- Went to Borders for the last time today. I went upstairs only to find the romance novel section completely empty.
Imagine my horror.
Mom told me they probably just moved them downstairs, but I figured they just took them off the shelves to sell elsewhere. I peruse the rest of upstairs, then go downstairs to see what they had in the bargain books. A few minutes later Mom shows me that they did move the romance novels to the back, downstairs.
Mommy was right!
I bought FIVE books for the price of ONE!!!! The romances were 80% off, so my total was only $8.34! The most expensive book I bought was $1.60! Only 2 of those books were on my list, but I'm still very pleased.
Oh! Mom found the Outlander graphic novel, The Exile! She bought it for me. Sweet, huh? It was normally $25, and she got it for $7.50! She didn't even know about this book, and I never bothered looking for it b/c I figured it'd either be gone or still pretty expensive. It was 70% off.
And now I'm wondering if they had the "Songs of Love & Death" anthology. I wish I had thought to look for that.
There are a few books I probably should have bought today, but I didn't want to go too crazy without looking for the titles I REALLY want at the antique mall first, even if they are used. I do wish I had looked at the children's section during my previous trips, for some of the classics, because today the selection was just overpicked.
- GREAT NEWS! Karen announced on Facebook today that "Into the Dreaming" is going to be re-released. It's going to have extra scenes and deleted scenes from the HIGHLANDER books!!!!!!!!
- This is nuts. I got up early, turned off my alarm and decided to rest for just 15 minutes before looking up jobs in the school system for today. Hours later I woke up, realizing I had DREAMED about getting up and checking the system. It felt so real, too.
- Whoa, this is a record breaker. I've bought something like 27 books over the last month or two. Most of them were new and marked down, too! I feel like I'm on candid camera or something. This just can't be real.
