Reading On A Budget

Bookworm_ReadingCorner

If you’re anything like us, you absolutely love to read. There’s nothing like diving into a good book that is both well written and entertaining. It’s almost like an escape, right? Anyways, one thing that we don’t like about reading is the cost of books. They can be pretty dang expensive and if you’re an avid reader, those costs can add up fast. So, what can you do about it other than quit reading? We have an answer! Use the tips below to get your read on without spending a ton of money. Ready to get started? Good. Scroll down!

 

eBooks

eBooks are becoming an excitingly popular way to read books. You can read them on tablets, your computer, and on eReaders such as the B&N Nook. Regardless of how you read them, they are typically cheaper than buying the paperback or hard cover versions of your favorite books. In fact, a lot of online stores that specialize in selling eBooks have quite a few that are only 99 cents. On top of that, there are thousands of free eBooks out there.

Library

This may seem like a very old school method to a lot of you but we’re big fans of libraries. The books are free, the environment is soothing, and generally speaking, the staff is very helpful. You have to have a real love of books to work in a library so that’s why we will always recommend it as a good source of cheap reading. In fact, it’s free reading! That is, unless you lose a book in which case you’ll probably be charged a pretty penny for it.

Discover Local Writers

If you know of any local writers, approach them about their work. Chances are, they’d be more than willing to give you a free copy of their latest book in exchange for a little bit of feedback. Not only that but you will be supporting others in your area that have a passion for writing (much like you have a passion for reading). If you don’t know of any writers who are local to you, do a little bit of research and see what you can come up with. There are bound to be at least a few around you but you may just know about these writers yet.

 

And while these are just a few of the many cheap or free sources of books out there, we realize that there are many more. You have the option of going to used book stores, eBay, thrift stores, pawn shops, and anywhere else that may have books at great prices. Heck, you could even try looking around yard sales or just asking some of your reading buddies if you can borrow a book or two. Regardless of what you do, we genuinely hope that you save money and are still able to read as much as you’d like to. Now, let’s get to reading!

Writing A Novel On A Budget

Novels

There are millions of people out there right now who dream of writing the next great American novel. You know, the likes of “To Kill A Mockingbird” or “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Next.” Sadly, most of them will never know that feeling but not because they didn’t have it in them to do it. It’s more because they never try. Why? Well, it could be because they don’t have the confidence to go for it, the time to try, or the money put to the side that will allow them to dedicate the time needed to write a novel. Fortunately, we have a few tips for you that won’t require you to quit your job to get your novel done.

 

Pick A Time

The first tip that we have for you is to pick a time. Yes, that’s right, pick a time. What we mean by this is that you should pick a time of the day to write and stick with that plan. It could be first thing in the morning (set your alarm for an earlier time if you need to) or once everyone else is already in bed. Heck, it could even be during your lunch break. The point though is that you should pick a time to write daily and stick with that game plan.

Make Goals

The second thing that you should do in order to complete your novel without dedicating all of your time to it and quitting your job is to make goals. Be reasonable with the goals that you make and don’t expect to pound out your first (and maybe only) novel in just a month. Give yourself a year and shoot for 500 to 1,000 words a day. If you do this, you should be able to have a completed novel (or rough draft) in just a year without quitting your job.

Share The Word

Finally, the last tip that we have for you is this. Share the word! Tell your friends that you are working on a novel as well as your family and significant other if you have one. You don’t have to show everyone your work in progress and we definitely advise against it but it doesn’t hurt to have some positive encouragement from the people around you. Not only will it motivate you to finish the novel but it’ll also give you something to be proud of. So, when you do finally start working on your masterpiece, make sure you tell people about it.

 

And if you do all of this in conjunction with one another, you should be able to write your very first novel without dedicating too much time to it or risking your job in order to get it done. So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to start working on the next great American novel. We know that you can do it and look forward to reading it. So, when you get famous for your contributions to literature, don’t forget about us! We’d love to read it!

Where To Find Cheap Books

books460

If you’re anything like us, you absolutely love to read! What you may not love though is the price of books nowadays as they can tend to get pretty expensive. Walk into any store that sells books and you’re likely to see some pretty steep prices. How could anyone possibly afford to read on a regular basis with such high prices? Well, they can’t but if you know where to find cheap books, you can read as much as you possibly want. Now, are you ready to find out our favorite sources of cheap books? If so, scroll down and we’ll get started!

 

Used Book Stores

This is our favorite source of cheap books not because it is necessarily the cheapest source but because it is the best. You’re more likely to find something specific in a store like this versus one of our other sources. So, if you have a particular title in mind and want to save a little cash, find out if you have a used book store in your area. It’s a very good source!

Thrift Stores

The next source of cheap books on our list is thrift stores. Here, you will find books that others have donated and they are now available to you (and everyone else) at very good prices. In fact, you’ll probably save 90% in comparison to buying them new in a store. The only downside to buying books at thrift stores is that you’re going to have to do a lot of digging to find what you are looking for and even then, you may not find the book at all.

Yard Sales

Yard Sales are absolutely fantastic when it comes to getting good deals on books because 9 times out of 10, the books are new releases. Very few people ever let books pile up only to sell them later on. You’ll find that most books you see at yard sales are books that have came out within the last year or so which makes yard sales a great source of finding newer books at older prices. Don’t know where to find yard sales? Try your local news paper!

Online

Finally, the last place we recommend looking for cheap books is online. Sites like eBay sell books in what are called “lots” which basically means you’ll be getting a bunch of random books for a cheap price. You can search lots by category though if you just hop on eBay and type in something like “romance book lot” and see what you find. It’s truly amazing how many people sell books on eBay so you should have no trouble finding what you want.

 

And those are our favorite sources of cheap books. To us, a book is a book so there’s no reason to buy it brand new over buying it used unless the used copy is so damaged that you cannot read it or you’re a book collector. Either way, if you want to stock your book shelves for some summer reading, these are the best places that you can do this at!
