Half Price Books, a discount used books store, had a sale this past weekend. Everything in their stores was 20% off from books, to music, to DVDs, and everything in-between. Before the sale I had two brand-spanking-new bookshelves that were bought, assembled, and just waiting to be filled. After the sale? Well, let's just say that if I purchase any more books I'll need to buy another shelf.
My mom, the person I got my passion for books from, went with me to peruse the sale. There's a Half Price Books downtown that is gargantuan. We refer to this one as, "The big Half Price Books." After spending time and money there we weren't quite satisfied that we'd taken full advantage of this sale so we went to a store closer to home. Mom and I parted ways to peruse the aisles and when she found me again, my basket brimming with books even as I pulled more from the shelf, she made a comment on the quantity of books I owned. She told me that if I kept up that way I'd need an apartment where the only furniture was a bed, a chair, and bookshelves. I replied that that's all I need - a bed to sleep in, a chair to read in, and shelves for all my books. Sounds like a pretty awesome apartment to me!
This blog will be used as a book review blog. Most books reviewed will be young adult fiction, but there will be some adult fiction strewn about here and there among the other reviews. With an entire 5-shelf bookshelf brimming with books I have not yet read let the reviewing begin!
