Feature & Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee @ Parajunkee’s View and Alison @ Alison Can Read. Each week the two hosts post a question for Book Bloggers to answer, provide a link-up, and choose a participant to feature on their blogs. If you participate, the point is to follow others and in return gain followers.
Yay for the end of the week and new friends 😀 Early this morning I received an email from Alison @ Alison Can Read informing me that I was the FEATURED BLOGGER this week!!!
I’m excited if you can’t tell 😀 I’ve seen Feature & Follow Friday floating around the blogosphere for some time now and last week I decided to particpate as a part of my New Year, New Me goals. I had no idea I’d be chosen. It’s exciting and I love meeting everyone!! To see my interview questions, head over to Alison’s post.
So on to today’s question: Do you own any doubles of your books? What led to getting that second…or third or fourth…copy? – Suggested by A Great Read.
I’m a bit of a book addict….okay that’s a lie I am a BIG book addict. The only thing that stops me from having a gigantic library full of books is the fact that we live in an apartment and have moved 5 times in 9 years with at least one, possibly 2 more moves on the horizon. So a lot of my books are ebooks, they’re just easier to transport that way 😉
BUT….
I still have a lot of actual physical copies of all my favorite books. (I’m out of town so no pics of my actual library).
7 copies – Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen…not only do I own 4 different ecopy versions (I’m a sucker for pretty covers) but I also have 3 hard copies: one that I’ve read so much the pages are falling out, one that’s just really pretty sitting on my shelf, and the other is a part of the complete Jane Austen collection.
3 copies – The Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer…why, yes I do like my vampires sparkly 😀 I got addicted to this series several years back by a girl I work with. My first set I bought at the local Wally World and read until I got my first Kindle. Then I bought the ecopies. Two years ago, my husband surprised me for Christmas with the pretty special editions and to his surprise when I opened them they were signed!!
This is all that I own actual physical doubles of, however I could continue with the rest of my library. Pretty much if a book is really good, I get it on my Kindle so I have an easy portable version. If the ebook is really good or one I want to read again or (since I’m a cover snob) if the cover is really pretty, I get it for my bookshelf.
What books do you have double or more of?
…or follow any way you chose 😀
Remember this is a blog hop. Be sure to visit the other blogs and give them some love too!
First of all, I love your blog!! Congrats on being featured! I love that you have duplicates of the Twilight books! I do, too! (:

Thank you! My husband was as surprised as I was that they were signed.
Wow. Can’t believe you have 7 COPIES of Pride and Prejudice. That’s just WOW!
Congratulation for your feature!!
New Follower!
Does it make it better that the 4 ebooks were freebies 😀 I didnt realize I had that many either. What can I say?! I LOVE Pride & Prejudice!
Congratulations on being featured! Pride and Prejudice was on the top of my list as well! But I only own three copies so I think you beat me there ahaha. Happy reading (: Followed via BL!

Thank you! I love Pride & Prejudice (thought I’d throw that out there in case it isn’t obvious) 😉 Thanks for the follow!
Congrats on being featured..Loved your blog and you are also participating in COYER so that’s another point common between us, the first being that we are both book lovers. 🙂
Pride and Prejudice and Twilight saga are great choices. I own multiple copies of Twilight. 🙂

Thank you Nikita! COYER is the first reading challenge I’ve participated in as a blogger. I’m loving it!
Congrats on being the featured blogger, I’m definitely hopping through and following you. *g* I think I followed you from the last one. 🙂
Oh wow, that’s a lot of shiny-ness going on with the Twilight series. I just have the one finished set of it. But, I think I have doubles of one of the classics, though I can’t really put my finger on which one it is. I do have some doubles of other’s that were ARC’s and then I ended up buying the finished copy or that I forgot I already had a copy and bought or was gifted another one. lol.
Happy Reading and Hopping! 🙂

I have a lot of doubles on ARCs too, especially the ones I really like.
Congrats on the feature! Those are some really great books to have duplicates of! New Bloglovin’ follower! Here’s my FF! Happy reading!

Thank you! I’m still a little shocked 🙂
Congrats on being featured blogger! I’m new follower via bloglovin.
I am, too, a little bit book addict (okay, a lot) and multiple copies of my favourite books are must. Especially if I get some copy signed then I just have to buy a copy that isn’t because I’m not going to remove the signed one from my shelves (or let anyone else touch it). A little bit obsessive, that’s me 😀

You’re welcome 😀
Seven copies of Pride and Prejudice is totally acceptable. I have two copies of my favorite classic, Little Women, and want to get more! They just always come out with gorgeous versions, what book lover can resist?
Happy FF! Congrats on your feature. New bloglovin follower.
Cassi @ My Thoughts Literally recently posted…Feature and Follow Friday: Owning Multiple Books
My thoughts exactly Cassi! I love Little Women 🙂
I love Jane Austen and found Emma to be one of my favorites in school. Then I switched to Mansfield Park and now I think I just love them all equally. I’ve gotten so much better in storing books and have parted ways with many of them I never thought I would, but after children and lack of space, priorities changed. I love that you have so many copies of Pride and Prejudice and I still hear Meg Ryan explaining Elizabeth Bennet to Tom Hanks in You’ve Got Mail, which makes me smile. She’s a character that’s so dear to so many and has made her mark throughout the years.
Corinna recently posted…Ali & Shawn’s Winery Wedding
I love that scene! There’s a book I just read called My Own Mr. Darcy that is too funny.
Congrats on the feature! I was super excited when I got featured 😀 7 copies sound insane but I know Jane Austen books have really pretty covers 😉

Eileen recently posted…Feature & Follow #27: Multiple Copies of Books?
I can’t resist the covers! At least only three are actually on my book shelf 😉
Congrats on being the featured blogger this week!!! I have a lot of books as e-books as well. Mostly because I already have so many books and we have a small house with 2 kids. I am running out of room. So my guy wants me to mostly get them as e-books. But I do have several as both e-books and physical books.
I think it is pretty awesome that you have 7 copies of P&P! I still haven’t read it but I plan to change that.
I am the exact same way…I love having the physical books, but I love having favorites also on my Kindle so they can go where ever with me.
Great post!

Congratulations on being featured!!! I really like your blog! I get e-books first and then, like you, if I really liked the book, I’ll get the paper book. I’d love to buy for the pretty covers too, but I just don’t have enough shelf space for that. Congrats again and Happy Friday!!

Congrats for being featured ! ^^
I do not like to have more copies of the same book, but I’m a sucker too for pretty covers so I guess I could make some exceptions. Today I saw some amazing versions of the Maze Runner trilogy and I was SO tempted!

I don’t have the space for duplicates – how I wish I did. But, wait! Kindle. I could take my books with me everywhere. Duh, never put that together in my head before.
