4 bought books for this time period, but none borrowed. Still heavy on the review copies, but that's not surprising as I try to read my serious backlog of requested and accepted books.
Where are most of your books coming from these days? Any changes to your procurement habits as of late?

hey, I say good for you getting through those ARCs!
I'm with you! I'm working through the ARCs and review copies, so there are few borrowed and bought books being reviewed.
I love seeing where you get all your books from. Don't ask me why, but I find it fascinating.
Hmm of the books I reviewed recently:
2 bought
1 received from author who offered signed copy
1 requested from published
I still have to read Day of the Pelican...it's been sitting on my pile for so long!
Hi Lenore, I've read that FTC clarified that their guideline does not include book bloggers...
Here's the link: http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA6702752.html?nid=3336
The whole article is trying to convey that FTC’s guidelines are not aimed at individual bloggers.
I really need to concentrate on ARCs... winter reading ahead....
Public library, nearly always. Sometimes if I have liked the author in the past, I'll buy a new one for the library before reading it, but rarely. Hardly ever buy books for myself.Get a very few ARCs--- they are just too much work.
