Follow Friday {79} Before blogging how would you find out about new books or did you?

Question this week from Parajunkee and Allison Can Read.
How does this work? You follow a blog, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you!


Q: Before blogging (dark times people!) how would you find out about new books or did you?

A: Well I had the best job ever!! I worked as a supervisor for Borders Books and Music when it was the place to hang out, much like many of the big chains in the book world, it eventually closed. But I spent 5 awesome years recommending and finding all my books by opening up boxes and seeing all the titles coming into the store. As I said best job ever!

What about you?

  1. Hopping through. I worked at B&N and loved it. It is still sad to see Borders gone.

  2. Ugh that does sound like a perfect job! I'm hoping to maybe find a job in a bookstore this year because I love being surrounded by books all day! I'm following on Bloglovin'! Thanks for sharing :) I hope you have a great weekend!

  3. Wow! That is a great job! I would love that! I used to go to the library to get recommendations and I went to Borders and/or Barnes and Noble and got stacks of books to look through while I had some coffee. I spent hours at the bookstore. I really wish Borders hadn't gone out of business. I always liked them better than Barnes and Noble. :-) New bloglovin' follower.

  4. Oh that would be the perfect job! I spent so long in my local bookshops, but they didn't stock nearly as many books I wanted to read as the bigger chains. Have a great weekend!

  6. Can I say, you had the coolest job ever!I can't understand why Borders couldn't compete, B&N can't hold a torch to them....Or at least in my opinion they couldn't. They had like the best rewards system!
