I’m a HPB addict. I love that bookstore and now I even live not a mile away from one. It’s dangerous!

I take my wishlist with me wherever I go, but sadly I never use it because I’m a terrible impulse book buyer

Hmmm, I actually did write something for your Far World contest, but I’m debating on whether or not to send it to you.

We have a couple of Half Price Books here in Phoenix, and I’ve been studiously denying their existence. The only thing keeping me from filing bankruptcy when I go “booking” is my Palm. I have all my NTR (Need To Read) lists in it by genre, and I make myself focus on the books in those lists exclusively. If I start to browse, I’m sunk! LOL

Right – I totally forgot about used bookstores! There’s a half-priced bookstore called Book-a-holic that I love in Wichita. They actually have three locations now and I always come out with a book or two (or more…)

No Half Price Books near me, either. Wish there was because so many people love it! Although I don’t really need another way to add to my TBR pile. I usually only take a list if I’m looking for specifics. I prefer to just browse and often when I see certain books I remember that they were recommended. I’m not very good at keeping an actual wishlist.

Sadly, there is no Half Price books near me. And it’s too bad the local stores don’t have events. I’m lucky that my favorite store sponsors book clubs and parties and booksignings and all sorts of things.

Yea for Half Price Books! They are the best, aren’t they? I can spend hours in there. And I really like the staff at my location, too – you can tell that they are actually readers. It’s a great place!
