Books are awesome. To this day, few other education and entertainment mediums give you so much for so little out of pocket.

ThriftBooks has become my go-to for purchasing secondhand books. Their selection is incredible! Most of the books on this list you can find on their site, assuming it’s in stock.

In terms of sustainability, I recommend looking for books in this order:

• ThriftBooks or your local library for those who also like tangible books
• Audible (or another audiobook app) for those of you who are auditory learners
• Direct from the publisher (we <3 small businesses)
• and lastly, Amazon.
