Her Life, in a Bookshelf...

Been busy reading tons of fanfic lately, need to catch up on my hardcopy books.

So much Dexter love!!!!!!!!

I've decided that Manhattan is very bad for my book buying budget.  Between the Borders at Madison Square Garden and Midtown Comics, I end up spending a small fortune when I am in the city.

Borders tends to be the worst culprit.  It's right next to Penn Station, and I have a habit of arriving in town a while before everyone else.  How could a book addict pass up the temptation that is two floors of wonderful books?  It's almost become routine: Get off the train, text everyone to let them know I am in town and will be in Borders, go next door and spend a while browsing the Sci-Fi/Fantasy section downstairs, then head upstairs to the Young Adult section.  If I'm there early enough, I'll have breakfast in the coffee shop upstairs while I read my purchases.  I can almost never walk out of there without buying something. (Today doesn't count, since although I walked out without any purchases when I arrived in the city, I stopped back in before catching the train home to buy some that had caught my eye earlier)

Midtown Comics is almost as bad, but thankfully I don't end up there as often as Borders.  Most of the time I'm just grabbing a comic, but today was an exception.  I went in just to get the new Supernatural Origins comic, and ended up snagging the next four books in the Lucifer series.  Bonus: several of them are signed copies, woot!

I now need to hold off on my hideously large Amazon shopping list for a while to let my bank account recover from today's spree.
