Thanks, ThriftBooks. Not really! 🥳
FYI: If there's a book your library doesn't have and for whatever reason you cannot get an interlibrary loan, you don't have to pay top price for a new book. You can buy books used at Thriftbooks.com for reasonable prices. They even have a rewards program that gives you free books once you earn enough.
I love ThriftBooks. Two of the books I bought to give to the interfaith center arrived NOT in Very Good condition, making them ineligible to donate. The Mr. Rogers book Going To The Hospital was just really beat up, and Cutie Sue Fights The Germs flat out has a page wited out with new words penned in??
[Image Description: a page of a children's book, with rhyming sentences that have been partially altered, which will be represented with <brackets>. "'Bacteria and viruses made you <feel> ill, to help you feel better I'll give you <a bit of medicine>." End I.D]
Some moral crusader took exception to the word "pill" it seems 🙄 I'm just glad they didn't write in "ivermectin", which rhymes with "ill" just as much as "medicine" does (as in, not at all). No idea what "feel" is covering up.
Anyway ThriftBooks got back to me fairly promptly with a refund for both books, I don't even have to return them. I'm definitely going to hunt down a Very Good or better copy of the Fred Rogers book because even tho the photos are painfully Eighties, the story is still solid. I'm gonna try a different book than Cutie Sue tho, the rhyming was meh and it wasn't as thorough at explaining germs and how up stop the spread of them as I would have liked.
So a mixed bag of the books I got, out of the entire bunch only 5 (4, if we're including the fact that one book is the same as another just in Spanish) are things i want to or can donate (the book on being a bipolar child was just. Not good. Can't get a refund on those grounds tho)
Anyway, if anyone has any good books for children about being a child with illness, disability, neurodivergence, or teaching compassion (that's not pity) towards those who are, or how to not spread illness around, drop some recs! I have a free book credit as well as these refunds. The age ranges for the kids are toddler to thirteen.
Thriftbooks haul!!!!!!!
These finally came in and I swear I am so excited.
I am doing major prep work (a year in advanceish) for my only running of Curse of Strahd.
Thank you @thriftbooks for saving the day like this!!!
Curse of Strahd is my passion project and I've been gearing up for a while, and I plan on exhausting all of my resources 🥰
my summer is beginning to wind down to it's end, so i am doing my best to get through as much of my tbr as i can before studying resumes (I'm headed into my last semester of nursing school!!)
book is from thriftbooks.com ♡
