Before December 2009 unless I received a book as a gift, I only read books that came from the library. Then I received a Kindle for Christmas and all of that changed! I loved that little device so much and only bought e-books. I ended up spending about $200 in books during 2010.
This past summer I that decided unless I was going to be on vacation and simply wanted the convenience of reading an e-book that I would go back to borrowing books. I was simply spending too much money on books. About the same time, our library started lending e-books that are compatible to the Kindle and through my amazon.com Prime membership I started being able to borrow books from Amazon. So....I'm back to borrowing about 90% of the books I read!
The past week I ran through the library to find a new book and found so many (see picture above)! So many that I'm pretty sure I won't be able to read them all before they're due. So many choices...so little time!
Because they were quick reads, I already read Homemade Home and Guide to Home Empowerment. I think Mockingjay will be next on my list!
The library is sometimes like the thrift store. Sometimes I walk out with only one book and sometimes I find a bunch that I want to read!
What are you reading? And do you purchase or borrow your books?

I should so use the library but I buy books..blush I do however pass them around to the rest of the family and whoever else wants then, (still not good enough) I have the Nook and use it some but a book in my hand is so much better.
I should borrow more...I buy 2nd hand from charity shops, which makes me feel good and then I pass them on or they get returned to the charity shop.

I do a little of both - our library is very limited.
I'm reading (and loving) The Hunger Games right now :)
I LOVE our library. We go there every Saturday morning with my kids, and I usually pick a book for myself, and we get books and DVDs for them. I do have a pretty extensive library at home too:)Books is definitely my weakness.
