So, Will thinks I have a bit of a problem. With buying books. I normally can resist the urge for the most part but when the books are majorly discounted it is a bit hard. I find it very sad that a bookstore is going out of business (yeah you Borders) even if I am a pretty loyal fan of Barnes and Noble. I would much rather that a clothing store or electronic store go under (we have so much more of those around). I understand the allure of online purchases in general but not for a bookstore. At least for me. Part of the experience is going into the bookstore. I just love it! But I am also a tad obsessed with books so that may not be the norm. I do feel I was a very smart shopper and bought the books that I tend to avoid because I find them way to expensive. Children hardcovers. Crazily overpriced. So, I got a whole bunch for future birthdays and Christmases at 60 or 70 percent off!
I am not going to lie...I did buy a few for myself - which I am so excited to read.
Like:
Fear of Flying by Erica Jong - a controvesial book from the 70's about women's sexuality.
Omnivore's Dilemna - I will probably go back to vegetarinism after reading that!
As well as books by Isabel Allende, Lisa See, Kurt Vonnegut, Amy Tan, Philip Roth, Alice Hoffman and Kate Choplin.
And look at the perfect book for my baby girl that I just happened to stumble upon...
I was so excited for this one. Meli will probably not like Audrey as much as I do but hopefully she will a tad at least. I mean, Audrey was on her list of possible names!
