Done my part...

[j_cheney]

...to support our niche of the economy. I bought books. More books....

I purchased samhenderson's Heaven's Bones and scbutler's Reiffen's Choice (and a subscription to Smithsonian....can't get by without that!)

When am I going to have time to read these?

Have I finished the influenza book yet? Much less the stack of non-fic still waiting? And my greatly anticipated Lone Star Stories Reader? And the 3 Deborah Crombie mysteries I have backlogged? Plus all the Ian Rankin I promised myself I would get to eventually? My issues of Black Gate?

::sighs::

Do your part. Go buy some books.

ETA: I had to re-check my library book today, too. I've read that book, but most rescan it.

I need to hit up the Barnes and Noble here. In the past week, I've bought the new Stephen King book on Kindle, Ordered a short story collection from Sci Fi book club, and found 7 books in a used book store (not to mention the huge stack I brought home from WFC), but I have yet to walk into a brick and mortar retail store and just pick up something new.

Buying books is never a problem for me! Reading them, yeah, well, I tend to buy more than I can read in a goodly while, which is why I have books I've bought years ago that I haven't read yet (and still intend to read).

Are you still waiting to receive your copy of The Lone Star Stories Reader, Jeannette?

Ah, books... I think I used my quota at WFC, to be honest--and I'm under a buying moratorium for the pre-Christmas period (an idea of relatives who became tired of the fact that I owned every gift they could think of).
But come January... *rubs hands in anticipation*

But then us authors would use that year to write MORE books! (grin)

It never ends.

I bought two books yesterday. David Baldacci's Stone Cold, and the Audacity of Hope by our President Elect. With the economy such as it is and with the holidays fast approaching the book budget is kinda small right now.

The economy and I thank you!
