Fabrics and books for me! I often look through the local charity shops for books....the same when the Library has a sale on. Car boot sales, Fetes, anywhere that is likely to sell books. Sadly though, many books in these places are badly damaged and not worth spending the 25p on them!

I use the Library a lot and if I like a book, I'll buy it from Waterstone's or Amazon. With travelling so much and losing books when moving, I've kept my book collection down to a minimum. Once I settle down somewhere that I know will be permanent, then I'll re-start my book collection again.
