I love to read. I’m known to curl up with a good book and a cup of coffee and not get off of the couch until the book is finished.  I also usually bring a book along when I go on a trip. I can’t afford to buy new books as often as I find ones that I’d like to read so I try to find ways to save money when I buy books. My Mom’s a big reader so sometimes we share books. I see listings for free books frequently on Freecycle. You can join groups that swap books, either in your area or online. You can buy books inexpensively such as Craigs List. Another alternative is to find a used book store. The one near my house carries all sorts of books including fiction, non-fiction, reference and Christian books. Mom and I have traded old books in for credit towards new ones many times. It saved us lots of money. Where do you buy your books?
