I got this tag from Caffeinated Fae & you can see her post here.
So hi everybody I'm Kym, I'm 30 years old & I have a book problem...
1. What do you like about buying new books?
I love just the anticipation of having a new story to read & sometimes a new favourite author to discover.
2. How often do you buy new books?
I used to buy new books pretty much every day, though most of them were free on my Kindle. Not bought any (for myself ) anyway this year as I've put myself on a book buying ban until I've read some of more already substantial TBR.
3. Bookstore or online book shopping: which do you prefer?
If I'm up town then I like going in & browsing the books for the smell etc & maybe buying a few. But truthfully buy most of my books online for the convenience of shopping in my PJ's & having it shipped right to my door.
4. Do you have a favorite bookshop?
I love my local Waterstones, the ambience & the staff are brilliant. It also helps that I was in there that often at one point they were getting to recognise me as one of their regulars.
5. Do you pre-order books?
Yes if it's a book I've been anticipating by an author I know or part of a series I already own. Can also get some good deals with the pre-orders as well.
6. Do you have a monthly buying limit?
Yeah I tend not to want to spend any more than £40 a month including my book subscription box. Which is going very well this year as I have not bought a single book outside my book box & have even moved to a cheaper yet still worth the money book box so saving a wee bit more.
7. How big is your wish list?
Well didn't think it was that big until I just counted. I currently have 112 books on my wish list, though many of them I already own in Kindle form I just enjoyed them that much I want the physical copy now, or they are part of series that I already own.
8. Which three books from your wish list do you wish to own right now?
- The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black - so I can finally read the full series.
- Days of Blood & Starlight by Laini Taylor - again so can finally read the series as I own the other two.
- Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi - purely because the cover is gorgeous!

Cool tag. I love visiting bookstores, and I buy books when I’m in them, but buying online is so much easier. I can get a book and don’t have to put on pants.

Exactly there's nothing better to me than getting to go shopping without all the faff of having to get dressed, especially with 2 kids!
