2014 September Book Photo Challenge: Day 8 - 22

Sept.8 - Book and Chocolate

Sept.9 - Hardback or Paperback?

this is hard I like paperback but I'm starting to love hardback. Paperback is cheap and easy to carry around. Hardback are pretty and sometimes when you take off the dust jacket, there is a surprise underneath. I do own a pretty good amount of hardcovers, from giveaways, buying used or bargain books and sometimes new. Also I like certain books in paperback and in hardcover.
