Book Economy


This is what comes home when I go shopping for shoes.

Popped into a bookstore today with the intention of checking the number of pages on a girl's novel similar to Dog Show Detective. Didn't even make it to the children's section before my arms were weighed down with these finds. I couldn't help it - there was a sale, and shiny stickers and, and... Hopefully did my bit this week for the book store industry (see, owning a Kindle does not mean I buy less books).

There's a few pirate stories in there, that's to help me along when I start editing The Pirate Girl (soon, soon), and I just love thrillers, plus Emily spotted a couple of supernatural stories.... I need a year on a desert island with nothing but my books.

  2. Bookstores are like black holes for my wallet. I go in wanting a certain book and leave with at least two more I hadn't thought I would buy.
