Booking Through Thursday: 6/9/11


Booking Through Thursday is a weekly event hosted HERE. A Weekly meme about (mostly) books and reading.

All things being equal (money, space, etc), would you rather own copies of the books you read? Or borrow them?

Yara's Answer: Yes sometimes I spend too much on buying books or like now that I have no room left on my shelves for books. That being said, I still love physical copies, especially when the cover is so beautiful. Its adds to my collection. I think I own over 50 signed books now and that number continues to grow. 

Jenny's Answer: I would rather borrow them. Not only because of the money situation but space plays a mejor part in purchasing books. You need to make space to place them and when you don't have space you leave them lying around and they get damaged. That's why i would prefer to borrow them or i will purchase them as Ebooks and store them in my Ipad. Thank you technology!

  1. I’m a big re-reader so I like to own my books. I wish I had more signed copies I only have a few and they are lost in my stacks somewhere.

  2. I read often and a lot, I have a kindle now with a significant library and while I do not have the prettiest of covers I get to enjoy my books over and over again without have to find a place to put them. However, I do have bound books as well that were primarily collected before I got my Kindle and those are here to stay! Thank you for sharing today.
