The store opened up at 9am so I left my house by 7:20, got a Tim's tea, and sat in the parking lot and waited for the doors to open. I lined up outside at about 8:30 and was the third person in line behind two women who said they had done the Boxing Day sale every year for 10 years. I recommended books to other people waiting in line and was checking out the website to see what was in store that I needed to pick up. They opened the door at 8:55am and I grabbed a (broken) cart and headed into the store.
Because of the store's layout, I started with the young adult books. I went right for MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH and then UGLIES and AFTERWORLDS because I knew I needed to get those. I then hopped over to get the Fantasy books for Sarah so that I didn't have to worry about someone else grabbing them. Since they were in the next aisle, I had to maneuver my cart through a throng of people but I held my own. Within two minutes, I had 5 books in my cart.

After 15 minutes I had all these |
After this, I visited the Manga/Graphic Novel section and grabbed SO MANY FABLES GRAPHIC NOVELS. It was awesome, I'm not going to lie. I wanted to grab some more manga but there weren't a whole lot there that I collect so I just grabbed a FAIRY TAIL and two volumes of LITTLE QUEEN. I then went through the audiobook section and picked up THE BANE CHRONICLES because I think these short stories sound better read aloud than reading them on paper (it's a psychological thing but I'm chill with it) and that was it!

I put them into piles to count and estimate a total |
I want to read all of the Kelley Armstrong books, also the Bane Chronicles, though I should probably first finish the series, right? The books by Bethany Griffin look interesting, the covers are really pretty.
ReplyDeleteLet's be honest here. I want to read all of those books ;) I hope you enjoy all of them! :D
Okay after reading that title: THE LAST ONE UNTIL 2017 WHAT WHAT???? Also, just like I said on Twitter, I SPY MY FAV AUTHOR WOOT WOOT! I definitely want to start reading some manga soon- do you have any recommendations for me?
ReplyDeleteI am SO JEALOUS that you live near a real Book Outlet. I buy books from them all the time, but I would love to go to the store. You got some awesome books! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteOkay, okay. I forgot to comment on this before but I'd like to say, I'M SO FREAKING HAPPY YOU GOT SO MANY BOOKS. I rarely ever get books so I live through other people's book purchases lol. Have fun reading Little Queen. That was a good one!
ReplyDeleteI hope these books can make you survive until 2017! Hahaha! I've only read An Ember in the Ashes and I really enjoyed it. Happy Reading
ReplyDeleteI blame laziness for not going to the store as there were so many things not available online (most of which are those adult fantasies that cost me my limbs at full price). Otherwise, awesome haul!
