Quick Reader Poll!

Lately I've found myself curious about reading formats...hardcover versus paperback versus digital versus audio. All of which I embrace! I find myself watching people in airports and coffee shops, reading dialogues here on the internet, and taking mental notes.

My secondary interest is WHERE the book came from. An on-line store? A brick-and-mortar store? A library? A friend? A gift? Other?



So I thought it might be fun for us take a quick poll through our comments. Feel free to list the name of the book you are reading and the author, if you want, but specifically tell us:

--the book's format

and

--how/where you got it!

I will go first...read down in the comments!

The book I am reading came from an on-line bookstore, pre-ordered, and it's paperback!

I have two. One, Blue Skies Tomorrow by Sarah Sundin, is a paperback ARC that came from the publisher. The other, Unashamed by Francine Rivers, is a hard cover from the library.

I usually only listen to audio books on long drives. I've only read one book electronically, and whether a book is hardback or paperback makes no difference to me. :)

Rachel--An advanced reader copy from a publisher! (head thunk) I should have included that in my list...thank you so much!

One of the books I am (re)reading is I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have To Kill You by Ally Carter. I bought in the store (I think at Barnes and Noble, if you want me to be that specific), and it's paperback. Another book I'm also rereading is Ghost Huntress: The Discovery by Marley Gibson. It is paperback and I bought it in the store at either Barnes and Noble or Borders- I can't remember. The third book I'm reading is Everlasting by Alyson Noel from the Immortals series. It's the last in the series, I bought it online from Barnes and Noble's website. It's hardcover.

The book I just finished, Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes by Jonathan Auxier, is in hardcover and was purchased at Barnes & Noble. I'll take a book in any form, really. If I especially want a book, I'll get it in hardcover if that's the only form I can get it.

I'm reading Bloodlines on my Kindle. Pre-ordered it so I'd get it 12:10 am on the day it got released.

I bought Ms. Peregrine's home for peculiar children at B&N bricks and mortar store because I figured the pictures were better in an actual printed book.
