I haven't read their column before, I'll have to see if I can't find an online archive! I really liked the part of the book I read awhile back. I think I'll start it over.Aleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793307292393570181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13444541.post-34878835003617135672008-07-20T17:53:00.000-05:002008-07-20T17:53:00.000-05:00I don't have any "I shouldn't have ..." confession...I don't have any "I shouldn't have ..." confessions; I guess I'm not feeling too guilty about this week's additions :)<BR/><BR/>*Freakonomics* is such a great book.

I wonder if we have any that are the same. I only showed what I literally got this week. <BR/><BR/>Sabrina- Hey! You probably should, I have too many! While I was there I thought hmm wonder if they have any copies of Flowers in the Attic, looked down at a stack of books and there it was! Pretty awesome!<BR/><BR/>J. Kaye- They are sitting on the floor right now whoops, no where for them to go!<BR/><BR/>Icecream- Thanks for visiting! I have read Notaro's, The Idiot Girl's Action Adventure Club and I think a tiny bit of I Love Everybody. I've collected a lot of her books I have that horrible problem of buying way more than I can read. Someday someday!<BR/><BR/>Bookfool- Thank you for visiting as well! I did have a fun weekend! Which ARC's did you get? I know, my books are about to burst out of my room. Bookmooch is helping though, except for me mooching myself...<BR/><BR/>Cheryl- You must be in the Library Thing ARC Junkie's group, I didn't request those but I noticed people saying they got them this week! I always become interested in the books other people request after the fact, not sure why I'm not right away. I guess that's how you know the reviews work!<BR/><BR/>Ambeen- That is too bad. Every few months just make a special day trip out there. Have a nice lunch. Go to some other bookstores. That's what I do, and the two stores I go to are only like 20-30 minutes away. I like making an event out of it!Aleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793307292393570181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13444541.post-52756547621847101982008-07-20T16:33:00.000-05:002008-07-20T16:33:00.000-05:00Wow, that's awesome.

Wowee, ...I saw your comment at J.Kaye's blog, too. Wowee, you had a fun week! I got two ARCs and one library sale book (The Debut by Anita Brookner). Even better, I got rid of several on Paperback Swap -- need to work on weeding a bit, here, so I can get some new pretties and not feel guilty. :) <BR/><BR/>Have fun reading!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13444541.post-13362254106514036002008-07-20T11:47:00.000-05:002008-07-20T11:47:00.000-05:00I saw your comment on J.Kaye's blog and had to che...I saw your comment on J.Kaye's blog and had to check out what you got! LOL Wow, there are some great books in that stack! I saw you have Laurie Notaro's book "We Thought You Would Be Prettier", I love Notaro- I am always laughing out loud when I read her books. My favorite is "I Love Everybody and Other Atrocious Lies". Have you read Notaro before?Icedreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06343443042875160203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13444541.post-60097182013445442792008-07-20T08:25:00.000-05:002008-07-20T08:25:00.000-05:00What a neat pile of books!
