How many books do you buy each month?

How many books do you buy per month? Are they physical books, audio books or ebooks?

I’m too afraid to count! 
 

I buy e-books because I ran out of storage for my paper books and sometimes I can get really cheap e-books, which does nothing at all for my frighteningly large TBR!

Paperbacks always, probably 2 or 3 a month (at least!).

Depends. I live in France so new paper books in English are very expensive and there isn't much choice in the libraries either so I stock up whenever I can at secondhand book sales, on my rare visits back to the UK or Kobo/Kindle deals. For instance I've bought five titles for my Kobo since Christmas as  there have been a lot of good deals.

Brand new books I receive at Christmas or my birthday . I prefer the shelves at thrift stores and , book shops . Our libraries sell them as well .

 

I might bring home two or three a month , eventually get around to reading them . There's something warm and fuzzy about glancing at the titles .

 

But yeah, two or three a month , sometimes finish the ones I've started before . Surprisingly, the one that initially disappointed , turns out to be  satisfying somewhere down the road . Something's changed,yes ?

Last year I bought 27. I can't remember what I paid for the dearest (Adam's Roman Building), but the cheapest copy on-line is currently £90. That sort of thing does reduce the number bought!
