February 2010 Purchases


Today, some of used and new purchases arrived from amazon:








Have you read them yet? Will you let me know if they're good? I keep seeing them at the bookstore and think about picking them up, but I haven't heard anything about them.

...and I feel like there was more, but I can't recall...must be my elderly brain giving out...

Have you read them yet?..."
I haven't read them yet. I'm a huge fan of the movie and a friend of mine recommended them. She read them, and was really impressed. She can hardly wait for vol 4 to be released. I hope to read them soon, and I definitely let you know :o)
Miracle of miracles, I actually haven't bought anything yet. But Borders is really tempting me, today they sent me an All Books Buy 1, Get 1 50% Off coupon. I've read that Borders is really in danger of going out of business and I fear they might. They seem to be offering these unbelievable coupons every week to try and drum up more business.

I sure hope they don't go out of business. Now I feel bad because I've been holding out for a 40% coupon which they haven't offered yet this year.

2 books came from book depository for me today. They don't seem to have many 50% off books this month.

I want to buy Black Magic Sanction this month. Amazon is offering a 46% off preorder price while Book Depository is only offering 25% off. I'm debating whether to preorder it from Amazon now or wait and see if BookDepo will offer the 50% off when the book comes out like they sometimes do.


I was wondering if that was why I was suddenly getting a barrage of Borders coupons in my email, I hope they don't go out of business, too many bookstores are disappearing! I bought too much anime this month and don't have as much for books, otherwise I'd totally be using that buy 1, get one 50% off!

Susan, I know the feeling. It's like I'm not doing my duty. lol. Unfortunately, my book buying budget has been severely cut do to the recent acquisition of a new used automobile. I think my days of binge buying are gone, at least for the next five years. :-)

Ah Suz, I'm green with envy!!!! Either Borders better come out with a 40% off coupon or bookdepository better drop the price soon.

Valorie, you, LooLoo, and Joseph inspire me! Everytime I see what you've bought, I want to buy it too. I only thought I was a bibliophile until I joined this group :oP
