Mailbox Monday has returned home to Mailbox Monday’s site this year.
Nothing came into my actual mailbox this week. Maybe I was getting anxious about that, so I decided a trip to the used book store was in order. But when I got there, I saw the worst note on the door ever. My one and only used bookstore in my town is going out of business in April. I can’t even tell you how upset this makes me. All that leaves me with in my town is whatever I can scrounge up at the Goodwill and a big box store that I’m not particularly fond of. I. Am. Devastated. I guess I will be doing a lot more online purchasing now, but that still doesn’t help the fact that I can’t go browse at that store anymore. I can’t talk about this anymore, it’s so upsetting to me (I know, I’m a dork).
So. I loaded up with 10 new-to-me books. And I can only hope that I will get a few free hours to myself before they close so I can go back at least one more time.
Here’s what I got:
Some goodies that I’m definitely excited about. Too bad I’ve got so much reading ahead of me that I have no idea whatsoever when I will be able to get to any of these. *Sigh*
What about you, what did you get this week?
That’s some serious book loot; enjoy.
Oh no! Awful that your local is closing down. Browsing books rocks.
I hate when that happens…local bookstores are great to browse through.
What awful news! But I’m afraid as ebooks get bigger and bigger more and more bookstores are, unfortunately, going to be closing. 😦
So sad when that happens especially a favorite book store.

I’m so sorry about your bookstore! It’s a sad thing.
