I was a reader long before I was a writer, so however you get your hands on books is fine! I suppose I prefer libraries to second hand shops, which can still be expensive, and libraries benefit a) everyone and b) the writer! Thanks so much for dropping me a line, J xxx Hello!

I always feel slightly guilty when buying books second hand/getting them out of the library instead of buying them (except for John Grisham since I'm sure he has enough money by now). In preserving trees/resources etc it does make sense to buy second hand/get them from the library. I do always buy your books - but then I pass them on to my sister - so I guess in that way I am loosing you a sale! I fell in love with your books when I first read Looking for Andrew McCarthey (we were in London and it was plastered in all the tube stations). Looking forward to your next one.
