Everytime you walk into a bookstore (or wherever you get books) there's a chance to find something really great for your collection!Aleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793307292393570181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13444541.post-67916056910024231772008-05-29T23:37:00.000-05:002008-05-29T23:37:00.000-05:00I'm doing the opposite of you.

I like hardback for my library, but have a lot of paperback as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13444541.post-85677256286911067322008-05-29T15:29:00.000-05:002008-05-29T15:29:00.000-05:00Charley- My favorite things about used books is th...Charley- My favorite things about used books is that since they are already worn in some way i'm less careful with them then brand new books. I like to keep my books in the best shape i can but if they are already banged up there is nothing i can do about it (which is a good thing)!Aleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793307292393570181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13444541.post-86323680304940329132008-05-29T15:25:00.000-05:002008-05-29T15:25:00.000-05:00Carrie-I did the exact same thing!

Occasionally, though, I can't wait for a book to come out in paperback and I'll succumb to the hardback - like New Moon, the sequel to Stephenie Meyer's Twilight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13444541.post-21360188271891852872008-05-28T13:06:00.000-05:002008-05-28T13:06:00.000-05:00like you, i prefer paperback novels, but i prefer ...like you, i prefer paperback novels, but i prefer hardcover when it comes to design or photography books.<BR/><BR/>i also listen to books on tape, but my enjoyment of them depends on the narrator. i liked listening to the percy jackson series, the city of ember series, and david sedaris's books. but i could not listen to criss cross on tape because the reader sounded like fran drescher's voice on the nanny.<BR/><BR/>and i'm a big fan of used books, too. they come with character and history.Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06131924592639030353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13444541.post-71647520762386773432008-05-27T06:23:00.000-05:002008-05-27T06:23:00.000-05:00Liviania-Thanks for sharing!

I've often thought of doing it myself but always forget when I'm actually writing one! Cover design is what gets me to pick up a book usually and the summary is what gets me to actually read it so i think it's important, and also really fun! <BR/><BR/>I'll definitely have to read Just Listen then!Aleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793307292393570181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13444541.post-61235644355732551342008-05-26T21:53:00.000-05:002008-05-26T21:53:00.000-05:00I'm a mass market girl hands down.

Hardbacks can be lovely, but they're terrible for carting around. I can throw two mass markets in my purse.<BR/><BR/>Actually, I've considered writing a short paragraph about design in my reviews. Do you think I should?<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you liked Olivia too! And Just Listen is by far my fave of her books . . . it's so awesome you got a signed copy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
