I’ve taken to using booko.com.au to find the best price. Mostly it is Book Depository – who have excellent customer service by the way.

Call me ‘Pollyanna’ …I love Anne of Green Gables series -though haven’t read it in years.

I read whatever comes to me by chance in the quick pics on the trolley at the library I find heaps of good reads …

I have a million favourite ‘old’ books, but Judy Blume’s Summer Sisters is the one that springs to mind. Typical trashy coming of age story.

Quick comment on the shops you’ve listed above – have used both and find Book Depository is generally much quicker. Fishpond orders have taken up to 4 weeks to get to me (for ones that claim dispatch in 2-4 days), whereas Book Depository have gotten them to me (from the UK to Oz) in 4 working days (order on a Thursday, receive Tuesday / Wednesday, at worst Thursday). I TRY and buy Aussie, so if the prices are similar and I’m in no rush for the book I’ll Fishpond it, otherwise the Depository wins out every time :)

Love books too, when I am in the mood, often read them in one sitting.

I like using http http://www.booko.com.au for finding the cheapest place to buy your books, Big W online is a great one.
