The Anonymous Bookaholics Book Tag

Thanks to Mani’s Book Corner for tagging me. This was such a quick and fun book tag to do. Everyone reading this can consider themselves tagged! I look forward to reading all your posts 🙂 Now, on to the books!

What do you like about buying new books?

I haven’t been to a book store in a while, since this whole COVID-19 thing began. But I do enjoy ordering books online. I love seeing the delivery truck outside my home, and then the feeling I get when I open the box. I like holding and looking at my new book, and then finding a perfect place for it on my shelf or my book cart.

How often do you buy new books?

Maybe once a month? I only buy books from my auto-buy authors, or books from a series I’m already reading. I don’t like to take chances on buying books that I’m not sure I will enjoy. The only time I do that is with my Book of the Month books. I only get to read a small synopsis on those before I pick the ones I want for that month. I’ve been quite enjoying my subscription. Use my link if you want to save on your first box, and I get a book credit 🙂

Bookstore or Online book shopping? Which do you prefer?

Bookstore 🙂 Except, like I said before, I haven’t been to one of those in a while. I cannot wait for this whole COVID-19 thing to be over. There is nothing like walking into a bookstore and browsing the isles. I love the book smells and taking my time looking at everything.

Do you have a favorite book shop?

There aren’t many options where I live. There’s a big Barnes and Noble in town, and there’s the Target book isle. I like going to Barnes and Noble when I can. There’s also this small book store at the beach one town over, and I love going there when I can.

Do you pre-order books?

Yes, mostly books I’ve been waiting for a while for, and I know won’t be available at my Library for quite some time. These are usually books in a series I love, and written by an author I am familiar with.

Do you have a monthly buying limit?

People have those? Just kidding honey! (for my husband who sometimes reads my blog) If I really want a book I’ll just buy it, but this doesn’t happen too often. I also spend my money on book merchandise every once in a while if I really fall in love with something. I’ll buy something book related maybe twice a month.

How big is your wish list?

My book wish list is a mile long. I have one on Amazon and one on Book Depository. It’s mainly there for my husband, friends, and family members so they know what to get me for my birthday and Christmas.

Which three books from your wish list do you wish to own right now?

I really want to pre-order:

Blood and Honey by Shelby Mahurin (Serpent and Dove, #2)

A Sky Beyond the Storm (An Ember in the Ashes, #4) by Sabaa Tahir

The Lost Book of The White (The Eldest Curses, #2) by Cassandra Clare
