How many would you say come from the library?

This is the first year I've kept track but so far, of the 71 books I've read, only 12 have been library books.

Ok, I had to go and count but it's at 97 library books and about 23 books borrowed or bought.

Great question! I'd say lately the majority of the books I've read have come from the library. It's such a magic place to visit and even when I go in to pick up a certain title I always leave with at least one newly discovered treasure. Though I must confess that it doesn't seem to have hindered my book spending all together. Right now I have three library books that I have to read in the next two weeks and I just bought a new book yesterday:)

Most of the books I read I buy from various sources.

And of the ones not from the library, how many are "keepers"?

Will you make that "deadline" without much difficulty?

>>I've been getting alot of BookCrossing books which I sort of look at like library books, in that they should be on the top of the TBR pile so I can get them moving again.


I try to do that, too (though I'm not always as successful as I'd like LOL)

80% library
15% purchased (new or used)
5% revisiting my own bookshelves

i don't have enough reader friends who pass books to me- that is really what i need!
