I can live with it, I guess, especially since it's not like I'm lacking for books to read until it comes in... Now, there was this one time I was in there, last year, trying to pre-order a bunch of books that weren't due to be out for a while, and let me tell you, that was the one day where I was prepared, and very, very tempted, to jump down the clerk and manager's throats, in front of the whole store, and not even care. Now, I'm a very quiet person, I'd like to say I'm very kind too, and I don't like to yell at people because a service/product I ask for isn't perfect. I usually try to work around the problem by talking with them, not screaming profanities at them. But this one day, I came about *this* close to doing so... ARGH. I won't go into details, but the clerk had no right to work anywhere besides maybe the cafe cleaning up the table...<br /><br />Moving on! Lol. <br /><br />Exactly-- the days when I would love to be able to go bookshopping, I wish my B&N (or even Borders) was closer. But in the same breath, if they were, I know I'd definitely be bankrupt by now! LOL. And possibly living in the shed while the books took over all free space in my house. And I love the way you described it, 'Booklover heaven or hell, guess it depends if it is my TBR or my credit card.'-- That's about the truth of it! <br /><br />Your right-- really, my 'obsession' could be for something much worse, and it is only one thing, which brings me joy on top of all that, so I shouldn't feel too guilty. ;) <br /><br />Enjoy,<br />TBQThe_Book_Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530088066451745366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665081061335208089.post-35422318556286641752009-07-12T18:27:36.983-06:002009-07-12T18:27:36.983-06:00Hey TBQ,

They should have at least offered to mail it to you at no charge....grrr.<br /><br />Just be glad that you don't live closer to BN. They just built a new one by me which is about 15 miles away, and if that is not bad enough Borders is just a mile down from them. Booklover heaven or hell, guess it depends if it is my TBR or my credit card.<br /><br />Here's me wishing you not to have better luck next time. There are few real joys in this world why deny one of yours :)Booklover1335https://www.blogger.com/profile/00349830659777131549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665081061335208089.post-32403275964085212042009-07-12T12:42:57.341-06:002009-07-12T12:42:57.341-06:00Blanche--

And I love that excuse-- blame it on the car, why don't you! (Glances out the window) Come to think of it, my car has been having these odd symptoms lately, wanting to swerve in the middle of the road if it sees a bookstore.... Hm, maybe I'll borrow your excuse! Lol. <br /><br />Thanks. Finished one already, Wicked: Resurrection. Good book, love this series. Review (hopefully!) to come soon...<br /><br />Enjoy,<br />TBQThe_Book_Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530088066451745366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665081061335208089.post-25168362576592591682009-07-12T00:42:13.987-06:002009-07-12T00:42:13.987-06:00Oh TBQ!!

Actually I can be in the bookstore and at the register with 5 or 10 books before I realize what I am doing.......it is a sickness! LOL My car drives me to the bookstores automatically.......I'm blaming the car!!<br /><br />You did get some great books though! :)Blanchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14537639881370998817noreply@blogger.com
