As I said earlier, I made my first purchase at the new bookstore in my hometown. I have yet to read the book and am uncertain when I will. Though I really hope to get it this year. So many times when I have bought a book (new or used), I most often put it aside to be read later--never knowing when that "later" will be. Some have been sitting in my house for who-knows-how-long and I still wonder when I'll ever get to some of them, or why I haven't read them yet.
But there was one book I got earlier this year at Barnes & Noble that I recently read. I got the book in January and read it at the end of February. And earlier this month when I found this book at Goodwill, I read it right away. I was looking for a book set in the 1920s and was unaware at first that this is set then. Also, I had been wanting to find this book for a while.
How long do you often take to read a newly purchased book, whether it's new or used?

"Gods of Jade and Shadow" sounds intriguing! Sometimes I read a new e-book right away and sometimes they sit forever.
I have not bought a new release since the 2010s, back when I used to go to book releases. I am lucky that my library gives me access to new releases, and I really only buy older books that are on sale.
I have books that I've had for years that I haven't read. I will one day. I hope. There is this "stuff your Kindle" event a couple times a year, and I always end up picking up a couple dozen books. Some I'll read almost immediately, and some just kind of linger.
It depends for me. Sometimes I read a book right away, and sometimes it sits int he pile, for a long time. Did you like your goodwill book? (Gods of Jade and Shadow) The cover is very appealing.
I don't read my new ones real fast. I have 200 books on my Kindle right now and I read about 100 books a year so I will get to them eventually.
