The Book Thread

Am I the only one that uses the public library? LOL...if I bought half the books I read, I would be broke! And, the half price shops are a true bargain, but, it is often hard to find newer material there.

LOL LOL Good point! It's been so long since I've been to a library...I really should find one nearby and start going because you're right...I spend way to much $$ on books, and they're starting to take over the house! *snicker*

Half Price Books is a dangerous place to go, but definitely a bargain. I try to limit my trips there since I end up buying a basket full of books everytime I go. Luckily the closest HPB is about 30 - 40 minutes away, so I have to actually plan to go there. *sigh* I have found lots of new material at that HPB, but they could be different everywhere you go. I just picked up Morrigan's Cross last time I went, and that's a relatively new book.

I use the public library often. Whenever I notice a new book on sale while I am grocery shopping at Kroger, I come home and reserve it at the online library site. I usually have it within the week If it is not available at our county library, I make an interlibrary loan request and there has never been a book that the library has not been able to locate for me. The public library is an invaluable resource!!

I often buy copies of books that I really like and want to read again - my favorite place to look is half.com

As for libraries - I LOVE going to the public library also - it has been a haven for me since I was a young girl. I love the smells, the sounds and the atmosphere
