Bookstore Trip

I should not be let loose in a bookstore...really I should not. I went out to Borders yesterday to grab two books the [livejournal.com profile] emocezi  recommended to me. And since I had two coupons I wanted to use them...um 80 some dollars later I walked out.

On the plus side? I saved almost 28 dollars...but seriously...do not let me go into a bookstore people. I wasn't supposed to go until I finished Writo de Mayo.

Oh image heavy below the cut...I wanted to share the covers with y'all.

So anyway, the books I got:


First the two [livejournal.com profile] emocezi  recc'ed to me:

Generation Kill by Evan Wright


Night Stalkers by Michael J. Durant and Steven Hartov



And then I started wandering:

River Marked by Patricia Briggs


The Native Star by M.K. Hobson


Green-Eyed Demon by Jaye Wells (this is book 3 of a series--I have the other two and have almost finished them)


Horse Soldiers by Doug Stanton (this was my steal--it was on the bargain rack for 2.99)


Write Starts by Hal Zina Bennett


Plot vs Character by Jeff Gerke



*sighs* And now I need to go get dressed and go shopping again since I didn't get everything done yesterday.

That plastic thing would drive me nuts! Generally I read the back cover and a bit inside before I buy something. I've been burned too many times not to want to sample.

LOL I have the same problem. And I read a lot of the same genre so I often get the same issue.

I haven't used it yet...I got home at like 11pm and then I was up until 2:30 but so tired that I didn't want to write or do anything else. I'll probably skim through it over the next few days and maybe post some of the ones I like. Or even use a couple for my Writo de Mayo days.

How are you doing?
