Bye-bye Borders - for good
I need to get a job so I can start supporting my book habit.
Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green & David Levithan
Keeping the Moon by Sarah Dessen
Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen
Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen
The Janitor's Boy by Andrew Clements
You might notice a distinct pattern in the list above. That's because I caved and bought a box set of Dessen books (including a cheap key pendant). I also found Will Grayson in paperback (finally!) so I resolved on getting that. Janitor's Boy was something my little bro found for me at a garage sale a couple days ago, but I thought it should be included. As I have been a fan of Clements' work, I'm thinking of doing a special review for the four or five books of his I have.
In other news, yes, I have heard that Borders is officially going out of business. I suppose I ought to be sad, but I really can't muster up the sympathy for an overpriced book chain being run over by the dismal economy. Don't get me wrong: declining book sales absolutely suck, especially for prospective writers like myself. Maybe I'm feeling smug because of my Kindle and the local Half-Priced Books ten minutes away. But as it stands, I really won't miss Borders; I would rather champion the independent bookstore.
