Book Blogger Hop (1)

Book Blogger Hop
Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Jen at Crazy for Books.

This week's question:

How/Where do you get your books? Do you buy them or go to the library? Is there a certain website you use like paperbackswap?

I get almost all my books from the library--my local library has a really good YA selection. The only problem is that you have to get on the waiting list for almost any well-known or new YA, which means sometimes I have to wait a few months for a book that I want. So when there's a book that I don't want to wait for at the library, I'll go to the bookstore--usually Borders since it's right by my work. I'll also buy books on my Kindle if I want a book but don't want to make the effort to go to the bookstore. I used to buy way more books, but a lack of shelf space and money got me hooked on the library.

  1. I used to love in my library checking out stacks at a time. But now I mainly buy. I really should check my library out because they just tore down the old one and built a shiny, brand new one in town. New follower! Have a good weekend.

  3. I get many of my books at the Kindle store too. The Kindle is a wonderful way to save space.

  7. I'm just the opposite. Two years ago I started tracking where my books were coming from. Please come see where I get my books.
