Bit like calories. Don’t look therefore they don’t exist 🙂
Kindle Unlimited is the best for me 🙂

Given all the secondhand booksales I get to, I’d say maybe $10-20 some months. Though I’ve had three different sales on as many Saturdays as well.

I’m a heavy library user so not much. I did pay the largest fine of my life last month. $15. Ouch. But I probably average $10-15 a month on books…between used booksales or library fines

My library would write off the fee or I wait until November (amnesty month)

Ours lets you bring in food up to $5 for food pantry instead of cash. I forgot to renew about 30 books (between my children and myself) for a few days and we were locked out (you get locked at $10). I look at it as my user fee. My entire family are heavy library users typically having about 50-70 items out at a time. So it’s money well spent on the occasional fine

I think my library has a Max of 10? It’s also a tiny library.

I shop 3 times a year at my library booksale and spend about $30 each time. Might pick up a book here and there at rummage sales thrift shop, etc. Overall less than $10 a month. I get books from the library a lot as well.

My mom used to ask how to punish me because she didn’t want to take away my book. Because instead of going out with other teens my age, I’d sit at home and read.

She once told me “I wish you would watch TV or something. So I had something to take away from you.”

Nope I will not look into it. Prices don’t exist. It’s all numbers, it doesn’t mean anything. Anyway I always hated maths so …

Between £20 to £40 a month (mainly ebooks). I mean, it’s not even the cost of a decent night out…….

If we all pooled that money together, we could build a library that would put Belle’s to shame ?

I mostly do the library, and pick up used books sometimes at garage sales and such. It is my treat when we go on vacation to find a used book store to splurge at. I usually spend around $60, and that’s a twice a year thing
