In My Mailbox (2)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi of The Story Siren.

What I read this week: 
East of the Sun - Julia Gregson

What I'm currently reading: 

Gated Grief: The Daughter of a GI Concentration Camp Liberator Discovers a Legacy of Trauma - Leila Levinson
As You Like It - William Shakespeare  (possibly)

  
What I purchased this week: 
       The library has a booksale room that sells used donated or former library books.  So it's pretty hit-or-miss.  This week I hit...plus they had a buy-one-get-one-free sale.  What did I get?

• The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath
• Outlander - Diana Gabaldon
• The Venetian Betrayal - Steve Berry
• The Alexandria Link - Steve Berry
• The Charlemagne Pursuit - Steve Berry
• Johnathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - Susanna Clarke

       Six books.  All paperbacks and in good condition.  And how much did these six books set me back?  $0.75.  Total.

 In other news:
       As of Saturday (ie: yesterday) my local Borders Bookstore has started it's liquidation sale.  When I visited I noticed that:

1. The lines were loooooooooong....like worse than Christmas-time looooong.  
2. The coffee store in the Boarders is closed with all of the chairs and tables pushed to a side. 
3.  Despite signs saying that everything was 20% to 40% off, books were 20% off, greeting cards were 30% off, and nothing I saw was 40% off.
4. I bought nothing, since it seemed that the prices were still fairly high considering what the prices are for books on websites and I saw little that I really wanted to buy. 

       Having your nearest remaining bookstore close sucks.  Not finding anything you want to buy there when there are discounts on everything almost sucks just as much.
