I do sometimes splurge at Borders if they have an awesome coupon, but usually I just browse. Because of budget contraints, :) I like to read it first and then buy it if I like it. Although there are a few I buy right away - the Skulduggery books, or the Theodosia books...I want to get the Enola Holmes books too, but I don't mind if those are in paperback.Raspberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17951500465174845096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543287524818908561.post-86020707222411153932010-02-19T17:19:13.276-08:002010-02-19T17:19:13.276-08:00I have a Kindle, so I get a lot of ebooks online. ...I have a Kindle, so I get a lot of ebooks online. But I go to a lot of book signings to support my author friends, and it seems I just can't walk out of a bookstore without buying something. <br /><br />I rarely pre-order a book. Mostly, I get it soon after it comes out.Karlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02771306878095218330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543287524818908561.post-87913195113800487342010-02-19T00:17:22.843-08:002010-02-19T00:17:22.843-08:00I love to get my books from stores or from book fa...I love to get my books from stores or from book fairs. I will also order them online (if I can keep track of when they will be delivered, than wait by the door for the delivery).<br />I love the feel of a good book in my hands so that I can dive right in for the wonderful stories. <br />Love that it is in the catalog! Cannot wait until I can get my hands on this one!Wendihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416110561098979355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543287524818908561.post-28034697990041416312010-02-17T17:22:14.699-08:002010-02-17T17:22:14.699-08:00Personally, I like (if possible) to go to the book...Personally, I like (if possible) to go to the bookstore and get the book. I like looking through it and holding it in my hands before I buy it. If the book isn't available, I go straight to amazon.com.<br /><br />That's so exciting to see it in the catalog!Ki-o-TEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15690141738103037130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543287524818908561.post-77074839976325026582010-02-17T16:52:20.334-08:002010-02-17T16:52:20.334-08:00When I preorder books, I always use Amazon.

The rest of the time I buy from Barnes and Noble or Borders.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702562351328503338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543287524818908561.post-79078039076498960402010-02-17T16:36:16.174-08:002010-02-17T16:36:16.174-08:00Congrats on the feature!

And probably and mostly importantly for me, I can inspect the book. I have a real bad case of OCD when it comes to my books. They do not have to be in absolutely perfect condition, but I want the best looking copy they have. My books are my babies, so I want them looking as best they can :).<br /><br />As for which stores I shop at, we have Barnes and Noble, Books a Million, and Borders around me. Generally, I prefer BN due to their closeness, but will go to the other stores if they have what I want.<br /><br />I will shop online from time to time. When I do, it is generally Amazon or Book Depository. I really love BD because you can find some great deals and they have free shipping to most places in the world. <br /><br />As to how far in advance I purchase the book, it really depends. I rarely ever pre-order books since most of the time I can get the book shortly after its release. Generally, I prefer PB to HC due to the pricing.. but will buy a HC if it is a book that I am just dying to read. If my library has the HC, I will definitely get the book from there and then if I love it.. I will usually wait until the PB to buy it.<br /><br />Hope this helped you. I can't wait for Forbidden Sea to release it looks amazing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16928184232202306537noreply@blogger.com
