Not surprising at all that most of them came from the library.
70% came from the library
30% I purchased (20% from Barnes and Noble, 10% from Book Depository)
Pretty simple and cut and dry. Of course, the books purchased percentage is just off the last 20 books I read. I have bookshelves full of books I've bought and not read...I'll be doing something about that next year.
One thing I did find of interest is that ever since I paid for a membership in Barnes and Nobles rewards program last Christmas I have purchased most of my books from them. Before then I rarely shopped at Barnes and Noble...

I looked at this meme but thought there was little point in my filling it out as the only books I buy are those that are 'essential' reading for my course. I know I'm not going to be able to get them from the library and anyway I often want to make notes in them as I read. As an impoverished pensioner cum student everything else has to come form the library.
I thought this was interesting. Of my last 20 books, 10 were my own, 9 were from the library, and 1 was won in a blog give-away. I don't receive any ARC's.
This is a curious meme. Most books I read come from the library but I have won a couple in blog give-aways in the last couple of months, and I did purchased several on our road trip.
I played this game too! It was interesting to see, huh?? I saw your blog over at Gerbera Daisy Mom - I like it!!
