Question

I’m thrilled to find a books group on Glow! I adore books of so many different kinds. I just finished the first Book in the ‘Mistborn’ series by Brandon Sanderson (Fantasy) and am just about the start ‘The Body’ (Non Fic) by Bill Bryson ❤️

Answer

I think hardbacks look prettier on a shelf, sue me 😂 I like paperbacks for their rugged nature and not having to worry about shelling out a ton of money to replace. I'm a person that "lives" in my books - food crumbs, drink spills, I'm pretty sure paint at one point 🤔, dog earing, spine bending - I'm not a fan of marking things up though. It ruins it for me. My goal one day is to have my whole library as hardbacks because, like I said, they look prettier on a shelf 😂 I'm not a fan of audio books (I tend to drone them out) and I'm touch and go on my ebooks. It's a nice way to expand your library on the cheap, but if I really like an ebook I'm going to go out and buy a physical copy 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I read mostly ebooks because I think it’s more environmentally friendly and they are usually cheaper then paper. However, if I really liked a certain book, I buy a paperback/hardback for my collection and to support the author & local book store 💛

Answer

I prefer paperbacks because they're cheaper and I'm broke as hell 😂😂 though occasionally I do buy hardbacks. I'm currently reading After by Anna Todd and its sooo good

Answer

I typically read while on the go so I most often read ebooks. I also usually listen to quite a few audiobooks during commutes. 
I love physical books the same as most readers but it pains me to see my babies get wear and tear from constantly being carted around. There's also the benefit of not having the weight of books in my bag everywhere I go. I have all my faves in hardcopy and have everything else as an ebook.

Answer

I prefer paperbacks but some hardbacks are just jewels!...I usually read paperbacks and If I really like the book (and of the hardback is really pretty) I buy the hardback to decorate my room

Answer

I usually buy paperbacks because they're cheaper but I love hardcovers. They're very sturdy and look amazing most of the time.

Answer

I’m indecisive so I like ebooks/kindle, that way I can literally have my whole library with me. I take a really long time to get around to paperbacks, I’ve had a bit of a habit with half price books, most of them are just taking up space right now.

Answer

Hardback books at home, audiobook at work

Answer

Paperbacks in theory but I love reading so much I’m more for conscience. I have a library app on my phone so I rent ebooks. I have it on my phone. So anytime I’m in a line or waiting or anything I have my phone. So basically, paper books or books are nice and all but I read a book every two days and that’s easier to do with ebooks on your phone. Cheaper too, especially when using the library since it’s all free.

Answer

I’m not picky I love my books 🥰
