Joseph ’s comments from the Book Buying Addicts Anonymous group.

John! There can never be TOO many stores, TOO many bargains! You mean there's never enough! lol. (Get the feeling I'm one of the worst when it comes to Book Buying Addicts? lol) Welcome to the group. :-)

Happy New Year everyone! Here's to another great year of book buying! Feel free to list and comment on your purchases as you get them this January, 2010.

Thanks CD, I was stumped.

Valerie, if anyone needs a trip to book rehab, it's definately me. Not only did I get a great deal at Borders on National Geographic Complete Birds of North America but I also brought home used from the library: The Devil's Arithmetic and The men-of-war.
That brings me to finish the month with 81 total. Not a bad way to end the year, we'll see what next year brings.

Happy New Year everyone!

Valorie, that's nothing. I just brought home another used book from the library to bring me up to 78 now. Still two days left in December. I've got a Borders coupon that might at least bring me up to 79. lol

The Monitor and the Merrimac by Fletcher Pratt

Ironclads and Blockades in the Civil War by Douglas J. Savage

Gunfire Around the Gulf The Last Major Naval Campaigns of the Civil War by Jack D. Coombe

Divided Waters The Naval History of the Civil War by Ivan Musicant

I love to read about the naval battles of the Civil War, especially the ironclads.

Ok, Nonfiction now instead of fiction is going to be an interesting topic. And I really like to read about the American Civil War in particular, so let's see what I can provide.

I'll start with WW2.
Blitzkrieg by Robert Wernick

Valerie, you're going to like Demon Mistress.

Now that Christmas is over, I'd like to ask "What books, if any, did people get you?"

And Merry Christmas everyone! :-)

I'm ready with a Z if somebody has a Y.

I've got a U!
