Are more comfortable in a library or a bookstore? Is it all about books for your shelf or just reading the story? If I was rich I’d probably buy every single book I could but since I’m not the library and I are best friends. Do you prefer to just borrow your books or buy them for keeps? Let me know why in the comments below.
With 44.44% of the votes the winner is The Heir, my personal favorite. Thanks to everyone who voted and stay tuned next week to see the results of this week’s poll.

I used to be a buyer but I recently got into libraries in a big way after I joined one last year and even more so since getting a kobo as I can borrow books online! It’s amazing. But I like to buy a copy for myself after reading something amazing 🙂

Same! I have a Kindle and it’s so easy to borrow books from libraries online now. I love it.
