Book Discussion: Book Buying & New Bookstore in Town

 

When I began participating in the challenge last year, the subject of book buying came up twice (here and here). In recent months, I have only bought two new books when in Gilroy and stopping at Barnes & Noble in January. I was there again last Sunday, but did not make any purchases this time. And as far as  getting used books at Goodwill or other thrift stores, there has not been much lately that I have wanted to buy; as such I have not added much to my already growing pile. I am currently trying to read from my stacks at home, but still want to visit the library again soon, likely after the first of next month. And I skipped this month's book sale at the library. I wasn't sure about going at first, but a last-minute driving request from a friend made me decide against it. The last few months I'd gone to the sale, I did not buy anything. Obviously not much has caught my interest lately, except the two books I got at B&N in January. And it's been some time since I ordered books (or other things) on Amazon.

And as I have may have mentioned already, my hometown has a new bookstore, the first one in more than 20 years. I was excited to learn about this. I have visited several times already, once before the grand opening. Nothing purchased just yet. A little pricy, but if something catches my interest eventually, I will get it. It's always fun just to look.

How much book buying do you tend to do?
