Cool break down. I've bought a LOT of books, recently, due to Borders closing, my annual library book sales and a bunch of traveling.
ReplyDeleteI looked because I was curious. So far this year it looks like slightly more than half of my books are review copies, the rest bought.
ReplyDeleteI don't buy much during the summer because I have a lot of good reads from BEA but I still spend plenty of money on books.
