| I really enjoy reading 
I ticked all except 4. & 6.
Although I normally only buy new when I receive gift vouchers to a bookstore which is kind of like #4. 
I would prefer the voucher to a new book as another person may not know my preference in books

| I love reading also! I either borrow from the library, or buy preloved from the library used book sale, fleamarket, Goodwill or used book store. Twice a year we cash in our change jar for "fun day". We love going to a book/music store and I usually buy at least one cd and a new book.

| I found out my library has "quotas" to meet every month. Well, I keep their quotas high. :-)
I am obsessive about stuff - and when I get an idea in my head, I start looking at the library website and find books in that topic and start putting them on hold - pick them up when they are ready.
Right now - it is "Your Money or Your Life," and "Home Winemaking." Todd and I love wine - and are on our last two bottles from when we made a batch for our 1 year anniversary last December - so we are looking to make our own at home now. It may be cheaper in the long run. I am checking it out.

| I usually get mine from the library but have known to get them off half.com ebay.com and since I homeschool Barnes and Nobles gives 20% off so when I go I scour the clearance racks because they give 20% off those also!
