Welcome to the Printed Books Giveaway Hop here on Brooke Blogs! I’m so glad you stopped by. The Printed Books Giveaway Hop is just what it sounds like…everyone participating in the hop is giving away an actual, hold-in-your-hands, smell the pages (if you’re odd like me) printed book! And to take the theme of this hop one step further, I am going to be giving away a book set in a bookstore. 
I am going to give away a paperback copy of Murder is Binding (Booktown Mystery #1) by Lorna Barrett. This giveaway is open internationally, as long as The Book Depository ships to you! Read on for a description of the book, and then use the Rafflecopter below to enter. Good Luck!!
The streets of Stoneham, New Hampshire are lined with bookstores…and paved with murder.
Stoneham, New Hampshire, was a dying town until community leaders invited booksellers to open shop. Now, its streets are lined with bookstores – and paved with murder…
When she moved to Stoneham, city-slicker Tricia Miles was met with friendly faces. And when she opened her mystery bookstore, she met with friendly competition. But when she finds Doris Gleason dead in her own cookbook store, killed by a carving knife, the atmosphere seems more cutthroat than cordial. Someone wanted to get their hands on the rare cookbook that Doris had recently purchased – and the locals think that someone is Tricia. To clear her name, Tricia will have to take a page out of one of her own mysteries – and hunt down someone who isn’t killing by the book…
Now, follow the hop and enter to win some more great books in the Printed Books Giveaway Hop!
I still like print books, but prefer ebooks now because they’re more portable.

I agree. With e-books, I don’t have to worry about being away from home, finishing a book, and having nothing to read lol.

I definitely prefer print books. I like feeling them in my hand and seeing them pile up as I finish them. It gives a big sense of accomplishment.

Very true, Meghan! There’s just something about seeing my bookshelves overflowing!

I love both! I read more ebooks becuase they are more comfortable, but i need fisic copies of my favourite books in my bookshelf.
I have done that too, Meli…have both the ebook version and the physical copies of my absolute favs.

Printed books as I have no access or means to read books in another format.

There’s nothing wrong with that!
I also think it’s easier to look back in a printed book if you need to!

I definitely prefer printed books. I love being able to hand a book I adored over to a friend!

Ah, that is a nice benefit of printed books.
Brooke recently posted..The Spy Lover Book Blast and Giveaway
Printed = the smell and feel of adventure.
Electronic = burning eyes and a cramping scroll finger. Not to mention words that can be taken away if Amazon so pleases.
Books happily collect dust until I wish to read them again, and again, and again.

Love your description of printed books!
Brooke recently posted..The Spy Lover Book Blast and Giveaway
I prefer printed because I love sharing books I love with friends. I read faster while reading an ebook though.
Thank you for the giveaway
I think I read ebooks faster, too!
You’re welcome!

There is something special about the feel of a book in your hands.

I like printed books because they seem easier on my eyes.
I agree! If I am reading an ebook, I usually turn down the brightness, and increase the font size.
Brooke recently posted..The Spy Lover Book Blast and Giveaway
I love printed books, the feel, the weight, easier on the eyes. Thanks for the giveaway.

I prefer print books. I love the way they look in my bookcase. I love to pick them up and decide which one I’ll read again. I like the feel of a book in my hands.

I prefer printed, but with two kids I get more reading done electronically.
I prefer printed books. Ebooks are good for travel but they can’t replace the awesomeness of the printed word.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
I prefer printed books
I always prefer printed books! the different papers, the covers, the smells, the feels… I read ebooks, but I don’t love them.

I prefer physical copies of books because I love having them sitting on my shelf.
Rebecca recently posted..January Wrap-Up
I love both printed and ebooks. Either one works for me, except when it comes to favorite books, then I need to have a copy to show off my shelf.

printed, thanks.
I love print books. I love the smell of books.
Anne C recently posted..A Few Middle Grade Books
I like both for different reasons. There is nothing that compare to the feel and scent of a print book in your hands. Plus I love to thumb through a book to reread my favorite scenes. But with ebooks, you can literally have your entire library in the palm of your hands. Ebooks also give you the privacy to read anything anytime.
I prefer printed books because I love the feeling you get when you hold a book in your hands.
I like seeing the different spines in my bookshelves too.
i prefer printed book, i like to smell them and fell them, i dont know, but its harder for me to read from a tablet or computer, too much bright!
thanks
I know what you mean! When I read on my Kindle Fire HD, I turn down the brightness and set the screen to sepia tone.
Brooke recently posted..{Promo} The Exemeus
The Nook is convenient, but it can’t compare to holding a book in my hands. Besides, some of my happiest hours have been spent in bookstores!
I love both, but I’m preferring ebooks right now because it’s easier to buy them (just one click!). It’s difficult to find all the books I want in my local library.

I love both, but printed books are still my favourite

PRINT! The smell, the feel, and also because I don’t have an e-reader and my eyes can’t take hours in front of the screen!
Thanks!

Printed!!!! I like ebooks, but I love holding a real book too much!

I like both but I read a lot more ebooks because I can have a lot more of them with me at all times.
Definitely printed, ebooks I can only read for so long until i wind up with a splitting headache.
Print books 100%!
Strongly prefer printed books. For one thing, the flight attendant never makes me close my book when we’re landing …
Print books
I prefer prints to ebooks. Thanks for the Giveaway!
I’m old school; I prefer printed books. Thanks!
printed all the way!!!
I love reading on my Kindle, but I might like physical books more. I like displaying books that I love on my bookshelf or pass them onto friends or swap afterwards. <3

I prefer printed books! Thanks for this amazing giveaway – I would love to win!
I have a Kindle and like ebooks, but it’s just not the same as the feel of a paperback in my hands.
Definitely print! Something about holding a real book…
i like ebooks for traveling but print at home
I like printed better.
I definitely prefer print books.
Combo, it depends…
Love my paperbound books. Nothing like turning pages, holding a real book. Can get cheaper books on sale, @ second-hand bookstore-as well as older books there too- & nothing beats $1 hardback or $0.50 paperback books at Goodwill or Salvation Army stores.
But I’m running out of room in my house, so ebooks are great. Love how easy it is to put my kindle in my purse & have several books in one small space. Many ebooks are cheaper than their paperbound versions. (But the famous authors often cost full price. Would love to have that explained to me.)
The one thing better than second-hand bookstore- FREE books!! Either publisher specials or things like amazon deals where first released books are free are just great. I won’t even admit to how many of those I have on my kindle account, lol.
So I will never be all one type of reader…
Printed books – nothing beats the feel of a book in my hands.
Printed books. much more “real”, at least they feel more tangible.
E-books are my preference for reading and reviewing since they take up less space and are fairly inexpensive. There is something special about print books, however.
