Anywhere really but I suppose in order it would be Charity, Ebay/Amazon, then local books shops and if I get to Edinburgh then the obscure old world shops
Wherever a french book catches my eyes… For the books in VO I totally want, I made a list for my annual trip in England and buy them if I see them in shops… Or Amazon if I can’t wait… Only paperbacks in this home ☺️
I have to say that recently , due to you guys, I have been introduced to so many new authors. As a person who likes to start at the beginning, I tend to buy off the net. This is because you can’t always get the book in the shops. I do have to say that once I am in an established “series” I will buy in book shops.
Amazon for kindle and most books, although I did just save almost £20 on the price of a new book (Christmas gift) by buying via Abe Books instead. Always worth googling for best price once decision is made 🙂
NetGalley is a site where you can request advanced reader copies of books from publishers in return for a review. Take a look, there are always books that are read now to build up your review ratio. Most of the popular authors use the site. You do get a few knock backs when you first start but after a while, you get more approvals
Waterstones, Amazon, Abacus Books (a fabulous second hand book shop in a town near me) and Sharston Books (a unique second hand book shop). I have been known to drive to Alnwick just to go to the book shop there. Also charity shops
Anywhere I get tempted!! ?? Recently so lucky and excited to be able to buy author signed copies though! Much prefer to buy from the author or small bookshops if I can. I just found an independent book shop not too far from me that also has a little tea and cake shop at the back – a perfect afternoon in every way!! ?
Amazon for Kindle . The others mate like rabbits and have now completely overrun the book hutch. I miss the days of borders when I could go in, take a book off the shelf, read for about an hour in one of their comfy chairs, and then purchase the book to continue reading at home.
Amazon for kindle and all my paperbacks come from charity shops. I carry a book around with a list of all the books I want and fortunately when I am in UK there are a lot of charity shops in the town I stay in.
Amazon, The Works, supermarkets. Smiths, charity shops, table top sales. I love a bargain but try get a fair proportion of them new as I know authors don’t get royalties for 2nd hand sales.
Amazon, mostly, but that’s only because I live in the back of beyond with no good bookshops within a quick drive. Sometimes charity shops, but I do like to buy where I’m making sure the author will get something – even if it’s not as much as they deserve! There is a small WHS near us, and sometimes I buy from them.
Amazon, Waterstones, indie bookshops when near one, library occasionally. I have also bought from indie publishers like Fahrenheit Press who sell ebooks quite reasonable prices, print books too. Also some authors do too.
Amazon Smith’s & Charity Shops.
There isn’t a book shop where I live, so charity shops. But mostly, I use my Kindle.
Amazon for kindle books. There isn’t a local book shop where I live, only Asda and charity shops. .
Anywhere really but I suppose in order it would be Charity, Ebay/Amazon, then local books shops and if I get to Edinburgh then the obscure old world shops

Hi Annette What is “NetGalley” is it anything like “BookBub” or “Freebooksy” that send daily emails of good reads?
