Where do you buy your books?

I have always loved reading and read a lot of books so I try not to spend too much on each book as I would run out of money very quickly (and I dont have that much spare money) so I do tend to look around for the best deals. Here are the places I use the most when buying/getting books: When I am looking for a particular book I want:- Play.com - a great website which sells a huge range of books at competitive prices all with free delivery. If you don't mind second hand books you get use playtrade for even better value with paperbacks costing from as little as £1.50 including delivery. A great site and highly recommended. Can receive cash back via ...  Read the complete review

I have been a bookworm from as far back as I can remember. I have a passion for collecting books on a variety of subjects, which can sometimes make my partner roll his eyes and shake his head!! When I was young, and I went shopping with my mum to the local markets, she used to buy me a 'special' book every month. We used to go to the same market stall and they had a huge array of books for children on offer. As I was so small at the time the choice looked gigantic to me! My mum bought me Enid Blyton books from the stall, one each month. When she bought all those, we then had to go onto The Famous Five and so forth! Now I buy my books from a variety ...  Read the complete review

Well where do I start the first books I took an interest in were by Enid Blyton my parents used to buy me them for birthdays, Christmas etc. Then when I was a teenager I was mad about all the Point Horror books. Now my favourite books tend to be Crime, Horror and Thriller. My favourite authors are Patricia Cornwell, Tess Gerritsen, Mary Higgins Clark and Stephen King. As a teenager I would normally end up in WHsmiths, buying Point Horror books, at the time I had no internet access or I would cringe if my mum took me in a charity shop. Although as I got older I realised charity shops are one of the best places to buy books and you are helping a ...  Read the complete review

Ive only really got back into reading over the past 2 years since my friend in Canada lent me a few because i was pretty skint and couldnt afford to go out much. Tv gets boring after a while. Since then, ive been hooked again. Im mainly into historical romance and some of the authors i really like arent so popular over here or not in my local book shops anyway. I keep all of the books i buy..and ill soon be running out of room so i guess theyre going to have to go into boxes somewhere eventually. My local market - the market in the town center has a pretty good bookstore, especially for the things i like to read. Most are second hand but i know ...  Read the complete review

Intro: It has only been in the last 10 years that I have really started to enjoy books. I was useless at school when it came to reading and so it was more like a chore than a pleasure. These days it is the opposite way round and I tend to read about two books a week now. Every spare moment I get I am reading, my favourite types of books are crime thrillers, but I also like general fiction and auto-biographies on people who I respect and feel they have a worthwhile message for people. Where do I get my books from: For me the is a variety of sources and dependant on my level of wealth or the lack of it sometimes. I think today we are very ...  Read the complete review
