I went to the library today looking for the 3rd book in one of my favorite series and it wasn't there! In the past, I would have gone straight to the bookstore to get it, but instead I requested a copy from another library. Who knows how long it will take. It's like torture! And as I was walking out of the library I started thinking about books I have bought at home and just cannot part with, books that I would buy in a heartbeat and never wait at the library for...

Do you have a favorite series that you just can't bother getting at the library, even though it's cheaper?

My favorite series of all time is 'The Fever' series by Karen Marie Moning, a 5 part story with the first 3 already out and the 4th on it's way. It's a paranormal/urban fantasy series. They classify it as romance but it doesn't fit the mold. Her next book in the series is coming out on August 18th and I'll be there dishing out 25 bucks on the hardcover no matter what!

Chloe -


I love the classics as well, and have a full collection of great books, leather bound, gold edges and real ribbons.

Well, it helps that I work there, but we've found that we HAVE to sell books year-round...People bring them in constantly and we just don't have enough storage space!

I buy very few books anymore. I realized a few years ago that most of the books I (we) own get read once and never touched again. The one series that I'm completely hooked on is the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. There's a new one coming out in September that I've already preordered from Amazon. I also bought The Shack (paperback) recently
