Today’s question is:
Describe how you shop for books?
(1)
There are
several authors (John Sandford, Rainbow Rowell, Claire Lazebnik) that I keep
track of their next release date and either order from Amazon or stop at a book
store on release day (although I never pre-order).
(2)
If I’m in the mood to read and nothing I own
sounds particularly appealing I start scouring Amazon for Kindle books that
sound good.
(3)
I periodically go to the half price book store
looking for book club books and inevitably end up impulse buying a bunch of
books I never considered before. Last
time I was there (7 days ago) I came home with 6 books – none of which were why
I went in the first place. Two by Norman
Mailer (evidently I was feeling ambitious), Stephen King’s 11/22/63, and three
random clearance books.
I'm pretty behind on this challenge, too. Oh well! It does sound like you were pretty ambitious at the half price book store. 11/22/63 is a beast of a book... I'm too scared to even attempt it because it would take forever to finish!
ReplyDeleteI figured that if she's leaving the linking party up for 6 months that I didn't have to do them 15 consecutive days :)
DeleteBig books are scary...but sometimes they are awesome. And since I've gotten better at ditching them unfinished if I'm not enjoying reading them I figure it's worth trying. But if I had a baby at home I'd probably stick to fairly quick reads.
