The Book Blogger Challenge is hosted by April at Good Books & Good Wine. Stop by her blog to sign up for this fun blogging challenge!!
Today's Challenge is: Describe How You Shop For Books
In a word: Impulsively! I am definitely a bargain shopper though. Even on my limited budget, like any addict worth her salt, I find ways to feed my addiction, like a boss.
- With one click based on a review
- Yard Sales
- Sale section of bookstores
- in bulk on Ebay
- For Sale shelf at libraries
- Local Facebook fleamarket groups
- New & Pristine straight off the shelf
I have to have all of my favorites brand new in Hardcover, but other than that, I don’t mind having books that are a bit worn and well loved. It adds character to my shelves.
What about you? Are you a splurger or a sale-r?

Like a boss.
I haven't got into Ebay for book buying. I'm kind of afraid of how much I would spend and thus how many books would end up in my house if I gave myself another avenue for buying books - especially in bulk! My husband would kill me.
i usually wait for a sale or coupon unless i am going to a book signing, in which case i will get books to support the authors. and i love shopping for books at thrift stores. you can find really good stuff.
I will definitely spend a little more at a signing. I live in the middle of nowhere so I don't get to go to many but this will soon change!
I usually only do ebay if I want to buy all the books from a specific author. I have, once or twice, bought some huge lot of random books though if I thought they were at a good price.
I love buying books recommended from my blogger friends. They never let me down :-) I also troll Amazon for good deals
I haven't thought about looking on ebay. That's a good idea! I am usually an on-saler but, for new books that I really want its like I can't stop myself...
