Melissa (holeyhearted) | 18 comments I got the Kindle edition of A Court of Thorns and Roses for $2.13. I guess I'll find out what all the buzz is about. :)

Sandy | 15 comments I often buy books from Amazon that are under $5. I also get a free book from them every month as a Prime Member. Don't know yet what I'm going to read for this category. Maybe The God Extinction which is a sci-fi archeology book.

Hi Sandy, is the free book a physical copy, or an e-book?

Miranda | 5 comments I read For A Few Demons More for this prompt. I got it from paperback swap a few years ago. If you read ebooks, you can also get discounted or free books through bookbub.

Danielle (danielle_desrochers) | 8 comments If you borrow a book from the library does this count? If not, I think it's time for a trip to Savers!

Miren Arana (ladymorgana) | 45 comments For this prompt I use a book borrowed by the library (here in Spain they're open since May): The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde, a classic, but it did disappoint me... the aforisms were too much for an easy reading...
