I’ve talked about Walmart and Amazon. Now, it’s time to look at all the other places that I buy books — namely Books-A-Million, Barnes & Noble, and eHarlequin.

My book buying at BAM and B&N is pretty much the same. These are the places where I buy the mass market paperbacks that I’m interested in, mainly because I have a 10 percent discount card at BAM and get e-mail coupons for the same amount from B&N. So whatever store I’m in that day gets my business.

As you’ve probably guessed by now, I like coupons and discounts and deals. My mama taught me never to settle for buying something at full price unless you absolutely have to.

That’s one of the reasons that I love eHarlequin so much. The site has some really great deals practically every week –things like free shipping, buy two books, get one free, etc. If you read romance, you should definitely check out eHarlequin. Most of the time, I can get three paperbacks there for around $16-$17, which I think is a pretty awesome bargain.

And I’ll admit it — I also buy books at my local used bookstore. Every two months or so, I’ll sack up all the books that I’ve read, trade them in for store credit, and come home with half a dozen new books to read. Yeah, I know that authors don’t get royalties on sales from used bookstores, but if I read something, I feature it here on the blog, so I figure that it all evens out in the end.

What about you guys? Where do you like to buy books and why? Share in the comments.
