how many books?
i kind of wish that before booklender folded up (i canceled before that date) i had copied the list of books i had gotten from them, just to see how many that was. i did the 2-per order thing since 2010 & got 30-40 books a year, so that's anywhere from 420 to 560. but the problem is that when they dropped a title because they couldn't get new (or better that what they had) copies, that title was also removed from your list of books that you had gotten.
and that estimated number is not a representative number of the books i read during those years. that "2-per order" think was supposed to supplement a person's book consumption (if that's the right word) per month.
the best way to show this is the year i kept track of what book i read. that year it was 66 books (on the very high end for me), but it's hard to recall what were bought (all used) & what was rented from booklender.
i know the historian was bought used, and the HP rereads i had bought years before. i know all of the sg-1 novels were from booklender, as was the bond novels & most of the people of the.... books.
however, for the past 8-9 years I had gotten all of my books from them as i don't go to thrift shops look for books any more.
