How do you tend to purchase books? You might not like interacting with other people, so you shop online. Has Amazon become a staple for you? What about BookOutlet or any of the other websites that carry those N2H (NEED TO HAVE) books?

Or maybe you like to spend time searching the shelves for books that just "grab" your attention. Maybe you like the smell of coffee in Barnes and Nobles. Maybe you even like Books A Million.

Your town might even be fortunate enough to have a small bookstore or thrift shops that carry the books that seem to have disappeared off the face of the Earth, or are much too expensive everywhere else.

So let me know where you enjoy getting your books from. Has it been working out well for you? Share some of your favorite hotspots if you wish!

I love Amazon. It has become my safe haven. Butttt... if I happen to be walking through a mall and pass a B&N or BAM ... then who am I to pass up that opportunity? I use Amazon as a means of convenience ...it comes straight to my house. What could be better than that?

I shop online and offline for books. I'll shop online if I have a giftcard for amazon.

r8chh lol I usually go online cause they're so much cheaper. but if it's not cheaper then I'll just go to the store

Sorcha (sorzoc) I love going to a bookstore because you really get a sense of the book. (the font, the story, the cover) however its usually cheaper online.
