TGIF (5)

TGIF is a weekly feature hosted by GReads! that has a different question each week.

This Friday's Question: Buy or Borrow: Where do your books that you read come from? The bookstore? The library? Do you prefer to own a book, or have it on loan?
 
 
Most of the books I read come from the either Books-A-Million or Amazon. I also get quite a few books from Netgalley and authors. And, of course, I take full advantage of my public library.
Honestly, I like to own books rather than just have them on loan. This because when I really love a book, I just have to own my own copy. It's an addiction.  :))

    I feel the same way, if I love a book, I need to own a copy but I do love borrowing from the library as it saves me money and if I don't love a book then at least I get to return it ;)

Book Blitz: Of Silver and Beasts by Trisha Wolfe (Excerpt + Giveaway)

Image
***Excerpt*** “What’s your rank, baby blue eyes?” the guy asks, pushing off his cot and stalking toward the prince. Everything in me screams to act, but I don’t want to declare alliances this early on. Not without understanding the dynamic of placements and bonds already formed among these people. But I’ll not let this hulk of a man harm the prince. I brace my heel against the wall, ready to push off and lunge. Prince Caben rises to his feet, slowly turning to face him. He straightens his spine, squaring his shoulders. “I don’t have one. And my name is Payne. Not ‘baby blue eyes’, meathead.” Big guy laughs, his husky voice bounces off the rock walls. “I’m Crew”—he beats his chest hard once, like a barbarian—“and I’ve won three fights. I’ll win the next two and be the one awarded the freedom ring.” He leans down toward Prince Caben, leveling their faces. “So don’t even think about you or your princess over there walking out of here. I’m ranked as a Colossal. The strongest Colossal in B...
