New Books!
Jan. 31st, 2012 05:04 pmI had an appointment out of town this morning and me and Mom had decided to make a day of it. We weren't sure if she would be off today or not until later on in the day so we had to rather quick-ish just in case.
So we went to the mall, books-a-million and the Cracker Barrel. Man! I should do this more often through the week. I didn't feel as rushed or crowded at all!
So my purchases are (I've been saving money off and on for a while)
When at the mall I raided both Bath & Body Works and Victoria's Secret and got the following neat stuff!
B&BW:
3 travel-sized lotions (one of which was free thanks to a coupon) in Be Enchanted, Paris Amour, and Carried Away
-1 small bottle of fragrance mist in Paris Amour
-2 small handbacs in Sweet Pea and I Love Shopping (that's Peach, weird name I know) (all that for less than $12! It was all on sale PLUS I had a coupon for an additional 20% off, hah!)
VS:
5 pairs of underwear (because I needed some new pairs and VS high-cut briefs are just awesome
(If you think I'm gonna name colors you're NUTS, hee)
And lately before the trip to CB was BAM! where I got the must-have books on my list
-The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien (I've never read t before and I decided to tackle it)
-Death comes to Pemberley by P.D. James (although what little I've heard about Mary in this book has me fuming Yet another author, fanfic or professional gets her wrong (IMO)) It take a person like Mary herself to recognize what type of person she is. Yes I know she's a fictional character! But I'm VERY protective of her!
-and
Jane Eyre I almost got a fancy-covered edition for $16 but common sense won out and I got a version which was half the price. Hell I haven't even truly tried to read Wuthering Heights (different Bronte I know) but I've seen the recent movie version and I know how it ends and THAT disappointed me) But even so I'm willing to give JE a try regardless (at some point in time, not now. Hobbit first!)
