This week’s question:
“How/Where do you get your books? Do you buy them or go to the library? Is there a certain website you use like paperbackswap?”
I love a bargain! I often scrounge for books at my local secondhand bookstores or markets in the hope of finding someone else’s pre-loved paperbacks. I must admit I have not been to the local library in a long time but I hope to check it out in the near future. I also save up titles of books on my TBR list for purchases on Amazon or Australian online retailer, Fishpond (free shipping in Aus). There’s a lot of hype about the Book Depository that also has free shipping to Australia so I must check that out soon! I would love to hear where you shop for some new ideas and bargains!
This is my first week with the Feature and Follow Friday, a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee
Q. What do I do when I are not reading?
When I am not reading I am probably doing something less fun like working full-time as a psychologist. Things I enjoy to do other than reading include writing, blogging about books and walking my dog.

Hi Jayne,
Just hopping through from FF.
Have just read the first two chapters of your book. It sounds great!

Hopping through. I like spending non-reading time with my dog too. I’m not very good about walking him unfortunately.
My Hop
Yeah I know what you mean Alison, it’s pretty cold here in Sydney at the moment so my poor dog is suffering from lack of walks.
