I like to buy my books in general. Especially if it's a really good book that I've been waiting for. If there's a book I want to read but not interested in keepin it usually get it from the library. But I don't buy books I've read. Oh! One series I've been trying to collect and have actually completed is the series of unfortunate events. I refuse to buy it full price so I go to used bookstores or thrift shops to find them for like $2 each. Way cheaper than buying it full price!
I collect the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys Super Mysteries :D Also, I collect an old mystery series called Trixie Belden. I buy books I'm looking forward to in general... If I want to read it, but don't care about owning it, than yeah.. I go to the library. I do buy books that I've already read, but only if I loved it/them. I also just love going to used books stores to find books. It's just fun finding good deals :)

So far out of the SMs I only have 7. Lol really small amount, but I'm always keeping an eye out for them. They're really hard to find haha - I have A Crime for Christmas, The Paris Connection, New Year's Evil, Passport to Danger, Double Crossing, Dangerous Games and Danger Down Under.
I know there are are like 4 or 5 'new' ones. I've read them, but don't own them.
How many ND / HB books do you own?

Ooh... That hard because they're both so good! But... Yeah, I agree with you. I like HB a tad more for the same reasons and Joe is so funny :p
Wow.... It's actually been quite awhile since I've read a ND or HB book. I definitely want to go read one right now!
Do you ship Nancy and Frank? :p
I know Nancy is with Ned, buuuuut if they weren't....

Hmm... actually I prefer Nancy to be with Ned because when she's with Frank, I feel jealous of her. Have to admit it kind a makes me hate her when she's with Frank. Lol. :p
