Twice yearly we have a huge second-hand book fair here and that's where a lot of my books come from. Our library doesn't have a lot of the kind of books that I like to read unfortunately. Amazon is still a weakness of mine though!Sammyleiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477046251319443484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519986092114737286.post-17286384433792251922012-07-28T20:25:57.464-07:002012-07-28T20:25:57.464-07:00I love to read a good book!

It is my favorite spot to visit when I'm at my daughter's. Thrift stores are great too! Sometimes purchase from Amazon or Costco but love the used book prices:)Kathy Skinner (Kat)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12062260189125326781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519986092114737286.post-11439162105081458322012-07-28T19:08:17.938-07:002012-07-28T19:08:17.938-07:00In our neighborhood library we have an area where ...In our neighborhood library we have an area where they sell some books for 50c-$1 but that hardly ever have something good there.

Hardbacks are a dollar and paperbacks are fifty cents and they have a good selection. Most of what we read comes from the library, but we get books from here also. Especially when we go on vacation. I don't want to worry about something happening to library books while on vacation.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519986092114737286.post-31439608805008100692012-07-28T17:43:26.840-07:002012-07-28T17:43:26.840-07:00I have the original fix it and forget it slow cook...I have the original fix it and forget it slow cooker book and I like it.<br /><br />GillGill - That British Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456247587052149765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519986092114737286.post-34920304675508967372012-07-28T16:10:01.867-07:002012-07-28T16:10:01.867-07:00I love books and love reading but rarely actually ...I love books and love reading but rarely actually purchase a book. I just can't justify the expense when I can read them for free from the library or borrow other's books. I was really nervous when I received a Nook for Christmas that I would be tempted to purchase books with the tap of my finger, but I've hardly spent anything. I can get Nook books online from my library and Nook offers a free book every Friday and sometimes they are pretty good.One Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369132659573259613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519986092114737286.post-49815378222321114862012-07-28T16:02:34.023-07:002012-07-28T16:02:34.023-07:00I'm definitely a "paper" reader...
