Category: Meme-Books Bought

Books Bought is a meme that I am hosting. Its a fun and easy meme. If you want to take part all you have to do is grab the button and leave me a comment letting me know that you are taking part.

You can do this meme whenever you buy books either weekly, monthly etc.

I told myself that I really need to ease up on my book buying this year seeing that I will be going to New York in May to attend BEA and I really want to go and visit The Strand.

I went into Chapters to return a book I bought and only realized at the cash that I didn’t have my receipt with me. I was able to still return the book for a store credit. Of course I had to make the trip worth while so I headed into the new releases but didn’t find anything so I checked out the YA and picked up:

-Betrayals by Lili St. Crow (This is book 2 in the series)
-Suite Scarlett by Maureen Johnson (This is the first book)
-Very LeFreak by Rachel Cohn (This one sounded really good when I heard about it)

This is what I bought what did you get?

Hey this is the first Books Bought post for the year.

Books Bought is a meme that I am hosting here on Cindy’s Love of Books.

If you want to take part all you have to do is list the books you have physically bought in a week, every two weeks or whenever. Just leave a comment in this post if you are taking part so that I know and can check out what you bought.

As for me I haven’t bought any books this week. I have been avoiding Chapters because they are always busy before Christmas.

What did you buy this week?

Books Bought is a meme that I have been hosting for several months here on Cindy’s Love of Books. The purpose of this meme is to share with you the books I buy and for you to do the same.

If you want to take part please feel free to do so. I love seeing what everyone buys. Yes I am curious. I am the kind of person who is always looking around to see that others are buying when I am in a store.

This is what I bought this week they are all birthday presents.

-The Day The Falls Stood Still by Cathy Marie Buchanan. This was released August 2009 (I bought this one myself.)

-Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan. PUB DATE: March 2009

-Deadly Little Secret by Laurie F. Stolarz. PUB DATE: Nov 17th 2009 (this is the paper back edition)

Have you read these yet?

What did you pick up this week or lately?

This year marks the 32nd Annual Salon Du Livre in Montreal. The event runs from November 18th to 23rd.

To describe Salon du livre is hard to put into words. Its like one massive bookstore. All kinds of french publishers and distributors gather in one huge exhibit hall and sell their books. They bring in their authors for signings and have conferences. I guess it would be sorta like BEA although I am not sure as I have never been to BEA.

This was the first year that I have gone to Salon du livre. Michael had a ped day today so we drove to the local metro (subway), parked the car and took the metro (subway) to the venue. Since Michael was under the age of 12 he got in free and that left me having to pay. I realized that on the way out that they were stamping your hand so you could back in that day you visited.

This was the booklet they handed out. Inside there was a map of the area and where all the vendors were situated, a schedule of appearances that were taking place over the six days, a list of vendors, articles and interviews.

When we got onto the exhibit floor it was overwhelming to see all the vendors set up and people. Every inch of the floor was covered.

The first place we headed was to the Scholastic Canada booth because Nikole a rep that I work with was going to be there. We spoke briefly on the phone before going there and I let her know that I was going to be there.

I got to meet and talk with Nikole for quite a bit and it was really interesting to talk to her. She was like an old friend. I always tend to be nervous when I speak to someone for the first time but there was no nervousiness. It was an absolute pleasure to finally meet her and Michael was thrilled to have met the lady who sends him the books.

We talked about everything from FTC, blogging, BEA (sadly Nikole isn’t going but I really think she should go 😉 LOL) books and a whole lot more. I am really looking forward to working with her in the future.

This is what I bought there:
-#03 Geronimo Stilton: Cat & Mouse in a Haunted House
-#12 Geronimo Stilton: Merry Christmas Geronimo!
(Those were for Michael)
-Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. This was one of the books we talked about.

It was so hard to be standing in front of the English display section because they had all the books I want to read such as the Bones Series, Malise, Shiver and a few other graphic novels. I was good and only bought the books I mentioned. It helped that I didn’t have any extra cash, debit card or credit cards on me.

It was a great day and I am happy that I went.
