Let's hop, hop, hop!!


Book Blogger Hop


Every week Jennifer at Crazy-for-books hosts a blog hop. Put your link in, post a comment and you can discover a lot of great blogs. The Hop lasts Friday-Monday every week. This week's question/task: 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? If it's on sale, I usually buy books at Target, Walmart or Borders. Sometimes, if I'm in the area I just go to browse. I will thumb through several books. I come close to buying books a lot lately. But my vacation is coming, and I have put myself on a book buying ban since February. I have received review books here and there. BookExpo America and Book Blogger Con really helped feed my reading addiction. I'm pretty sure I'm going to break that ban in a few days. I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't been in a library in years.  As a teenager, I would go to the library all the time. But back then I had no money and no job. I also read a lot faster then. Now, I'm a slower reader and I prefer to own the book.

Here are some blogs I came across:

Book Light Graveyard

    Library fines can add up when you can't read a book as fast as you'd like - I am always renewing books for that reason! Just hopping through!

    I used to renew books like crazy. I'm not even sure I still have a library card. Going to bookstores is always my favorite.

    Two years ago I started tracking where my books were coming from. Please come see where I get my books.

    Not to worry I haven't been to a library in yonks either. The one in my town has crazy hours and I just can't make it there :(

    If they let me keep the books for free I would go to the library all the time! Just yesterday I bought two books after being on a ban since February. But I have a good excuse, vacation is coming.
