Which type of book buyer are you?! You can be more than one, or all of them, or none!
Emotional: You buy books based upon how you are feeling at the time and what’s going on in your life, so you’re a ‘mood buyer’ as well as mood reader.
Organised: Your TBR list is your shopping list, you know exactly what you want to add to your shelves and you plan to get the next books in a series.
Thrifty: You love nothing more than bargain books from the charity shop and online stores; you also love free books wherever you can get them, from legal sources.
Visual: You’re a cover lover who buys books based on how attractive they are, with fantastic artwork, sprayed edges and brilliant graphic design.
Impulse: Books aren’t on the shopping list, but somehow they fall into your basket and you come home with a stack of new reads to cram into your shelves!
Status: Acquiring books for how they’ll look on your shelves and what their presence says about your personality, although you might not actually read them.
Ethical: You support independent writers, publishers and retailers; moreover it’s important to you that the ethics of your chosen vendors align with yours.
Obsessive: Buying books is your number one interest and your house and/or e-reader is filled with books you haven’t read yet, but you keep buying more.
Omnivorous: You’ll buy any kind of book, regardless of format, author or genre, because you like all sorts of random things and love the act of reading.
Desperate: The worry about running out of books to read, despite having plenty already, or access to a library, means that you panic-buy books to avoid this crisis.
