Hello, I've only recently bought books at a brick-and-mortar store late last year (2023).

I've replaced our entire collection of Harry Potter books as the original ones bought as they came out had been water damaged. As well, I picked up a new Tarot Deck and book for myself and one for daughter.

It's a new store in our local shopping centre called "The Works".

For a while, I'd exchange with other author friends. After the closure of Google Plus online platform, it's been difficult to find authors who'd want to do this, these days.

I'm no longer a fan of these sites has they've become weird with new rules and discussions that are of no interest these days.

I buy nonresident library cards & get ebooks. Whenever a review of a promising book appears, I add it to my wait list. Can take weeks or months for some titles.

These days I mainly use my kindle. In the past I frequented used book store (e.g. half price books), flea markets, yard sales and a few small stores around this area that kept a supply of used books on hand. :)
