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.

Lol! I was going to say the same. The worse is in a book exhibit, when you have pretty signatures from the authors (I'm reduced to a stuttering mess when I see Harlan Coben). And when I find a shop with perfect books very cheap, I can't control myself :p. On Amazon I bought the Shadow of the Wind for 1 cent. The book was in perfect shape with just a mark, if you dunno it's here, you don't notice it.

My mom's a librarian so I'm always getting random signatures from authors no one has ever heard of (including me) but I do have a signed copy of Mr. Murder by Dean Koontz...even have a short note from him. *makes a mental note to figure out what box that book is in* I was not lucky enough to meet him though. We got it through a friend.

Duuude and I thought my 2.99 was a steal. Awesome!

Exhibits are bad enough, but the worst ones? Library book sales. The British Council has one every so often where they sell off books that have been taken out of circulation. And it's not just that the prices are ridiculously low but that these are books you aren't going to find anywhere else. Pure, a-grade crack. And it doesn't help that a book's condition doesn't really bother me so long as it's readable.

Oh god, now I want to go book-shopping. /hides/

Oh man, yes, the library book sales. And at least here? The money goes to the libraries...so really...why wouldn't you buy books?

I'm sowwy. I didn't mean to make you want to go shopping.
