The process of choosing a book...

We all know that choosing a book can be hard, as book nerds we have so many books to chose from! 
Let us be choosing a book from the library, to choosing a book to buy, or even to choosing our next book to read! Choosing a book is not easy! 
So read on to find out the many different things that run through a book nerds head as they are trying to CHOOSE A BOOK!...

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

There are so many beautiful books out there, with beautiful covers, plots and authors! Which means that there are so many books I NEED to read and buy! My friend and I have actually planned to got book shopping these holidays - we are basically just going to go to my favorite two-story Dymocks and basically buy hundreds of books!
Anyway, back to a book worms thoughts when trying to choose a book!

1. What genre... YA? Contemporary? What about good old supernatural?... Probably the most important part of choosing a book too read! My default is always a mystical YA book, because I just LOVE YA and supernatural! 
2. Now I have decided on a genre, do I want to read a book that is apart of a series or a stand alone? This is actually a huge thing to decide! For me, if I start a series I want to binge read it or I feel really bad... The source of me sadness is that I have a reasonably bad memory and I normally forget what happens... And to be honest,, I have so many book I NEED to read and don't have time to reread a series. (Unless it is a series I adore! Because I always have tie to reread them!)
3. Next, where will I get this book from? Because there is always the library, the fantastic place where you can get FREE BOOKS! But, if you are anything like me, you understand the issue I have about wanting to own the books that you read. Like, I love the idea of not paying for my books, but I love having the books on my shelf even more... The other thing is just going to your TBR shelf (or in my case - pile) and pick up and book and tada! There is your new read! Or... you could make like most of the book community and go out and buy ten new books for every one book you finish... To be honest, that is probably what I am going to do...
4. What type of book... Want vs. Need! As a book blogger, I am lucky enough to be sent books to review by authors and publishers, and because of this I kind of need to review these books for the amazing people who sent them to me (plus I actually LOVE all of the books that I am sent). And then there are the books that I have bought myself and these books are usually the books that is ABSOLUTELY ADORE and cannot wait to read!

  1. omg choosing a book is so HARD sometimes. XD I think it can be the hardest part of reading tbh. hehe. I basically always research books copiously before I buy them because I hate wasting money on subpar books, buuuut, I get like ANY book out from the library. I'll get it because it just has a cool title or interesting cover, hehehe. and YES. ARCs and review-copies mostly take priority for me too! I'm super grateful to get them and I try to review them on time...although I'm mega behind right now. ah well. Bookworm problems, amirite?!
    Yay for a relaxing holiday! :D

    Thanks for stopping by @ Paper Fury!
