I mentioned yesterday that I’ve been doing a lot of reading about books on resume writing. Not the most fun reading mind you but it meant I could make a little visit to Barnes & Noble. On my last several visits to the store I keep seeing the tables with all the after Christmas sales and I never really look at what’s on them thinking it’s all Christmas related stuff but a couple of new tables caught my eye this time.

The tables of items with the blue stickers had a sign over them announcing that you could buy three blue sticker items for $4.98 and so I started digging around. The first find was a book tote with this image. I’ve got lots of book totes but a Bookgirl can’t have enough of them. One for library trips, one for bookstore trips, etc.

My other two finds were Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris and The Dead Hour by Denise Mina. I’ve read a Mina book before and found it to be a good thriller so hopefully this one will be too. Of course now I want to go to a different B&N and see if they are also having a sale. Who knows what other goodies I’ll find.

Plus I noticed that they also had their Classics on sale, buy two and get one free, and now I wish I had bought a couple. Especially as I’ve started collecting their editions. See, I have to go again right?

We are back online at Casa Bookgirl although now I need to take in my MacBook to get a fan looked at. Is Mercury retrograde or something? Ah, well, it’s just nice to be back so I look forward to catching up with everyone soon.

I didn’t get as much reading done after all because I’ve been spending time perusing books with titles like Best Resumes Ever. Writing a resume is really not a lot of fun. And where exactly does the blog mention go? (just kidding).

Anyway, I am this close to finishing Great Expectations. It’s been well, a great read. I’ve enjoyed it a lot save for a lull there in the middle of the book but made it through that and I should finish it tonight. Oh and actually over the weekend I did finish An Incomplete Revenge by Jacqueline Winspear. Another wonderful entry in the Maisie Dobbs series. I promise more details on that coming up.

Hope everyone has been reading a lot of great stuff. I want to hear all about it.
