Book poll
I saw this book poll at Callpidder Days, and on Stray Thoughts, being an avid book lover, wanted to participate:
1. Where do you most often buy your books? Online? Secondhand stores? Big name bookstores?
I most often buy them online, Christian bookstore, and Barnes and Noble.
2. If you buy online, which do you prefer - B&N or Amazon.com? Ebay? Christianbook.com? or elsewhere?
I usually check Amazon.com and or ebay.
3. Do you put your name in your books? If so, are you a bookplate or stamp person?
No the only time I write in books is to underline, etc on a book that I KNOW I want to keep.
4. How do you feel about loaning books to others?
I love to hand out books. In fact I have so many books to get rid of and I can not seem to find a buy back book place I may start selling some or just giving them away. Hmmmm idea…maybe I can make a list and first come first serve. We will see.
5. Do you highlight or mark your books as you read?
See #3
6. How often do you visit your local library?
Sad to say, NEVER. I am so bad about returning books, and I then have to pay fines. I find it better to just buy the darn book and not have to live with the guilt. I use to go when my kids were younger.
7. Do you collect any certain kind of book?
Just ones that really hit me, or had a special meaning to me.
8. What do you do when you’re done with a book and no longer want it?
I am struggling with this, I have tons of books I would give away free if I knew who wanted them. See #4.
9. Do you keep a list of or catalog the books you own?
I am beginning to, I use the new program Librarything
10. Any other weird book habits you’d like to share?
Well I am weird in general so how would I know what I do with my books is weird or not, hehehe. I guess I fold the corners down even though I KNOW you are not suspose to. And if I can not sleep I grab my book and read, you may find me at 2am in the morning snuggled on the couch reading (especially if it is a good book).
I won’t tag anyone specifically, but let me know if you do this poll on your blog, or you can answers the questions in the comment section.
