Hey!
Today is my Friday, because I get to have tomorrow (actually Friday) off work. Super stoked about that! I decided to request it off because it’s my mom’s birthday and we have family from out of state visiting. On Saturday we’re having a birthday party for her, which will be cool! π Anyway, I was tagged by Avery from Red Rocket Panda to do the Anonymous Bookaholics tag. You should go check out Avery’s blog! π
Questions:
What do you like about buying new books?
I love the look and feel of books. Especially if they have bright colorful artwork on the cover or pretty fonts. I also love having my bookshelves all set up with so many books on it. It’s actually killing me right now that I currently do not have any bookshelves and that all my books are packed away. I miss being able to stare at them and admire them, lol. Hopefully soon this changes! But honestly, I just LOVE books, reading them, collecting them, everything! GIVE ME ALL THE BOOKS!!!!
How often do you buy new books?
I don’t buy books too often these days, because I already have so many that I need to read and I am also trying to save money. I might buy a few a month or go months without buying. I used to buy TONS every single month though, but have since stopped.
Bookstore or online book shopping β Which do you prefer?
I love checking out different bookstores, but because I don’t have a ton of money I usually buy online. It’s cheaper online, sadly.
Do you have a favorite bookshop?
I don’t really have a favorite bookshop. There was a used bookshop here called Second Edition Book Shop and they had a cat named Catsby that lived there. I really liked going there and checking out all the books that they got in.Β Sadly the book shop closed down though. π¦
Do you pre-order books?
I do pre-order books. I usually only pre-order my auto-buy authors’ new books or a book that I absolutely cannot live without and need it on release day, lol. But mostly it’s just my auto-buy authors that I pre-order.
Do you have a monthly book buying limit?
No monthly limit, but I try not to spend a ton of money a month when I do buy books. So I guess I try to limit myself to $30-50 if I do happen to buy some books.
How big is your wishlist?
My Goodreads TBR is kind of crazy long right now of the books that I want to read that I don’t own, lol. I do have an Amazon wishlist of books though and it’s pretty decent sized. It’s 100+ books, LOL. UGHHH.
Which three books from your wishlist do you wish to own NOW?
Starry Eyes by Jenn Bennett
Heretics Anonymous by Katie Henry
The Lightning Thief Illustrated Edition by Rick Riordan
* Percy linked to Amazon, because I couldn’t find on Goodreads*
I just recently found out that there is now an illustrated edition of The Lightning Thief and I seriously need to own it like ASAP! That $25 price tag though has me hesitating, ughhhh! I love Rick Riordan so much though and I love Percy Jackson. I added it to my Christmas wishlist too, so we’ll see what happens. If not, I might have to breakdown and spend the money. I’ve also been eyeing Starry Eyes FOREVER! I also found out about Heretics Anonymous a few months ago and it sounds so good and I need it!

I hope you have a great day!
I buy books by the cover and if the story seems to interest me. I buy online since there are no bookstores in my area. I do not have a car. I tend to buy many books frequently.

Yeah, I like to buy books with pretty covers as well. I think it’s also more convenient to buy books online too, especially if no bookstores near you or no access to a car to get to places.
Thanks for the tag, doll! β€ I have Starry Eyes but I haven't read it yet! I definitely need to get to it soon! π
I hope you enjoy Starry Eyes when you finally get to it! I really need to get a copy already! π
Great post π
Thanks! π
Such a great tag! And Happy Birthday to your mom. xx
Thank you! π
A very happy birthday to your mom, Ashley! I hope you’ll have a fantastic time celebrating today π
I really loved reading your answers here and I also can’t wait to read Starry Eyes, that one sounds amazing π
Thanks, Marie! The party we had for her was a lot of fun. π
Starry Eyes sounds so good and I need to get a copy for myself already! haha. π
I’m totally the same about book buying now, too! I used to buy AT LEAST 4 a month, but now I can go with just buying 1 book a month. π You totally need to read Starry Eyes–it was so cute. And I NEED the Lightning Thief illustrated edition gah. π Happy birthday to your mom! And thanks so much for the tag. π
It actually feels nice when I don’t buy a ton of books, haha. I always feel guilty when I do buy a lot of books (like this month, ugh) because I already have so many unread books. I finally bought Starry Eyes! Should be delivered to me tomorrow and I am stoked! I put the Lightning Thief illustrated edition on my Christmas list this year, I hope someone buys it for me because I need it HAH. Thanks! π
