Where Do You Get Your Books?

Where do you get the books you read?  Do you check them out from the library at school or your public library?  Do you buy them?  Where do you buy them?

Personally, I like to check out books and books on CD from the library.  Books and books on CD, especially, can be really expensive.  I don't like to buy a book before I read it if I don't think it will be a good book.  If a friend tells me a book is good then I might buy it.  Mostly, I go to the library.  

 

Did you know that Wal-Mart and Target have books?  They usually have a pretty good selection.  Most of the time they have "Bestsellers".  "Bestsellers" are books that have been bought the most in the United States for the week.  If lots of people are buying a book then it's probably a good book.  Sometimes that helps me make a decision to buy a book. 

If you go to www.cicispizza.com you can click on the link there called "Feed Your Brain".  This is a cook summer reading program like the libraries have.  When you go to Cici's you can get a card where you log, or write down, how much you read.  Then, you take it in to Cici's and you can choose two prizes:

1. A free buffet for you when your mom or dad buys a buffet.

OR

2. A $3 giftcard for Half Price Books, a bookstore.

I love free pizza!  You could also read a lot all summer and then save up your $3 gift cards to buy a book...or books even!
