Woot finally got my computer back after months and months of it being broken! Recently I've been so bummed about all the Borders stores closing. It is crazy to see how picked over all the stores were just when things were 20% off... I mean, Borders constantly had coupons for 33% off with 40% off ones pretty frequently too, sometimes even 50% off and with the stores closing you couldn't use any coupons. So I was really surprised that as soon as everything was 20% off so much of the store inventory was gone. It was pretty sad seeing books just tossed all over the place, especially when I spotted a few I had worked on.
Went to one of the bigger stores today that had an upper level, but it was closed off and what they had left didn't fill up even half of the lower level. So now there's only going to be one left in my area, which thankfully isn't too far away. There's still B&N, but I enjoyed being able to use coupons at Borders to get discounted books at Borders so I could buy even more books! Plus, Borders always seemed to have a wider selection of books that I'm interested in than B&N for some reason. I bought a book today and almost cried out when the employee took a huge Sharpie marker to the back of the book. ; A ; I like to collect books and keep them in good condition, but whatever, I'll get over it! Anyone read anything good lately?
