Follow My Book Blog Friday #3

Question of the Week: 
When you've read a book, what do you do with it? 
(Keep it, give it away, donate it, sell it, swap it..?)

I read most of my books from the library so they get returned. I buy a good amount of kindle books so I can't give those away. I usually only buy actual copies of books from my favorite authors or from a series I know I enjoy so I keep them. But I do also buy books from used books stores and receive books from friends and I usually try to pass those along or donate them back to Friends of the Library. It is a great little used book store I have in my town and the proceeds go back into the library.

Let me know your answer or leave a link to your post.

    It's a great idea. I confess I don't often go to the library.

    I try to get books from the library but more often than not they don't have the books I want. Space is getting so limited for my books so I too buy for my Kindle.

    I was borrowing a lot from the library, but I moved, and now I'm SAD, because I don't have access to it... however, that's a pretty lame excuse: my BFF lives next door (I mean, literally, the block right next to mine), and works at a library where she can borrow books for up to 6 months :S

    I've also been buying a stack of kindle books, but I've been haunting this book disposal place, where you can get amazing books (I'm talking, like, Vampire Academy, Melissa Marr, Beth Revis, etc etc) from as little as $3, so I've been buying STACKS of books, where as I used to be like you, and only buy books I know I'll love. ANYWAY! My point is--you're clever, and I'm terribly impressed with your self control XD

    I get all of these kindle/ebooks, get them from different sources, etc. & STILL go to the library! I LOVE the library to be honest.
    Our's was suffering financially & they began firing long time librarians, closing earlier, cut backs on buying new materials, etc.etc.
    It was sad & ppl were protesting it. After all in my city we NEED the library for kids. It's a positive, free,safe, place they can go to. Plus they have Guitar Hero hour, story times, movie showings,crafts, etc.etc.
    Thanks for stopping by my blog :) I am a new follower as well <3

    I'm so glad I have Friends of the Library. Does yours do a huge book sale every year to benefit the library too? Following you back.

    The majority of my books are all bought online. I've got a couple that were gifted to me, and I've got ARC ebooks.
    I don't go to libraries,not because I dont want to, but since I live in Puerto Rico, their idea of a library is really just sad. :(

    agree.

    I mostly buy kindle ebooks but ALWAYS buy physical copies of my favorite books, that's why I love them too much to give them away <3

    From the library. OMG, how silly but I never even considered that as an option. Probably because the libraries where I live are a little light on for the good stuff. Anyway. New follower, you've already followed me, just returning the favour!

    I love that you use a library. I check quite a few out from my school library, which my students love to see me reading what they like. Thanks for stopping by my FF post. New follower.

    I use my library 99% of the time too. I'm lucky in that my library is part of the county system and I can get books from any of the libraries in the county.

    I need to start going to the library again so that I can save a little money by buying only the books that I've enjoyed.

    Have a great weekend!

    I don't borrow from the library enough, and I should, but I don't spend too much on books, so I guess it works itself out.

    I always keep the books I buy :) LoL probably because I can hardly afford to buy books, so when I do I make sure its one I love.

    That and I also go to the library too much for my own good LOL
