A few books I've spotted that were being cleared on the Nile for around $7.50. First two come with possible trigger warnings (definitely the second). Third is a colouring book I've posted before. It was a little cheaper last time but I think there were only a few copies.

When you were little: A tale of the pandemic Hardcover – 14 December 2020 $7.53 (RRP $24.96)

In the year 2020, the world was rocked by the COVID-19 virus, and our lives as we knew them were suddenly turned upside-down. 'When you were little' tells the story of the COVID-19 pandemic as told by a new mother raising a baby during that moment in history.

A tale to be told for years to come; this is a story for all of the new parents who never imagined that they would be raising babies during a global pandemic, but who did it anyway, with strength and love.

The story is written in future perspective, with optimism that one day the COVID-19 pandemic will be a distant memory, and provides a beautiful silver lining to the difficult reality of having a baby in 2020 or 2021.

Half a Pack of Cigs and a Lighter that Doesn't Work Paperback – 11 February 2021 $5.61 (RRP $28.37)

A powerful heart-wrenching collection of pieces from the journals of Dylisium for the past six years. This book is not for the faint of heart, which she has made adamantly clear in one of the first pages painted in trigger warnings. The book follows her raw and honest emotions starting with a heart-shattering break up through sadness, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Coming out on the other end is a very strong, yet broken human falling in love again and continually filled with hesitation. It's clear it took a lot of strength to write the book and it will take an even stronger person to read it. Guaranteed, it will be worth it. Trigger warnings: Addiction, Suicidal tendencies, Drug use, Self-hatred, Self-harm, Domestic violence, Heavily tainted with foul language

    "When you were little, we had to sell your mother's fantastic colouring books to buy half a pack of cigs and a lighter that didn't work…"

    Thanks but I rather buy free ebooks I will never read than cheap hard-cover books I will never read!

      I'm trying to get as many kids books as I can so I can rotate through them. Going crazy reading the same ones. The Half a pack… book sounds like a really really tough book to read but there is a time and place for these kinds of books. I'm going to do my best to try to read it.

        Go get a library card, we get 30 books a week plus some kids blu rays.

          While I do want to go to the library eventually, we are being super careful with him. We also prefer to own our (kids) books. I don't know why but he still dribbles. He should have stopped by now. I'm not exactly comfortable reading books with him that aren't our own and having him dribble or tear them or whatever. Maybe I'm a little OCD but I really take care of stuff and would not be happy with him tearing or ruining stuff (especially if it isn't ours. Even if our taxes pay for it).

            @ozbs25: Good on you! Must be tough with so much uncareful around…

              @bargainshooter: We are actually doing OK. We are in the fortunate situation where we can avoid most crowded situations if we choose to and my wife and I share similar views on most things. I guess the most difficult thing is having to try to explain to friends who want to get on with their lives as if there is no pandemic. I'm perfectly fine with that as they are in a different situation to us but they want to catch up and I just don't feel comfortable doing it. We had an awful time having our baby so we are super careful.

    'The book follows her raw and honest emotions starting with a heart-shattering break up through sadness, depression, and suicidal thoughts.'

    Sounds like more fun than a barrel of monkeys …

    • Yeah, I'm intrigued, but unsure why I am considering buying a self-published paperback that will remind me of all the things I feel when I'm trying to escape into reading. Maybe a good tropical island holiday read with everything provided for you so you can just focus on self-loathing.

      • Same reason people watch sad movies. Escapism through confrontation, maybe?
        Personally I love depressing media, no clue why though.
