TGIF is a Friday meme hosted by Ginger at Greads. She always has the best questions.
Today’s Question:
Answer:
I only have about 20 books that I will love and keep at all times. I’ve had to buy several copies of quite a few of these as the cover has come off, I’ve moved and lost it, or some other misfortune.
Some Books I keep on hand:
Castles by Julie Garwood
The Secret by Julie Garwood
Everneath by Brodi Ashton
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
The Secret by Julie Garwood
Everneath by Brodi Ashton
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
RieI'm a wife, student, and a dog-lover who reads when I should be folding laundry (bane of my existance), I write (rarely as academic papers consume my life), and love getting wrapped up in fiction.

I borrow from the library mostly, and like you said, keep on hand books that I love.
ReplyDeleteTHE SECRET. Okay, I have to pause here and take a breath and try not to bounce up and down too excitedly since I'm still at work... But I LOVE that book. I've read it so many times and I still love it each and every time!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on being less of a book hoarder, and more of a book borrower. I'd like to (hopefully) make use of my library a little more, as well as working my way through my TBR pile, which is CRAZY right now.
Only 20 books? That's amazing. I guess I'm a hoarder, as I have so much more books. But at least they are mainly digital.
ReplyDeleteIt seems as if American libraries are stocked far better than European ones. I can't even get the books I want from the local library.
Happy Friday! My TGIF
& FF post
I do the samething, only have books I will read again!! I give everything else away! But I do have more then 20 books... I think I have three different copies of Jane Eyre!!
ReplyDeleteI try not to hoard books too much, but I do love pretty covers and tend to buy books that are pretty. I mostly buy books for my nook, so they don't take up any space. I have certain books, like The Mortal Instrument series, Harry Potter, and others that I have to have in physical form though.
ReplyDeleteI'm so much of a physical book snob. If I want to keep a copy on hand it HAS to be a physical copy. E-books for those books I'm gonna read once and most of the time I use the library to get them. Even though I'm a techie I'm so not an e-book girl.
ReplyDeleteI have like a bajillion TBR books, but my I MUST ALWAYS HAVE A COPY or I will die books I only have like 20. They occupy the bottom shelf of my bookcase. I don't usually keep more than one copy of a book unless I'm planning on giving one of them away.
ReplyDeleteI have an amazing library. I can get e-books and audiobooks online at any time and then they have all the newest books I can get a physical copy of and if they don't have something we can always request an InterLibrary loan. Love the library.
ReplyDeleteYay! Glad to find another The Secret fan! I've been reading that book since I was in middle school and have gone through like 3 copies. Worn down so much that they lose their cover. LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteI need to start hoarding more as I am trying to fill up a new bookcase!
