Even if I could afford to buy all the books I read (maybe if I stopped buying groceries!) my small apartment wouldn't hold them all unless I got rid of stuff like chairs and the couch. <br /><br />Some of the rarer books I have to order online because they're not at the library and not at the bookstore. So yeah, I'm not buying a hell of a lot of books actually in the bookstore either.C. K.

So I feel a bit guilty when I know there are authors out there who would really like you to buy the book. And you do love the story. Borders makes it a little easier cause they give you coupons like bi-weekly sometimes up to 40% off any one item. I really like that. Then I'm like... what about the independent bookstores. It can all be so confusing.Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01617683475866158090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-72258147599501117552009-06-02T09:09:07.465-07:002009-06-02T09:09:07.465-07:00Um, I write down the names of books at B&N so ...Um, I write down the names of books at B&N so I can order them for my lib. :) I also have to stop myself from buying stuff that looks awesome on the shelf by saying, "Uh, Deena, you just ordered that for your library!" They are so tempting but yeah, who can afford them all when we all read so much?<br /><br />Pretty much 90% of my non-library book buying are for gifts for others. That's how I support and justify.... :)DeenaMLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093257361683249174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-39884841279552532422009-06-02T08:53:18.686-07:002009-06-02T08:53:18.686-07:00Kate,

Nobody can afford to buy all the books they read. <br /><br />Are books online really cheaper after shipping though?Kate Fallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12856887940900664692noreply@blogger.com
