shanachie_quillI 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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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 twoemocezi 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.

8/5/11 19:04 (UTC)Hee! My addiction is half on account of the fact that my Dad gives me a pretty generous amount of spending money. Since uni is really cheap and I don't really go out that much, guess where it all goes? Plus India now has online book shopping. /groans/ Not that I've had time to read any of the damn things... /headdesk/ Good thing summer is almost upon us...
/glomps back/ Hello! Me too! I haven't been on eljay much myself, RL has eaten me these past few weeks... how goes it?

8/5/11 19:10 (UTC)*nods* That's nice that he does that. I wish our uni was cheap so I could go back. I miss learning. Although I suppose I could just pick a subject and learn on my own.
Yeah, I don't go out much either...which is why my reading has spiked up.
It goes. I'm not working or well not teaching. They downsized all the schools in the state and pretty much every teacher that had less that three years in their current district lost their jobs. And there's no new ones. So I'm taking care of my gramma. She needed someone and I was available and we'd rather have family than a stranger. It's good days and bad days. She's there mentally--just has some health issues so can't cook and clean (or drive) but she's been getting really cranky lately which is a stresser on both of us. And there are some other family issues. So I can't really complain cause it's a whole lot easier than teaching but it's also 24/7 sometimes without a break...other than that, I'm writing and reading and just trying to stay afloat. :-)

8/5/11 19:23 (UTC)I'm actually really lucky, because my uni was set up to be affordable to anyone who wanted an education. Like, my room rent for an entire semester? Is fifty bucks. In comparison, a hot chocolate at my favourite coffee shop costs eighty. On the flip side, I've been so damn busy the past two years that I just haven't had /time/ to read.
/hugs you/ Wow. You have both my sympathy and my respect. I love my grandmom but I cannot spend more than half an hour in the same room as her without wanting to reach either for alcohol or tranquilizers. And here's hoping for a quick end to family issues AND you getting a nice new job soon. /crosses fingers/
