Being nosey again i just wondered if you all rush to book stores as soon as a book is out, borrow from the library or friends or trawl charity shops looking for a bargain!?

I get a lot of mine from the library sale locally , where you can fill a carrier bag full of books for £1 and also local charity shops. If i want a specific book new then i'll get them from Waterstones or WHSmiths,and then i also use the bookpeople and redhouse sites/catalogues, as well as borrowing from friends! And then i always recycle a lot of books back to various charity shops!!

well it depends really

dutch books mostly from the book shop in my town
english books from WHSmiths at the trainstation when I take the eurostar lol or from B's sister or B's brothers wife.
We have an english bookstore in Brussels too

I love books and like to keep them so I dont recyle them back to the charity shops.

I never ever get books at a library as I want to read them when ever I want. Sometimes I buy a book and finish it immediately and sometimes I start it even after months....
I always buy books in the local bookshop, but for some rare titles, or books that have to be ordered I go to "bol.com"

same with me haha I quit Narnia, for no reason at all ( I din't take enough time for it I guess) and now I'm reding another Arnadur Indridason book, as I'm almost off to Iceland again, and I love to get in the mood. It's so strange ...he ( the dectective) works in reykjavik, and he's always mentioning streetnames etc...I feel like walking there myself.
( do remind that reykjavik is something else than London haha, it's a nice big village, easy to know after beeing there for loads of times)
