Look at how much this place has grown!

I know it is a smaller community, but it feels nice to be able to comment and actually be(e) seen instead of instantly buried. No more are the times of having a fully typed out comment, only to delete it thinking no one is going to see it. Just based on that fact alone I am loving it, and have recommended it to a few of my friends.

How do you usually get new books to read?

Either Library Genesis for ebooks, or thriftbooks.com. Also some local used book stores, like Half Price Books (not sure if they are everywhere?)

Thrift Books is nice because you can choose the edition you want, if they have it available. Also you might get nice surprises occationally. I ordered Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons and ended up getting an autographed copy. You can also earn credits for free books, and it's free shipping on orders over $25(?), so I usually order 4-5 at a time. (Not an ad, I just really like thriftbooks lol)

how long is your To Read list, Beehaw?

I find if I plan too far ahead I start to get distracted with what I'm currently reading. If I see an interesting book, I might make a note of it, but I think maybe 10 books ahead, let myself catch up, and then pick some new ones.

I do have to stop myself from weekly half price trips though.
