15 Day Book Blogger Challenge: Day 6

Continuing the meme, here’s Day 6…

Day 6: Describe how you shop for books.

Well, I’m currently on a book buying ban because of my closet of towering unread book boxes.  But usually I do have a routine.  I don’t normally buy books full price.  Clearance racks are my weakness.  If I’m actually trying, I bring my list of books I’m looking for.  It’s old school; a handwritten list of books to finish series I’ve started buying and a few stand alones.  The list is 10 pages.  I try to remember to bring my list so I can avoid rebuying books (done that a few times, oops!).  Other than the list, I sometimes grab things that look interesting.  But like I said, I’m not buying books right now.  Surprisingly it’s going well.  I’ve stuck to my ban and read a ton of books in my owned stacks.  Feels good to weed out the stacks.
