Just for Thought (5)

How do you pick what to buy?

Last week we talked about that gnawing need to go buy books, even through you have plenty at home to keep you reading.  This week I'm curious how you pick the book to buy from that miles long WANT list.  Which ones do I buy now and which ones do I wait on?

I'm not sure how I do it.  I think in part it's what the store has on it's shelves as compared to what's on my want list.  That and for some reason I have books that just call to me.  You know, those ones you see and just can't quit thinking about no matter what books you read.  These are the ones that are destine to be in my presence. ;D  But I am to own and enjoy.

I've found I've had a lot of the 'destine' books as of late.  And they have been amazing reads too!  I love when this happens.  But these destine books have been ones I've had to order off line because the local Express book store doesn't carry them.  But I usually have a book in mind that has been calling to me for a while and if the store has it I pick it up, and sometimes even additional books grab my attention while there. ;)

So how is it you pick which books you are going to buy over all the ones on the WANT list?
