm happy waiting a few days to support my local store rather than further bloating the Bezos bank balance. 7d
Deblovestoread @Bookwomble I admit to getting a little FOMO when I see a book i want but I too am content to wait. It‘s not like I don‘t have anything else to read 😂 7d
Sace @Bookwomble @Deblovestoread I‘m also trying to use Amazon less (and just buying fewer books in general). I‘ve had luck with ThriftBooks and I am going to try Bookshop.org (since I can also support the StoryGraph too). 7d
kspenmoll I have had lots of luck with Thrift Books, Book Outlet, & Blackwells. I buy 1 book per month from my Indie bookstore at 20% discount. I just got lots of upcoming #dundaybuddyread books from Thrift books. I used to use Amazon but not now. (edited) 7d

Oryx How did C like the Collins? I'm debating getting it. Appeals to me more than songbirds did. Are you reading it? 4d
TrishB @Oryx she‘s still reading it- but loving it. Was crying over something in it yesterday and going mad she had no one to talk about it with. I haven‘t read them at all 😱 and have now promised I will before the film of this one comes out. 4d
Oryx @TrishB oh I assumed you had read the others! 3d
TrishB @Oryx not yet! 3d
