In my mail box this week

I came home Friday to find a happy box for me outside of my apt door! Which is odd because no one usually knows my apartment is there, and my stuff is usually left inside the main foyer of the apartment building. I ordered from Barnes and Noble online this week, which is something I don’t usually do…I’m not a member, so it’s usually more expensive than Amazon, and if I am in a walk around a store mood I go to Borders because I have that store memorized. My local (near apt) Barnes and Nobles has an impressive YA section though, I should head over there more often.
I was first inspired to go shopping because I saw my credit card has 7 points for every dollar at Barnes and Noble, haha. Then I saw they were having a free 3 day shipping sale AND they dropped the prices for everyone to member prices for a time. I had a 30 dollar gift card just sitting here so I went to town.
I bought “Beautiful Creatures” finally, I wasn’t sure if I was getting it for Christmas, or if I would get a gift card for books so I waited but I am very excited to finally read it.
I have been waiting to get that Emily Dickinson book for awhile, but I could never find it in-store so I ordered it this time around. Just so this doesn’t make me feel mopey, I will just watch this AP LIT project from Youtube over and over:
New Jasper Fforde, I wonder what color I would be able to see?
The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate also showed up at my door from that lovely gift card.
“Her Fearful Symmetry” audiobook is from the Library. Actually I’m going to pop it in now while I work on cleaning the apartment, and folding a mountain of laundry that has gained sentience and is plotting a hostile take over of my place.
