Those are "...Oh TBQ, you are better than me... Those are "bad" words, lol!! Self Control... what is that!!!! I have none when it comes to walking into Borders.... or going online!! LOL!!!Then I even come up with these really cute reasons why I had to get those books... Like...<br />They were just screaming my name.<br />Oh, it was a sale...<br />I had a coupon...<br />My mom wanted to read this one... (Yea right, my Mom does not read my books, lol ~ but hubby doesn't know that... yet)<br />The covers were just really hot!!!<br />LMAO!!! Yes, I will use whatever excuse I can find!!!<br />I hope you have a great night and excellent book haul you got there!Cecile Smutty Hussyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12396832012591524937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665081061335208089.post-78946562576179179682009-09-14T21:33:16.812-06:002009-09-14T21:33:16.812-06:00Wow TBQ!!!

I however only walked out with 3 books (actually that was because hubby was with me)! I'm going back tomorrow! :)Blanchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14537639881370998817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665081061335208089.post-33017472230323854302009-09-14T15:43:49.402-06:002009-09-14T15:43:49.402-06:00Lindsay,
I can relate-- you can't walk out wit...Lindsay,<br />I can relate-- you can't walk out with only one, then it will be lonely! And think of all the other poor books left behind! :D<br /><br />Anna,<br />See-- it's this so called "self control" that we all have in common! :D <br />Ooh, I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed both of them-- I think I'm going to post reviews on both of them when I get through. At least Catching Fire, which I'm working on now (So good!)<br /><br />Michelle G,<br />You know, I think Saturdays are a dangerous day for any of us to go out and shop. It seems like by the time Sunday/Monday comes around, there are a lot of new books beings posted on our blogs! Lol. <br />I look forward to your review-- hopefully I'll have my own up as soon as I finish it. :D<br /><br />Teddyree,<br />See? That means we both have good tastes in books! *Wink* As if we didn't alreayd know that, right? <br />Ah, see, I knew I should never have posted that comment yesterday! Lol. Now you will hold me to it! Oh well, it's only fair. Okay, I promise to write a review for every book I bought this weekend. Which means first up is 'Catching Fire', since I'm reading that one right now.<br /><br />Wow-- okay, so 8 reviews in a week, yeah, it can sound like a lot, but, hey, on the bright side, at least the reviews don't have to be freakishly long, right? Good luck girl! If you need any help, let me know. I'm not sure what I can do to help, beside offer support, but I'm here! <br /><br /><br />Alaine,<br />Oh no! Two of you to hold me to my word? *Hands in the Air* "I give up!" LOL. But really, thanks, maybe with the two of you 'hinting', I'll stick to it! <br /><br />So here's my first goal-- to have a review for Catching Fire up by... Thursday. I think that should be enough time. Bring on the challenge! <br /><br /><br />Okie,<br />It's true-- they've been my downfall too many times to count! *SIGH*. I can relate with you-- I keep telling myself to slow down the spending, work on all the books I've got at home... and then they have to put out new releases! Those are my true downfalls! <br /><br />But I hope that you and your wife got some great books! And remember, we all need one guilty pleasure, and buying a pile of books once or month or so is a lot better than some other 'sins' out there! <br /><br /><br />Thanks everyone for commenting! Wish me luck on keeping to my Review Goal. Bug me until I get it done, you'll really be doing me a favor! :D <br /><br />Enjoy,<br />TBQThe_Book_Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530088066451745366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665081061335208089.post-85342245489337499212009-09-14T14:13:01.549-06:002009-09-14T14:13:01.549-06:00Bookstores are a downfall to my wife and I.

She wanted to stop in at BN and see if they had a book she was looking for.<br /><br />We tried to talk her out of it since at lunch all 3 of us had talked about the need to stay on a budget and not be buying any "extras" this month.<br /><br />Unfortunately (well, sort of), we went in...and came out 10 minutes later and $60 poorer, but with some great finds to show for it.Okiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393689307300304035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665081061335208089.post-80064667110377236412009-09-13T21:22:46.822-06:002009-09-13T21:22:46.822-06:00Ok TBQ, I'm here to support Teddyree's nag...Ok TBQ, I'm here to support Teddyree's nagging and ask when you are going to do your book review this week?<br /><br />I don't blame you for getting carried away, you purchased some great books!Alainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176725771593204577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665081061335208089.post-2759168672744378582009-09-13T19:44:17.980-06:002009-09-13T19:44:17.980-06:00What an awesome shopping spree.

LOL I walked out with 3 hardbacks and 4 trade paperbacks - but I was a good girl cause I got them on the marked down aisles. :)<br /><br />I just finished Catching Fire before hopping on the net and I was shocked - completely shocked. :) I hope to have my reviews posted for both The Hunger Games and Catching Fire next week. :)<br /><br />MMichelle Greathousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06175297774187025193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665081061335208089.post-54694965019493518672009-09-13T15:05:09.649-06:002009-09-13T15:05:09.649-06:00Haha!
