Private dealers, second hand or charity shops, second hand bookshops, independent 'new or remaindered' bookstores, large chain bookstores, online bookshops? Secondhand bookstores since mine is haha.

2. Where do you leave your books when you are not reading them? My backpack, on a table, on my shelf..
3. How many piles of books (unshelved) are there in your home? Are they organised in any particular way? At least two haha
4. Are you a member of, or do you use, any reading or book related websites or online communities? If so, how many? What is the one you most often visit? Why? Does buying books from Amazon count?
5. Off the internet, are you a member of, or do you use, any reading or book related facilities, libraries, clubs or communities? What is the one you most often visit? Why? I work at a bookstore..
6. Do you borrow books? Do you lend them? I just lent one to Brenda haha..she said she'd mail it back to me :P
7. When you finish a book, what do you do with it afterwards? (i.e. shelve, review, add to a challenge list, recommend to someone, reread, sell on, lend) Put it on the shelf..maybe donate it to the bookstore..recommend to people..
8. How often - if at all - do you cull your shelves for space? What do you do with the ones you take out? At times
9. What happens to the grubbiest, most falling apart books that no longer look good on your shelves? Are you a thrower or a keeper? I don't throw away books! *gasp*
