Almost the weekend

I made it through the city trip. The boys and I did lunch for under $30 so that was good. We hit the first big bookstore. It ws my first time in there. For a book lover like myself it's simply amazing and overwhelming. I just can't believe how many different books are out there. People may not like to read, but you can't tell me in a store that size, there isn't something of interest for everyone in there.

I did well. I didn't find the book I wanted there. My sons each got the books they were looking for, paid for with their own money. It's good for them to have practice with money handling and spending. Even just the mechanics of being at the cashier on their own is a good experience for them.

We jetted to the older, smaller (but still good sized) bookstore and I learned the book I want is out of stock and en route to being out of print. The store wouldn't get getting any more of them in. Now granted if I were to journey to another city there's a good chance it could be there, but I wasn't willing to take a chance, given how rarely I go places.

I came home and found it on amazon.ca so I ordered from there. Should be here in a week or so.

I also had hit a used bookstore in the city and got 2 novels I'd been looking for, used. All told three books cost me under $30. There goes my spending money for the week LOL

I haven't bought books in ages, let alone three in one day. Such a wild girl I am lmao
