DAMMIT!! I keep looking at Nook Daily Finds even after I tell myself that I'm not going to purchase another book until I read at least three books that I already have on my nook.

:( But when you keep seeing books you want that are normally $10-$12 on sale for $1-$3.... HOW CAN YOU RESIST?!!

.... *deletes her quick book mark* There. I'm done. No more. I've got too many books to read. When I start becoming desperate again I'll start looking up sales.... .....

:( help me....

Decide how much you're going to spend before you go look for books. Before you know the prices. This number is a maximum, not a minimum.

I wish I'd figured out that plan out earlier. Would have saved me a lot of money on Steam games...

I'm very lucky to work in a bookstore that gives me free advance copies of books (in exchange for book reviews for our website and Goodreads account) and allows me to borrow used ones whenever I like! And! Twice a year we mark down 75,000 of our books to a dollar or less and guess who gets the sale books fo' free? Yup. The staff.

Nopes. It's an indie bookstore with only one location. When I move I'll be three hours away. : (

I still haven't decided whether I'll stick with bookstores when I move or try to find jobs with better pay.

My mouth is, quite literally, agape. (At least it was before I started typing this. ^_^")

Agreed. I gave away my paperback copy a while back and couldn't pass up replacing it in hardcover, especially since it now matches my hardcover copy of the follow-up, Secret Windows.

That is why I prefer e-books. I don't have to mess around with bindings.

I will admit that the thing I like most about e-readers is the comfort of not having to hold open an awkward, heavy, tightly-bound book.
