In My Mailbox (17) or Holy Booksale, Batman!

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren, where we all share what we got during the week!

So I had a super, fantastic book week!!

~I did buy two books this week, but they were both paperbacks so just 8.99 each, not too bad. Plus, I have to give a shout out to Barnes and Noble. I am SOOO impressed with their online service. Members get free express shipping,..I put in an order on Thursday and got them on Friday morning. WOW. I've been a member for years, I highly recommend it if you buy alot of books. You get your discount all the time and not just collecting points that can only be used one time of year like some bookstores..cough, Borders, cough, cough. Plus if you are like me and a bonafide Starbucks addict, you can even use your member discount at their in-store cafe. (Note: I'm not an employee or an affiliate of Barnes..just love the store!)

~Oh and...Hello, my name is Becky, and I am officially addicted to library book sales. Or maybe I've just gotten lucky at the two that I've been to in the last few weeks, but I am smitten. The books I got this week at the Sacramento FoL book sale were in excellent condition and once I took the plastic and barcodes off, the covers were like new. Yay!
