Next month we'll be taking a trip back in time to talk about the books we grew up with! To get involved send an email to bloggersbookshelf@gmail.com for more information :)
In the perfect world I would buy everything from a local bookstore. I love the feel of going into a bookstore and spending an hour or two looking through the shelves. Because local bookstores tend to be more expensive I do buy a lot of my books online. Now that I have a kindle I buy even more books online. Usually they come from Amazon because it is the easiest and cheapest.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be able to buy all my books from a bookshop but as Amelia said, when you're a broke student and you need your book fix, Amazon's prices are just too tempting. I'm also trying to start buying my books in hardback format instead of paperback and as Waterstones's YA section is mainly all in paper back, I'll have to make most of my purchases online anyway.
ReplyDeleteAmazon is definitely a weakness! I also find that because Amazon prices are really low, I'll buy more books than I intended to. My excuse for buying four books instead of the original one I was looking for is that I can buy four books for the same price as one in a bookstore.
