    Default The Bookstore Motherlode~

    Ahhhh, my favorite bookstore, Book Depot is a huge warehouse of close-outs. On a regular day prices are very low - example recent hardcovers for $8.99. But their Boxing Day sale was 50% off everything in the store.

    I got a ton of books I haven't read and only spent $67:

    5 Nora Roberts hardcovers
    1 Karen Robards paperback
    3 big scrapbooking how-tos
    2 kids craft how-tos
    1 book of Jewels' poetry for my daughter
    7 hardcover novels that just sounded good
    1 James Patterson
    3 gift-type journals to give throughout the year
    2 cookbooks
    1 decorating book
    3 Alice Hoffman hardcovers
    1 Patricia Cornwall hardcover

    I am a total bookworm, and I like to keep books by favorite authors. I prefer that to going to the library for certain books. I have a room filled with shelves for all my books!

    Hooray! Any other bibliophile here will be cheering with me!

    Sounds like my dream! I got some great books for Christmas and have run out of room on my bookshelves. Guess I'll have to buy some more shelves =)!

    I totally love books. We have books running out of our ears here. I find them at used book stores, library sales and thrift stores. My favorite thrift store sells them for 25 cents for paperback and 50 cents for hardback. If there is a book I really want and can't find at my favorite places I'll hunt it down on half.ebay.com. I refuse to pay full price for any book.

    Yay, Karen, how awesome! I *love* books. There's nothing better than curling up with a good read, especially this time of year.
