Category: Meme-Books Bought

Books Bought is a weekly/monthly or whenever you buy books meme that I am hosting.

I broke my no book buying promise this week and it was only because I have been stressed alot this week. With Michael going into grade 1, buying school supplies and then the whole issue with his school bus after school has pushed me to the breaking point.

@sensitivemuse said this when I made the comment about it not being a good idea to go shopping when I am stressed “book shopping when stresses heals the soul ;)” Thats a good thing right? It might be a good thing for the soul but not the wallet or bank account.

Anyways this is what I bought this week, what did you buy?

-Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink (Pub Date: August 1/09)
-Viola in Reel Life by Adriana Trigiani (Pub Date: September 1/09)
-The Hollow by Jessica Verday (Pub Date: September 1/09)

If you would like to take part just leave a comment in this post letting me know and I will go and check it out.

Books Bought is a meme that I am hosting here on Cindy’s Love of Books. The purpose of the meme is to list any books you physically have bought either weekly, monthly etc.

Physically bought books can be books you either bought at a friends of the library sale, yard sale, used book store etc. as long as you bought them

As you might have noticed I haven’t bought anything for a little while now and I was doing okay but then this past week I had the urge to go book shopping. I tried to put it off but I couldn’t. I am weak. I hate to admit it but for me book shopping is like an addiction and you need to have your fix and that is my case. I am actually surprised that I managed to go this long without buying anything. I am hoping that the next time will be a month later from today.

Anyways Thursday night Donna/Books Bound, her daughter and myself headed to chapters to do a little shopping. I think a little shopping would be a understatement, not on my part though. The person shall remain nameless. LOL

For Michael I bought:
-Horrid Henry’s Stinkbomb
-Horrid Henry and the Soccer Fiend
-Horrid Henry and the Mummy’s Curse
-Horrid Henry and the Scary Sitter
-Horrid Henry’s Christmas
-Horrid Henry’s Underpants

Horrid Henry’s books are all by Francesca Simon. They are for ages 7-10. Michael loves reading them and we always laugh when we read them.

For myself I bought:
-The Dangerous Days of Daniel X by James Patterson (This is the first book in the series for YA)
-Confessions of a teen nanny #1 by Victoria Ashton
-Confessions of a teen nanny: Rich Girls #2 by Victoria Ashton (this was on sale for $5.39)
-Confessions of a teen nanny: Juicy Secrets #3 by Victoria Ashton (this was on sale for $5.39)
-Love at first click by Elizabeth Chandler
-Company’s Coming: School Days Lunches by Jean Pare. (I was happy when I found this one as these cookbooks are always expensive and I managed to get it for $6.29 CAN)

What books did you buy this week?

Books Bought Meme is a weekly (or basically whenever you buy books) meme that you share with your readers the books you bought. You list the books that you physically bought and paid for. They can be books you bought online, at any kind of store, yard sales, library sales etc..you get the idea.

If you want to take part you can use the image on the left hand side and leave a comment in the weekly Books Bought post and I will head over and check out the goodies you bought.

This will be a first for me, I actually bought NO books this week. The reason I didn’t buy any books was because I was on vacation and I was in Lake George, NY and I couldn’t find a book store and if any stores had books they were just paper backs on a spiral rack and it was stuff I had already.

This past week I have made myself a promise to start cutting back on my book buying and try to limit myself to perhaps buy a book or two (probably more, LOL knowing me) monthly. I think being away from my house made me realize that when I came back I have way too many books that I really need to read first.

So yea I will attempt to restrain myself. Please feel free to remind me if you see me posting weekly that I bought books.

Books Bought is a weekly meme that I host here on my blog. If you want to take part please leave a comment with your link and I will be sure to check out your books you bought. I love hearing about new and old books. So please share what you got.

Here is the books I bought this week (July 19th to 25th)
