|  How Do You Get Your Books?
Hello. Just curious, how do you all get your books these days? Amazon.com, Borders, Library. So many options; which one fits you?
I get all mine from Borders. |

It varies for me.
I have books from when I was like, 5 (this cute wolf story... I'll never give that up. And this owl one, but I loved the owl named Sarah cause she was like me at the time and that's my name)... where we got them from any local bookstore.
Now that I'm not in Ottawa... or Washington State...
And now B.C, Canada... I get my books from Chapters if I'm in a town with it (closest is about 1 hour away), Coles (a branch of Chapters), and if I have books to bring into the used book store just in town and find a book there... well there 
Mainly Chapters.
Chapters is a Canadian bookstore pretty much dotted in big cities. Coles is a smaller branch of it in the smaller towns, like mine. Chapters is huge and has EVERYTHING! New and old. But Coles is much smaller and less to pick from, but less confusing.
When I was in the States I'd very very rarely go to Barnes & Nobles.
Sometimes I get books from Amazon...
So ya, varies | |

Library mostly...
Sometimes friends are kind enough to lend their books to me...
But when I go to Books-A-Million, I go crazy....
I am a total Books-A-Million junkie! | |

Mostly Borders, since I have two Borders' that are only 15 minutes away from my house (In opposite directions), I go there a LOT. If I can't find a specific book in either, then I order from Amazon.com | |

I usually just order them online at bol.com, they have pretty much everything I want at low prices and with low delivery costs. Every now and then I buy something at our local bookstore (selexyz) but they odn't have everything there and they are quite expensive. Oh and then there are the times I run into books that seem interesting at small discount book stores here in Nijmegen. But that's not very often. | |

There aren't any book shops around here so I use Redhouse orders from school and Amazon.com. When I'm home, I go to Waterstones and WHSmith, mainly. | |
