All of the books in my birthday haul were ordered from Book Outlet. Secret service agent Ethan Burke arrives in Wayward Pines, Idaho, with a clear mission: locate and recover. But I have a hard time passing up a deal and I always find ridiculously good prices on the site. Without Book Outlet, I would have many fewer books. Occasionally, a book will have a slight flaw, but typically they are brand new books in great condition from big retailers, like Target or Walmart, or publishers. They stock new books through special buys, publishers’ excess inventory, and store returns – sometimes called remainder or bargain books. My favorite place to buy books online is Book Outlet. 18 2022 by Blake Crouch (Author) 9,691 ratings Book 2 of 3: The Wayward Pines Trilogy See all formats and editions Kindle Edition 13.99 Read with Our Free App Audiobook 0.00 Free with your Audible trial Library binding 73.25 3 Used from 66.80 Paperback 24.95 10 Used from 36.73 17 New from 19. ![]() ![]() Follow Blake on his website, Twitter, Instagram, and Goodreads. ![]() My partner and I do not usually give each other presents, so this is essentially a present from the two of us to me. His international-bestselling Wayward Pines trilogy was adapted into a television series. So while I have not been actively buying books, I made an exception for my birthday. Frankly, I have no more shelf space and too many books I want to read (and not enough time). This year, I made a goal to focus on reading the books I already have and not adding to my book collection. ![]()
