BJ--Does it count that I bought a plane ticket to go see my mom for a combination mother's day/bday present?

BJ Rose (bjrose) | 4413 comments Went to the library today to pick up requested books (6 of them!) and ended up buying 3 more, which uses up my used-book credit from a previous win. For 75 cents total, I got Jacob Have I Loved, Under the Wire, and Flirting with Pete.

Although that 10 used-book number from Christine's challenge is very tempting, I'm probably going to go for the 5-new-books 'cause I have so many calling to me from the Cart - Need to think on that a little more!!

Just Finished The Book Thief, if any of you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it. Haunting, exquisitely written and probably one of the top three most affecting books I've ever read. Will stay with me forever.
