I just got in
from the Goodreads swap as well as
and
as my initial order from Doubleday. Great way to start the month.
Bought The Eyre Affair and The Alchemist today at the library's used bookstore. It was "buy one, get one free" day, so I got both for 75 cents total!
So far, I found copies of 
and
at a Books for Less shop. I also availed of a gift card. Promo says if I use it on April 2011, the value will double!I almost got
and three others but my boyfriend was already giving me an incredulous look. Next week!
Finally had a chance to peak into Borders; I was surprised the one near me that is closing had everything reduced by only 25% (I was hoping for better deals). Anyhoo, I picked up:The Hunger Games (already read it but my daughter wants to read it)
Summer by Edith Wharton
A Christmas Carol
The Importance of Being Earnest
(the last two for the Brit. Lit. class I'm teaching, so my daughter has her own copies.)
So far in MARCH I have bought(at Borders) Await Your Reply, Visit From the Goon Squad, Dog On It, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, Mathilda Savitch, Skippy Dies, Diary, and Rant! I went through an AWFUL break-up in 2010, and I replaced him with books! I LOVE to read them and I love to collect them! I know it would be cheaper and more wise for me to buy a Kindle or Nook, but I'm in love with buying books!! Oh well...Extremely Loud and Incredibly CloseDiaryRant: An Oral Biography of Buster CaseyAwait Your ReplyMathilda SavitchSkippy DiesDog on ItThe Scent of Rain and Lightning

Not supposed to be getting anything this month, since I wanted to let the wallet recover a little bit, but I couldn't help checking out the bargain bin at the supermarket the other night and found
. I couldn't resist, although I'm not sure when I'll actually start reading it. I found one or two others in the bin that looked interesting, and am contemplating going back to get them.

I finally gave in and went to my closing Borders to pick up
and
for 30% off each. I figured with the way this store was emptying out so quickly, there wouldn't be anything left when they finally got to offering better deals like 40% or more. :-(
I, too, went to my closing Borders and got
I love cook books, although I need to actually start cooking more-I have good intentions. Yesterday I got
