How/Where do you get your books? Do you buy them or go to the library? Is there a certain website you use like paperbackswap? I get alot of my books through the library (I am a single mom, afterall!). I am also starting to get review requests for books in which authors send me review copies of ARCs. I use a website called Booksfree.com for alot my books as well. It's like a Netflix for books. You pay a monthly fee and get unlimited rental books sent to you for free. They have free to and from shipping and a great selection of plans to fit every budget. They also have audiobooks! They have quite an extensive array of YA books (and adult!) but only in paperback. If you want a hardcover book, you'll have to buy it or get it from the library. As far as buying books, I only but books that I love or books that I can't get from the library or Booksfree.com or if I have a coupon for a bookstore. I also have a Kindle 3 which I use strictly for cheap Kindle books. I have found a bunch of great indie authors from those! Also, if you have a Kindle, check out Booklending.com. If a publisher has enabled lending on their ebooks, you can wait request that book and when someone posts that book, you can borrow it for 2 weeks!

New follower stopping on by... Thanks for the tip on the books free site! That is really neat. I wonder if the booklending site works for the Nook.
