Jackie I have the Fox book didn't realize it takes place in one of the places I always wanted to go too. Almost did once with my dad but he said if my mom didn't go I couldn't so none of us went. It was for a navy reunion and it was a good price at the time. Never tried Collins. I wonder about the YA Patterson books I love his adult ones but never tried the YA. But I read someplace they were almost like his adult one that had the flying children. That one was a strange one wasn't too crazy about it. And Carr I think I tried one of her's I can't remember what I thought of it. I'm not sure if I have the Virgin River one or if she has another series I might have one of. Have to look in the book listing. I'm reading a book I got off the staff's pick table at Bennett. Boy, do I miss that store I was a regular for along time. did you ever go there?

Malicious Intent: A Novel was good, not great.

The Hunger Games I just finished reading tonight. It is the first YA book I have read. At first I didn't think I was going to like it because it was futuristic and once I realized what the book was really about I would have put it down, but everyone said it was a great book. I'm glad I read it because I loved it.

I have read all of Patterson's books except the Max series. I started them, but wasn't loving them, so I stopped, but I am just about to start his new YA series and read Witch & Wizard. I will let you know about it once I have finished.

Again the Virgin River series was suggested by my other book group and I loved every second of the book from start to finish and have added the next 10 books in the series to my TBR pile.

I went to the Bennett books in Riverside Square Mall years ago, but I love B&N. I also have a Kindle and order books on that too.

I'm saying when Bennett Book was in Wyckoff. I don't think they were ever in Riverside Square mall. They were in that mall next to Boulder Run (on the corner) it was a great place. They closed a year or two because those big stores and internet was putting them out of business. They had a great sale for awhile before they closed I bought alot of books then. Now a days I go to B&N on 17N and Borders on 23 in Riverdale. Probably will go to B&N next week if I go to needlepoint (Ridgewood Needlepoint) I have a gift certificate from Christmas that I think I'll use on something at B&N.
Hate when I get a gift certificate for B&N to buy books I know I'll get rid of after reading them so usually I'll buy something else like a table book that I'll keep or a journal, Cd, DVD. I was thinking a cookbook this time and don't know what else.

Yes, I did spend a lot of money at the Bennett in Wyckoff. Years ago there was one in Riverside Square Mall (like 10+ years ago). It was so convenient to just pop around the corner and grab a book to read if I didn't have anything. I had totally forgotten about that store.

B&N has some great journals, or you could use it at the store for a muffin and coffee or they have games and magazines. Treat yourself to something fun. Whenever I buy books, I sell them on half.com after reading them or trade them on bookmooch.com.

I'm always buying journals at B&N. That is one of the first places I walk to check out for anything different then I go down the center aisle to that one table that what's new or whatever. I go by mysteries and romances. And sometimes I like going in the annex if they have that area of new arc's that the store gets before the hc comes out. Then I always end up eating something. At times I go upstairs to the music dept. i was in Ridgewood today but didn't get there so it will wait for another week.
Yes, Betty and her husband were great people I was so sorry to see them close. I was a regular which was once in week sometimes. I saw one of the gals that used to work there last year I think and she said everyone is saying how they miss them.

I am overdue for a B&N run.

I'm overdo for one too. Haven't been there since probably way before the holidays. I've been going more to Border's but I really like B&N better. And I just reupped again for another year of the membership. And I have a expired coupon too that I got in the mail before the holidays they usually still take them after they expire.
Maybe next week.

I didn't know they took expired coupons.

I think it depends who you get at check out. The sticker ones that came in the mail I know they usually will take them. Not sure about ones that you print out I haven't hooked my new printer up yet and the old one I don't have connected to the mac.

Next time I have an expired coupon I'll give it a try.

It sure can't hurt to give it a try.

Someone is alittle behind on keeping her book listing up. . I thought I was bad but I'm only behind 2 or 3 books.

I would say I'm slightly behind on my posts. Hopefully I'll get to them by the end of the year. I've been keeping them on an excel worksheet.
