The Borders Haul

My reward for working and studying was a trip to Borders in search of the Dean/Devon/Pillow anthology, Taming Him, and Kathleen O'Reilly's Blaze book. Borders didn't have the O'Reilly book on the shelves -- February category books were out. According to their computer, it was still in the store, but no one could find it. It wasn't shelved under O'Reilly, wasn't with the other categories, wasn't in the back waiting to be stripped or shipped back to Harlequin or whatever they do to unsold category books. Taming Him was in stock though.
My bag o' books ended up holding:
- Taming Him
- Living to Tell the Tale (already have this is Spanish, but I wanted an English copy, too. Plus, it was only $5.99 for a hardback copy)
- Sanctuary, the 4th 1-800-Where-R-U book, which was the only one I couldn't find an e-version or used copy of
- Posner's The Little Book of Plagiarism
- Voltaire's Candide and The Maid of Orleans
- Poetry of W.B. Yeats (the sale table, I can't resist a book for $1.99)
- Hershey: Milton S. Hershey's Extraordinary Life of Wealth, Empire and Utopian Dreams -- neither authorized nor sponsored by The Hershey Company
I had a half dozen other books in my hands, but put them back.
