why i shouldn't be allowed in bookstores.

[2eclipse]

i have no will-power.
i went to barnes and noble to get 1 book. ONE.
ashoe 's assertions that kushiel's justice had come out was overwhelming and i had a coupon for 15% off in addition to my 20% member discount. it was too much to resist.

when i got there lo and behold there was a summer sale. paperback classics buy 2 get one free!!! and i could use my member discount (10% on paperbacks). there were a bunch that i had never heard of before and several i had been wanting to read....i limited myself to six including the free ones.
i found to my dismay that jaqueline carey's book was NOT in stock...but the name of the wind by patrick ruthfuss was. it has gotten great reviews by podcasts i admire and i heard an interview with the author that was interesting. i used my additional discount on that instead.
all in all, i spent less than $50 and got 7 books. not a bad deal at all. but i really need to not go to bookstores until i have a job.

I spotted a hardback copy of Kushiel's Justice in a DC Borders' Books on Friday, just to let you know.

I am dying to read this next book, but I don't buy hardback books cause they take up too much room.

Fortunately, Fairfax Cty library is getting 10 copies of it...so I'll be reserving it.
