I try to buy across the board, from local stores to chains to online. I'm incredibly grateful that I have a such a wonderful library system in my area AND that I'm able to buy as many books as I do. I also enjoy passing them on if they're not "keepers" for me because they might become "keepers" for someone else. :)Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-75253321079763843722015-06-10T07:25:30.921-04:002015-06-10T07:25:30.921-04:00I remember when I first started writing romance, I...I remember when I first started writing romance, I'd go to the used bookstore and stock up on books. Then I'd bring them back once I finished reading them and exchange them for a new stack. Once I started writing children's book, I got a membership to the Nashville library--and I'd go online and find the books I wanted and have them moved to the library closest to me. Every couple of weeks I'd get a new stack. Now I have a Kindle and I just buy the books I want...I think once you're published you realize how important it is to buy the books! (Although it does get expensive--and if it's a super-famous author like Stephen King, I don't feel bad getting it for free at all.)Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-22437296779333179342015-06-09T15:45:27.374-04:002015-06-09T15:45:27.374-04:00Yep!Yep!Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-17184901114126180232015-06-09T15:24:43.210-04:002015-06-09T15:24:43.210-04:00Don't you love Bradbury?Don't you love Bradbury?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-71941325191407924822015-06-09T13:07:37.862-04:002015-06-09T13:07:37.862-04:00I don't think it matters so much how we keep t...I don't think it matters so much how we keep that sentiment alive just as long as we do. :)Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-67889954573012142302015-06-09T12:37:50.447-04:002015-06-09T12:37:50.447-04:00I'm not sure if I agree with the writing every...I'm not sure if I agree with the writing everyday thing (I cherish my weekends off) but I love the overall sentiment.<br /><br />Very poetic.J.H.
