There's a scene where all the women are running frantically through the store grabbing w/e designer items they can get their hands on. I imagine that's what it'd be like if someone let the 3 of us loose at your dollar store, LMAO!<br /><br />♥IsalysBook Soulmateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497671301035519626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665081061335208089.post-89695456780816744432009-08-12T12:34:57.151-06:002009-08-12T12:34:57.151-06:00Oh my!

Your right-- I shouldn't have to 'd...JennJ,<br />Your right-- I shouldn't have to 'defend' my reasons for caving like this! This was a deal that anyone in their right mind would stop and take advantage of! :D <br /><br />booklover1335,<br />*Blushes* Aw, shucks, I don't know about book hero, but I'm proud to be an inspiration for book deals. ;) <br />And I think I'm going to do some sort of contest...I will be giving it away, so keep you eye out on my blog over the next month or so. If there's not a huge interest in the book, it's all yours! :) <br /><br />Amy C,<br />Exactly! And temptation is the keyword there... Notice that on regular items, like clothes, etc, I'm not huge on sales. I mean, I appreciate them as much as the next person, but I hardly think about it. But with books... Well, we'll just say the scene gets a bit ugly! ;)<br /><br /><br />Isalys,<br />Wow-- first a hero, now a rockstar? Really guys, you're going to give me a big head! :D LOL. <br />Uh-oh; If you're anywhere near as bad as I am with books, then your store, and the customers, had better clear out now! LOL. But I do hope you can find something good-- I would hate if this was only something at my local dollar store, and here I am telling everyone to go out and look for this deal! <br /><br />VFG,<br />*Instucts the group to speak all at once, like in the AA meetings* "Hello, VampFanGirl!". <br />I have to agree with you on that-- even though some of the older 'bodice ripper' romances are a bit comical now, I like reading them too. They provide a nice change after reading my usual genres, and some of them are actually really good! I laugh at the people I see in the bookstores stopping to read the summary on the back. Ha, I can't even remember the last time I did that! I usually know so many of the books on the shelves from reading the reviews about them on blogs or lusting over them on my various book sites, so that by the time I buy the book I have no doubt that it's my kind of read! :D <br />Enjoy your Dollar Store investigation-- you'll have to tell us if you find anything good! :D<br /><br /><br />Heater D,<br />ROFL! Ooh, I'll take the blame for this one, Heather! But see, look on the bright side (for your wallet, that is): At least your store didn't have the full box like mine did! But can you imagine if it had been? I'm pretty sure I'd see a post similar to mine on your own blog! :D I can see it now... after I've started this trend of 'Dollar Store Book Buys', suddenly everyone has their weekly post of what they found in the good old DS for 'dirt cheap'. :D <br /><br />I'm happy you found a few books-- and I hope you came out with your daughter's dividers as well? See, if it were me, I would have came out with the books and completely forgot about what I went in for! LOL. <br /><br />Let's just hope this is a one time thing.. because if it's not, I think I may have to have Dollar Store get a restraining order against me, just to help stop me from showing up to go through the box with every new shipment! :D <br /><br /><br />Enjoy!<br />TBQThe_Book_Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530088066451745366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665081061335208089.post-44377646258927054692009-08-11T11:45:10.167-06:002009-08-11T11:45:10.167-06:00OK TBQ, I blame this on you!!!

I was told last night that Wal Mart's truck is suppose to be there sometime today, so I figured I would stop by on my way home from the Doctor. Of course the truck had not arrived and wont be there until later. The lady told me that they unload the truck between 4 and 1am. Yep, my daughter just might be getting a 0 for a homework assignment! Anyway I figured I hadn't tried the Dollar Tree and it's right next door. <br />I am going in strictly for those darn dividers, not even thinking about your post. Low and behold right there on the school supply isle is a box with books. <br /><br />yep you got it books!! Fortunately for my wallet the box was already almost empty, but I did manage to snag three books. I couldn't believe I found a Pamela Clare book in there! <br /><br />It's all your fault TBQ!!!

Hello, my name is VampFanGirl and I'm a bodice ripper romance cover lover.<br /><br />Seriously, I don't even read the backs. I buy purely on basis of my love of the cover. I have a huge stack of them. They're my in-the-car-reads.<br /><br />Even better that you got them so feakin' cheap! Where's my nearest dollar store?? Off to investigate!<br /><br />;) VFGVampFanGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787244891094182599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665081061335208089.post-79624256083768395812009-08-10T10:39:51.385-06:002009-08-10T10:39:51.385-06:00That is awesome!!

Go for it-- I never would have imagined...Heather D,<br />Go for it-- I never would have imagined this store having those books, and I was surprised! You just never know, and maybe this could have been new full-time product for the stores. That would be nice... though not for my pile or pocketbook! LOL<br /><br /><br />Book Dragon,<br />You have no idea how realistically I just described the book encounter... Feel free to join in-- then I won't feel like they're all staring at me! :D LOL. <br /><br /><br />Rachel,<br />It was mainly the covers on those three that grabbed my attention, but the info on the back sealed the deal! :D Wild Inferno sounds really good, it's about this Southern Ute Indian Reservation and a mystery theme... <br />I've not read either one of those, but Spark's novel is on my wish list. ;) <br />You know, that's my worse nightmare. Going into a bookstore or any kind with no money and no way to get the books. Slow, deliberate torture, that's what it would be! <br /><br /><br />Anna,<br />That's all I've ever found in this one before, but I got lucky this time! LOL. All I can say is keep your eyes out next time you go into one... You never know where books could be hiding! :D <br /><br /><br />Michelle G,<br />I know-- and only a true book lover can understand and appreciate it! My aunt and cousin, who were with me at the time, are not book fans at all, and they think I'm crazy. I was telling my one friend about the deal, and she just looked at me like 'So?'. *SIGH*. But really, I got them practically for free, in comparison to what I would have paid at B&N or any other full price store! <br />Here's hoping your shopping expedition tomorrow turns out lucky like mine did! :D <br /><br /><br />Dottie,<br />Hey, I may have more bought books this week, but you had so many review requests-- I've almost forgotten what one of those are! LOL. It's been a while since I've had any for my blog, but that's okay. I've got more than enough books here to read for a year! Lol. <br />See, we can start a club together. 'How to Combat the Temptation of Books'. Think it would work? ;) <br /><br /><br />Alaine,<br />If there was, I'd be signed up! LOL. But even then, I'm pretty sure I'd fail the program. You know, drug addicts and alcoholics have their addiction of choice, and in a way, I have mine. Luckily, mine won't kill or harm my health or those around me... Unless, of course, someone tries to take a book from my hands in a store. Then it could get bloody.... <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you all for stopping by! I'm glad you enjoyed my little... escapade from yesterday! And I enjoyed reading everyone's comments, so thank you for leaving them! :D <br /><br />Have a great Sunday evening everyone, and be sure to stop by next time I have a book shopping meltdown. One never knows when it will happen again... :D <br /><br />Until Next Time,<br />TBQThe_Book_Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530088066451745366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665081061335208089.post-34165836263073834372009-08-09T16:00:09.027-06:002009-08-09T16:00:09.027-06:00LOL is there a 12 step program?LOL is there a 12 step program?Alainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176725771593204577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665081061335208089.post-52578964781279385782009-08-09T15:42:13.540-06:002009-08-09T15:42:13.540-06:00Hi TBQ!

I went to the flea market with my dad this morning and I had to get these two books Luisa's Story and a Bend In the Road by Niholas Sparks for 4.00 dollars. I also had to go to booksamillion to get a picture of Rachel Vincent's new book and it killed me not getting anything. There was so many things I wanted but I didn't have any money so I know your suffering.The Obsessive Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16945398540893442332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665081061335208089.post-65612541357278429822009-08-09T14:19:50.289-06:002009-08-09T14:19:50.289-06:00I loved your post!
