You know what's dangerous? Coupons for 20% off one book if your total purchase is $35 or more. So naturally I couldn't JUST buy The Graveyard Book, since it was only $19.50 before taxes. Had to find another $15.50 in books! I considered Millenium Falcon, but I think I'll probably wait for the paperback on that one. It looks like it could be fun, but I'm not sure it will be $30 fun. I also considered Nation, but my parents tend to get me the new Pratchetty goodness for Christmas. (This means that Daddy reads it first and sends me random excerpts cobbled together from sentences on an assortment of pages.)
So I bought Watchmen, since I want to read it before the movie comes out. Thus my entire purchase can be blamed on Neil Gaiman. Alan Moore even thanks Gaiman!
Finding The Graveyard Book was, not entirely surprisingly, an adventure. I was pretty sure it would be in children's, since that's where Vicki mentioned Chapters thought it should be shelved, so I assumed it would probably be the same at Coles. But... the Twilight fans! I was walking into the section and, well, apparently there's SOMETHING out that has fold outs with pictures from the movie. They were... shrieking! So I decided to ask for help. :p
But yay, I has books! And I renewed my iRewards card, which made for a pricey excursion over all. :p
