I love reading. I love books. I love cracking open a new book. But I hate paying $10 for something I am going to read once. Why would I read it again when there are MILLIONS of books out there that I haven't read?
So I am super happy it is garage sale season again! I picked up an old Nora Roberts novel (that actually contained 3 novels) for a whole $0.50 the other day. Incredible! Some of the second hand stores have a really good selection too, then I just donate it all back for the next frugal book worm!
I also love checking out my local library, but I am terrified of forgetting my due date or not having enough time to finish a book and I always take out more than I can read in a three week period.
The other place I love to get books is costco. My son has been begging me for this book out of a series he is reading. They wanted $17.99 for it at chapters! And of course it is new so no luck finding it at the second hand stores and there is a waiting list for the 1 copy the library ordered. I found it at costco for half the price!
Happy Reading!

I am SO envious of your self control when it comes to books. Everytime I go to a bookstore, I end up spending WAY too much money on books I'll only read once. ARGH! I will be checking out the yardsales this summer for sure.
Books are my weakness! I'm lucky that we have a fabulous used book store here. And a new library just opened up right down the street-all of the books are brand new!
