Smacks forehead!

That was dumb.
Travel dates are quickly approaching. There are a few things I still need. Including a secure bag to keep my stuff in. I picked one out online a while back.
Yesterday was the first time it was on sale, plus I had a 30% off coupon, and a $10 off coupon, and...including the moisture wicking, thin summer socks I was ordering should have put me up over that magic number for free shipping.
....idiot that I am, closed the window before retrieving my credit card and coupons and actually checking out.
30% off expired yesterday, as did the sale.
C'est la vie.
So, it's not on sale, though the sale was only like 10% off. Being the store of a thousand sales I have a pick-a-day coupon for 15% off, so I decided to order it today anyway. I want it to arrive before I leave!
I just finished checking out and went to check my email for confirmation when I noticed in my email earlier today I received and email for 20% off for this weekend only (including today online!).
Lesson learned, when dealing with the store of a thousand sales check your email for new coupons BEFORE hitting checkout.
Oh well.

My other stupid move of the summer has been to begin to read a pair of books that I should have put off for my trip.
I can't not take a book with me. That's just absurd. These books are not only light reading, they're lightweight and small in size. So perfect for packing into my purse let alone a carry-on.
I finished the first of two and started the second and I know that I won't be able to just stop reading it for three weeks. Also, I'm far enough in that it would only last me the flight there.
So now I need to find something else to take with me. I could splurge and buy one of the sexy new Nooks and take a bunch of books with me, but then there's one more electronic device for me to worry about.
So, I'm looking for something fun, inexpensive, and mass-market paperback size to take with me to France and Spain. Suggestions? (all the rest of my to-read stack is either hard cover, or trade paperback, or...Psych media-tie-ins)
