How much do you typically spend on a book?
This week I found , for example, a few Dean Koontz books for less than $3 each, hardback copies with the dust cover. I also ordered a Stephen King book for less than $5 including shipping.
How do you decide if you are going to spend $1 or $25 on a book? Does it depend on the author? the condition of the book? Or does it just depend on where you get it?
I also seem to spend a significant amount of money on my Kindle and Nook apps.

I am right there with you. Sometimes its hours and sometimes it is days.jamiemarie21 wrote:I typically spend about a week on a book depending on the length. However I have been know to read an entire book in one night if I get fully absorbed.

I usually use Kindle Unlimited to feed my reading addiction, but when I buy a book I usually get it from a second hand shop for less than five dollars. I live in a little house so bookshelf space is limited. I try to only buy the books that I know I will read multiple times.
