Today was a book day

brightrosefoxAdam and I went to Barnes & Noble because we had a coupon, and we booked hard. Oh, so much booking did we do.
I said I only needed replacement copies of Mira Grant's "Feed" and A. Lee Martinez's "Emperor Mollusk vs The Sinister Brain" - and then I wound up with my arms full of half a dozen books from the SF/F and YA sections, running to Adam, crying "Help! Stop me from booking again! Ooh, what's that? Oh gods, stop me before I book again! I think I need a basket! So many books!"
Adam, who had chosen two books from the SF/F section, just smiled and took a couple of my books. He didn't even tell me to put some back. We got sympathetic grins from fellow customers.
As we made our way downstairs to the checkout line, I said that it was a good thing we had that coupon plus our membership card. All totaled we spent just under one hundred dollars but we saved fifteen dollars. So many books. And now, Adam can start reading the Newsflesh trilogy properly. Yay!
The other books I wound up with, the ones that were in danger of falling from my arms as I grabbed like a magpie with shiny things, were the following:
"Serpent's Storm" and "How To Be Death" by Amber Benson
"Trance" by Kelly Meding
"Bloodlines" by Richelle Mead
"Born At Midnight" and "Taken At Dusk" by C.C. Hunter
I first need to devour "Emperor Mollusk Versus The Sinister Brain" which Adam has promised will bring hours of laughter and joy well beyond the last page. Then I can dive into the rest. "Serpent's Storm," "How To Be Death," and "Trace" should be simple snacks, while the rest will be savored. Good, well-written supernatural Young Adult fiction always gets me curious, especially now with all the bad, poorly-written supernatural Young Adult fiction out there. I'm going to need something after I finish Kiersten White's Paranormalcy trilogy, after all.
