Twilight Lexicon Discussion Forums

This thread is for Book Addicts. Discuss Books, book buying habits, anything related to your love (or obsession) of books.

I beg my parents for book money and to go to the book store, I split my shopping money in half, so there is about $50 is my book fund. I read books in a maximum of 2 days. It only took me two days to read the last HP book. I seriously read whenever I can, but now it includes alot of fanfics, since my mom only lets me go to the book store about once a month and I can only get one book.

I love books! I'm so glad this thread is up, because we have that "what are you reading?" thread, but this will be a great place for discussion.
I am pretty much a devoted Barnes and Noble girl, mostly because the Borders near my house is next to the mall, so the parking lot is crowded, and my family gets me gift certificates to B&N. But I usually only get books on Christmas and my b-day, unless an amazing book is coming out (like when HP, the Twilight books, Catching Fire, Inkspell, ect came out) because I kinda need to save money for college and stuff like that.
But the library is awesome! I love it. Free books. If they only had a better selection of cds, it would be heaven.

I love books. Everyone at the local library knows me by name, face, library card number, and genre of choice. And I've only been here for a little more than a month, I don't get to buy books as much as I like but my mom has already promised me that I can yuse her card to buy two books as a christmas present.

I used to spend my first paycheck each month on books, and the secodn on groceries and rent, but my spendign habbits have gotten a little more responsible, but there are just so manyy books I want.

i loveee reading! ive read a lot of great ya books in the past, and i like that ive read a variety....
most books that i choose i tend to like, i dont know what it is, whether im easy to please when it comes to books, or that i pick really good books

I only like gettin books that is in a serises so that means im never up todate on the newest books only a few books iv waited for the next book an that is Brising (now waiting for the 4th) H.P. Deathly Hollows and InkDeath, I so love Forgotten Realm books some of them can get costly have to serch the net for complet serises or put serises togather usly starts if I find one at a yardsale or goodwill gotta resque it.

@derek
danggg! thats a lotta books!
what kinda books are you into? all kinds im guessing?
@Hyvanna
nicenice! yardsales are always good!

I have found some wonderful treasures at second hand stores and yard sales. I don't tend to keep them, though. I like to write a note in the cover and then give them away. I often wonder if anyone ever reads the note I left behind. I am a classics kind of girl and am very choosy about the books I finish. Many of the books out there are poorly done re-hashes of older, better stories. I really hate that.

Humm... Openhome now ill prolly go thro some of my books an see if any has notes from prevous owners iv never looked i go straight for the advencher or put them on the self for later I NEVER peek before time im a start to finsh reader, so thankya ya gave me something new to lookfor.. I did get a note from someone I bought some books off of over the net but it was in the box he/she sent the to me in their towns newpaper and 2 extra books saying if i enjoy this one book i'd enjoy this one so that was awesome 2 free books heck yeah.
