books!

Jan 26, 2007 01:20

today was a productive day. had lunch with jen at darla's on irving. that place has some good burgers and "sammies" (as the menu would call it). walked up a couple of blocks to this coffee shop on the corner. the place serves organic coffee beans...but yeahh...hung out there for awhile working on my resume. the dude that made the coffee was a character. the music playing was jazzy and cool. afterwards, we headed to borders to check out some stuff since i had a 20% off coupon for one book or one dvd!

anywho. didn't use the coupon cuz i got suckered into buying 3 books for the price of 2! WOOHOO! i love getting new books...but i never seem to finish any of them when i buy multiple books. OH WELL. additions to my sparse collection:

1. love walked in marisa de los santos

yeah yeah...chiclit title, but who knows!

2.the ice queen alice hoffman

so the register woman asked me if i've ever read her stuff and i said no. she said there's this one called "here on earth" that's pretty intense and if i ever read it, i should read a happy book while reading that one. oooook..

3.the memory keeper's daughter kim edwards

so this one has been out for awhile...i remember browsing through it last year at barnes and noble and wanting to buy it except barnes is way overpriced compared to borders, so i didn't get it until now! woohoo, bargain!

did you know the word "peruse" doesn't mean to skim. it actually means to look thoroughly. the things you learn at borders! it just makes you smarter walking in there. maybe i should study GRE vocab words there.
