Finally had a chance to peak into Borders; I was surprised the one near me that is closing had everything reduced by only 25% (I was hoping for better deals). Anyhoo, I picked up:

The Hunger Games (already read it but my daughter wants to read it)
Summer by Edith Wharton
A Christmas Carol
The Importance of Being Earnest
(the last two for the Brit. Lit. class I'm teaching, so my daughter has her own copies.)

So far in MARCH I have bought(at Borders) Await Your Reply, Visit From the Goon Squad, Dog On It, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, Mathilda Savitch, Skippy Dies, Diary, and Rant! I went through an AWFUL break-up in 2010, and I replaced him with books! I LOVE to read them and I love to collect them! I know it would be cheaper and more wise for me to buy a Kindle or Nook, but I'm in love with buying books!! Oh well...Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close Diary Rant: An Oral Biography of Buster Casey Await Your Reply Mathilda Savitch Skippy Dies Dog on It The Scent of Rain and Lightning

I finally gave in and went to my closing Borders to pick up

for 30% off each. I figured with the way this store was emptying out so quickly, there wouldn't be anything left when they finally got to offering better deals like 40% or more. :-(
