cherrySo, HI, this is why I am not allowed to go to McNally Robinson. Went in with a $40 gift certificate from Christmas (which I wasn't allowing myself to spend until my apartment was clean*) and I came out with three trades and a hardcover. Which, yeah, slightly more than the gift certificate. Putting back books you really, really want to read is kind of painful.
Picked up The Time Traveler's Wife, on recommendation from you all, The Brief History of the Dead, Please Don't Come Back from the Moon, and Little, Big.
I have so much love for bookstores, even though they make my wallet cry and my stomach feel a little funny.
* Does anyone remember the part where I pretty much the opposite of domestic? I wasn't allowed to set up the stereo I got for Christmas until my apartment was clean, either.** My old boom box was getting rather elderly, and I can hardly believe the difference in sound quality. It is amazing.
** If I didn't make deals with myself, I would never get anything done. Ever.
