Yep, cracked and bought another book instead of writing a paper this morning.
The sad part is, I won't actually be able to touch and read any of the books I'm getting until I get back to the States...in another month and a half. T.T
I ordered these from amazon earlier this week, and just got them this morning:
I bought these at a used bookstore today
and this one at Target

I have bought 13 books this month already. I need help Yikes!
Mod
What do you mean you need help? I think you're doing just fine. lol
I am addicted that is all. It would be nice if I could read the one's I already have before buying another 13. haha.
I had Borders Bucks and a 30% of coupon to use so I bought:
I know I should've bought Silver Borne from the book depository, but I just had to have it NOW.
I'm trying to be good, so I bought my Silver Borne from Book depository. I keep running out to check the mail everyday, crossing my fingers!! I cant wait to get it!
Picked up "Cursed" by Carol Higgins Clark at Sam's club for $4.88 so I can now finish reading this series. 1 book for me this month so far.
I got this
for $1.00 at Half Priced Books!!
I just bought Run.... drumroll please... and it's a SIGNED version. And guess where I got it? At a thrift store four a buck!!!!! Heck ya.Also, bought hardcover Love Walked In for a $1
Well, today I stopped by the local library book sale, then the ubs, and when I got home I had a half.com order waiting for me!
Ah man...you guys are really making me wish I had a Half Priced Books nearby...but the closest ones are on the Western side of Pennsylvania...yuck.Anywho, meanwhile,
and
from Better World Books. Then, I said, no more.Until they sent me a coupon...
I received my amazon marketplace order last night:
Mod
"Nice choice, I've heard some very good things about this title.
It begins...I received these books from Amazon in the post today:
A Morbid Taste for Bones: The First Chronicle of Brother Cadfael The Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England: A Handbook for Visitors to the Fourteenth Century
Then ordered these:
Revelation Watch Your Mouth
Then went into town and bought this from an Oxfam bookstore:
Soulless
...Oops. XD
Mod
You know, after reading about all these great buys, I feel like I'm going through withdrawal. I haven't bought a single new book yet this month. I might have to do something drastic, like stopping at Borders after work. :-)
So far nothing for me this month!! But it's still early yet :):)
Today I got my first books of April, from Amazon.com:
I got
from eBay and
from the used bookstore.
Went to Vancouver for spring break and went a bit crazy at Chapters... better than B&N and Borders!! Then came back to US and got some more... yeah.

Heh I know!! I couldn't resist because those Canadian bookstores have GOOD STUFF... plus there's a truckload of must-have books coming out soon (!!!!!! yayayay). As for Inside Out, will do! I'll try to read it asap but I'm currently in a humongous bout of indecision about what book to read next... (=

Chapters looks awesome. I may have to make a special trip to Canada just for that. :) And I hope "Eyes Like Stars" and "Enchanted Glass" read well. (Has both on pre-order but won't see or touch for a while. T.T)
Bluemoon wrote: "I LOVE Chapters! It's the bookstore near my house and I can't live without it. That and Indigo...^_^"Crud. Now I feel really left out. (I've never even heard of Indigo.) ^^;;
I finally went to my first library book sale ever, and bought 30 books from various genres. I didn't know what I missing!

Lucky Canadians. :)
Bluemoon wrote: "yes, yes we are...hehehe... ^_^"
Sigh yeah... here in the States we only have B&N and Borders and their selections aren't too great! When I walked into Chapters my jaws nearly hit the floor with wonder :) Plus this is trivial but the search computers around the store are pretty darn awesome as well :D
Is Chapters or Indigo the larger bookstore?
I just bought these three from the Family Dollar Store:
Mod
I also picked up a couple used from the library:
Eaters of the Dead
Murderers' Row: Baseball Mysteries
The Magician's Tale

Michelle: Every year we have those we sell out in an 90 mins. The ladies have boxes and boxes set out and they never last the full 3 hours! Its only 2 times a year and people line up around the block to get in. Being a member of the FOL [Friends of the Library:] bookstore its you discounts too, so check with your local Library about that =D
I had my PBS profile turned off for like 6 months. Now I remember why! I have 5 books coming in the mail and 5 on request. Not books I need but books I want. books I have been waiting for over a year! I had to buy credits to get these.Now, this is saying nothing happens and they all make it here, lol
Wishlist swaps

First it was the used bookstore, then ebay, now the library sales. Between the three, I just know I'll have to work some overtime this month, lol!

I just found out there'll be a booksale at a different library branch in my area this weekend. I'll be sure to get there early :)
I went to the ubs today and then went to K-mart to do some shopping and found a book there. They have some good prices on books! I also received a half.com order and B&N.com order.
That brings to me to 30 so far!
