Cool! Based on my involvement in this forum, you are certainly not alone in your tastes and preferences. I'm not all too familiar with that genre/category of novels but from talking with people in this forum, they sound very interesting and worth giving a try! What are you currently reading?
I'm currently waiting for a pre-ordered book to come out (The Girl Who Dared to Think 7: The Girl Who Dared to Fight by Bella Forrest) so trying a few different ones in the meantime.

Sounds like the best way to go about it. It's always smart to minimize time spent traveling. Our time is precious, right! Do you think you would go to the library more often if you lived closer? Seems like you have a pretty good system worked out to efficiently get your books.Hatarl1 wrote: ↑08 Apr 2018, 11:15Yes that is how it is for me. I live about a 15 minutes drive away. So it’s not that far. If I don’t have time to keep going to library and search for the books I want, I usually go to their sites and look what they have. Once I find the books I want I place a hold on them. I get about 10 books which last me 3 to 4 weeks. So I don’t have to go back and forth every day or week. It’s easier that way. At my library I can keep books for 3 weeks so if I still have them, I renew it online so I can have another 3 weeks.ianbuchanan wrote: ↑04 Apr 2018, 16:16Hahah, I see what you mean! Yeah, I almost exclusively go to libraries to get the books I want, unless there is a book that I'll want to keep long-term, then I'll buy it (for the cheapest price I can find ). Do you live close by to your local library? I know, for me, I live some time away, and it hasn't impacted my reading habits as of yet, but it's an obstacle that in an ideal world would be avoided...Hatarl1 wrote: ↑03 Apr 2018, 20:28
Your welcome! Yes I am, considering books are really expensive and I don’t make a lot of money. When it comes to the newly released books I just wait until it’s on sale, unless I really really want to read it and need it now then I will buy it now, and again unless if it’s really expensive then I won’t get it. The most I payed was $15 for a hardcover book. But I try to find them in the library first before all else. If I get like extra money that I end up having then yay I will spoil myself with books.

I think there are links that can take you to a specific book to purchase via Amazon but I don't believe you can purchase from Goodreads itself. Sometimes authors use the platform to give away books or exchange books for reviews. I've received a few there. I have also received some in exchange for reviews on LibraryThing.

I love your statement, quality over quantity. I have not participated in the Goodreads Reading Challenge but totally agree that a small book with no quality is not something I want to spend my time on.AnnaKathleen wrote: ↑04 Apr 2018, 13:31 Speaking of reading goals! Does anyone do the Goodreads Reading Challenge? I am, but I'm finding I care less about finishing the amount of books I agreed to and keep reading bigger books that take longer haha. Quality over quantity I think.

My thoughts exactly! Lol. Luckily there is no minimum if you do want to participate in the challenge. I think a reader knows themselves best and if you're reading it shouldn't matter how much or long you read as long as you still enjoy it.Jmteachmom wrote: ↑09 Apr 2018, 10:06I love your statement, quality over quantity.

Awesome, thanks for sharing! What do you enjoy reading the most (genre, author, etc.)?BeatrixPotter wrote: ↑09 Apr 2018, 12:17 I probably average about four per month. I'm an eclectic reader. That being said, I am currently reading five, but some more regularly than others. I always read a bit in the morning and before I go to sleep at night.

I am enjoying them. I read them after watching the show which Im glad I did. There are lots of smaller details in the books and a few differences in the plot (not too many though in my opinion).

Hmm, hard to say. I mostly read what interests me. At the moment four are nonfiction, and one Christian fiction. Poetry ranks pretty high. I also like historical fiction, biography and mystery/suspense.ianbuchanan wrote: ↑09 Apr 2018, 18:41Awesome, thanks for sharing!
