Huge Haul...

I have been shopping at Borders a few times since my last haul post, so I have quite a few books to add to the site. I also bought a couple of books elsewhere (one at Walmart and one at Costco).

When I find all the books I bought, I will update with a very long post.

Book Haul - August 3rd, 2011

I went shopping at the mall yesterday and was surprised that the Borders was still open so I bought some more books. They were all reduced down to 20% off, plus I received an additional 10% off for being a Borders Rewards Plus member.

I tried to use my Borders Bucks that I mentioned in the last haul post, but it seems Borders no longer shows them anymore (in stores or on the website) which kind of sucked because I would have saved an additional $10.

Vixen by Jillian Larkin

Books and movies that take place in other time periods always interest me. This one takes place during the 1920s and I believe it is apart of a series.

The Lying Game by Sarah Shepard

I have the television book cover version because of the series coming to ABC Family in the future. Not entirely sure what it is about but I figured why not.

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg

I didn't even know this was a book until I saw a ChapterChicks video on YouTube. I enjoy the movie and like to read the novel to see the comparisons between the two.

  

Book Haul - August 1st, 2011

Since I now own a Kobo, I figured I would buy some eBooks for it. Also, Kobo had emailed me a couple of promo codes to use which gave me around 10% off each purchase.

The good and bad side of Kobo is you can only purchase one eBook at a time (since they don't have a shopping cart on the website).
Also, because I live in Canada, some eBooks aren't available to me (at least not on the Kobo website). Luckily, I downloaded Adobe Digital Editions which allows you to add eBooks from other sites to the Kobo.

Lost Voices by Sarah Potter

Honestly, the cover alone made me want to check this one out. It is so pretty plus the book itself is about mermaids, which always interests me.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

I really wasn't sure what this one was about until I saw a review from ChapterChicks about it. The actual book itself contains pictures used within the story so I am not sure if those are included in the eBook version or not.

The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting

I had never heard of this until I saw a Mailbox video from ChapterChicks. The plot of the book sounded really interesting so I figured I would check it out.

I still have $10 in Borders Bucks to use from Borders but since it doesn't apply to eBooks, I will probably end up getting a regular book sent. I normally get free shipping but for some reason, it wasn't working for me earlier.
