Bookish Things I’ve Changed My Mind About

This was supposed to be a Top 5 Wednesday but I am having such a bad time at actually posting on a Wednesday 

- There Are Good Books in Genres I Don’t Like
My taste in books is varied and I couldn’t tell you my favourite genre but I know I struggle with reading ‘classic’ books. What I’ve learned though is that there are books in those genres I don’t necessarily like that I love. One of my favourite books is The Great Gatsby, which is of course in a genre I don’t particularly got along with that well.  


- That All Recommenced Books Are Great
There Not. It’s actually my biggest book pet peeve when lots of book reviews all say very similar things about the book. I wonder if they weren’t paid for a good review if they actually believed it was a good book. I don’t feel the need to rush out and get the books right away. 

- That I Have To Always Buy New & Full Price
I love bookstores I really do, but I also love bookstores that sell books at a cheaper price. I am honestly not fussed about when I get a book anymore or if I pay full price for it or if I get it at a thrift store. Books in Canada are really expensive, and then you have to add tax on top of that. Let me put it like this, for my birthday in 2018, I went to the goodwill book store, they were having a really good sale where everything was half price. I spent $17 on 9 books. 7 of those books were $2, and the other two were $1.50, that price is still a hell of a lot cheaper that the full price of just one book. Most of the books retail between $27-$33 before tax.   

Also recently I got books 1-4 of the Mortal Instruments series for $3, (75 cents a book) regular price was $54.47 which is insane.  

I love the fact that I don’t have to pay full price for a book anymore.  


- That I Don’t Need All The Books. NOW. 
I have a bad habit of wanting all the books but my favourite author right now. But I’ve learned that it’s ok for me not to have them right now because at some point I’ll get them.
