Where do you get your books from?

Post by Karen M on 13th January 2009, 2:12 pm

Being nosey again i just wondered if you all rush to book stores as soon as a book is out, borrow from the library or friends or trawl charity shops looking for a bargain!?

I get a lot of mine from the library sale locally , where you can fill a carrier bag full of books for £1 and also local charity shops. If i want a specific book new then i'll get them from Waterstones or WHSmiths,and then i also use the bookpeople and redhouse sites/catalogues, as well as borrowing from friends! And then i always recycle a lot of books back to various charity shops!!

well it depends really

dutch books mostly from the book shop in my town
english books from WHSmiths at the trainstation when I take the eurostar lol or from B's sister or B's brothers wife.
We have an english bookstore in Brussels too

I love books and like to keep them so I dont recyle them back to the charity shops.

tony always wants the books when they first come out so usually tesco or asda as they have good offers on, i get mine 2nd hand usually from ebay or charity shops and the kids books we get from the book people who come to work or special offers in various shops etc

I never ever get books at a library as I want to read them when ever I want. Sometimes I buy a book and finish it immediately and sometimes I start it even after months....
I always buy books in the local bookshop, but for some rare titles, or books that have to be ordered I go to "bol.com"

same with me haha I quit Narnia, for no reason at all ( I din't take enough time for it I guess) and now I'm reding another Arnadur Indridason book, as I'm almost off to Iceland again, and I love to get in the mood. It's so strange ...he ( the dectective) works in reykjavik, and he's always mentioning streetnames etc...I feel like walking there myself.
( do remind that reykjavik is something else than London haha, it's a nice big village, easy to know after beeing there for loads of times)
