pipread Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I tend to get books from charity shops, I rarely buy books new because I only keep the occasional one that I think I`ll re-read one day, the others I take to charity shops or pass on to friends. I use the library a lot too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Charity shops, the library, amazon, as bookrings, shops such as Waterstones and Borders, and from readitswap. I'm not fussy about where the books come from, just that I get them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashleigh Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I've recently joined the library as its very near to where I work, in fact thats what got me back into books in a big way! I'm a convert! I usually buy books for charity shops or, if I'm after something specific, from Amazon otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookBee8 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Argh, I feel like the odd one out. Literally, the only place I buy books are from places like Waterstones or WHSmiths. I actually don't think I've ever bought a book second hand. Hence the reason I think I've spent at least a grand in Waterstones the past year . And I'm a student! I don't know how I afford it!

lexiepiper Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 there's a quote in someone's signature here about buying loads of books and then treating yourself to food after if there's any money left, I think that's how we all live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Ever since I was little I said that when I have my own house as an adult, one room will be a book room/computer room/office for me. (I'll have my laptop in there, a PC if it exists can be somewhere else.) And it will be a little dark room, maybe no windows, maybe one, and it will have no wallspace at all, it will be all dark wooden bookcases, and a red carpet, and books stored floor to ceiling, and a wooden desk with a lamp and a laptop. ^_____^ If anyone has read Inkheart, I want rooms like Eleanor's =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewell Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I get most of my books from my father-in-law, as he has loads of books that interest me and he's always bringing more in. If he knows i'm interested in a subject, or i'd like to try a book he will get it for me. He loves books and discussing books more than i do and we have similar interests.

hume Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) I use to use the library, but now I buy all my books. Waterstones or Amazon. I take so long to read a book that I manage to survive between pay days. Edited February 2, 2009 by Kell Inserted ALL the capitals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
