Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about book stores…How do you choose what do buy from your local bookstore? Do you have a list, or just browse? What is the selection in your book store like? Do you find what you're looking for? Do you feel pressured to buy the kind of books the store makes prominent? (question courtesy of MizB)
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your opinion in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks
Well as I'm on a book ban this year, not buying as many books, I haven't stepped into a book store to be able to answer this question.
...yeah, I didn't buy that either :)
I tend to be a book store browser more than anything else - which is, for me, a bad thing. If I look, I find, and if I find then I tend to buy. It's much safer for me to go browse in the library. Because of this browsing, I don't usually have an issue with the selection at the two book stores in our local shopping centre. Having said that though, there are times when I've wanted a specific book and not been able to get it there. When I'm looking for something specific, I usually buy online at Fishpond.
I wouldn't say that I feel 'pressured' to buy the books that are on display (both stores are still feauring a pretty prominent Twilight display) but I do always look at what's being hi-lighted, as well as have a look at their best-seller shelves.
