      Debi, I actually got 9 books this week. :) All ARCs. LOL!I'll get the list and post here, off the top of my head, I remember Secret Keeper by Mitali Perkins, Black Water Rising by Attica Locke and Hidden Wives by Claire Avery.
      Hi Aths going to have to go check those books out..they sound good..smiles. Well let see..working on 18 hours again..LOL!! I have to stop this!!!
      OH Lisa you should be so proud of yourself(I am proud of you)look how great your doing..You are making me jealous with your will power..holy moly..For the rest of this month because of your good influence I am shooting for not buying 1 book till July. One step at a time..smiles. I am now working on day 2 and 26 days to go..smiles.
    
      Hi Lisa I had a feeling that was the reason and I wasn't digging, sorry if it seemed like I was didn't mean to come acrossed that way..no matter what the reason you are still doing great!!
    
      No Debi, that is fine I'm just letting you know willpower has nothing to do with it. Cause if I had money there would be NO willpower. LOL
    
      I hear ya girlfriend..smiles. But I did really good today I didn't spend a dime on books...smiles. I am shooting for July before I let myself buy another book for me. I do have to buy something for Richard for Father's Day from My kiddo's and the grandkids and I saw at WalMart today a trilogy of Historical Fiction Mystery's which he loves. So as I won't be buying them for me they will be for him. I am not a Historical Fiction reader..smiles. I do have a few on my TBR list just to try it out and couple to finish off 1 series but that is the only reason they are there..LOL!!Day 3 YAY!!!

      Day 5 and still haven't bought a book. Trying my best not to buy one. I came so close over the weekend..LOL!!
    
      ... 4 minutes ago?!? sigh.*Stupid Amazon just happens to have my credit card on file. I seriously need to delete my account. of course, that's so not likely-
      Trish I now how you feel..LOL!!Today is Day 7 book buying free..LOL!! It is the weekend I have a heck of a time with..LOL
      Day 8 and my weekend with hubby starts tomorrow. A Book at the Grocery Store a little while ago almost jumped into my cart..LOL!! But I fought it off...LOL!!I did buy a 50 million Lotto Ticket thought. You can win the 50 million and there is 20 1 million dollar prizes this week. OH Please Lord!!!
      Hello, my name is Trish and I did not buy a single book today. Though I'm not entirely sober yet. The USPS delivered a package and my Mom stopped by to drop off another sixteen books that she just read. Then Amazon emailed to let me know that they just shipped part of yesterday's order.
Technically, still not a purchase however. :) LOL
      Your doing good Trish..smiles. I just received an order I bought two weeks ago but I haven't actually bought a book in 8 days now..smiles.
    
      Okay I bought a book today..hanging her head low..LOL!!Blown Away
Sharon Sala. I am back at 4 hours now..LOL!1
      I was doing really well until I walked into my local used bookstore yesterday - I now have (drumroll please) $1630 in credit there. :)

      Argh. Starting over again today because when I went to the library to drop off some books yesterday, these were waving hello to me and I couldn't resist. The Blackstock ones look brand new and they were only 25¢ each!! 
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
Ok, so back to one day.
      Okay I am back at 7 hours. We went to a Yard Sale and they had one of my favorite authors books that I didn't have so I picked it up for 25 cents.

      I am so pathetic. I must allow my husband to change my Amazon password so that I cannot access that account. I ordered one, used, out-of-print book and it was less than $7 total. Not bad, but still... sheesh.
So, back to the starting line I go.
      Okay Ladies I have a question can I order from B&N Being in Canada??? Or is that site just for residents of the U.S.??
    
      Hi Debi, I just checked on the B&N website. Here is the link that tells you about Canadian shipping charges. www.barnesandnoble.com/help/po_shippi...
      Holy Moly--- here I go back to the end of the line AGAIN! Grrr.head hanging in shame, it's been four hours.
