Been Book Shoppin'

Now, I haven't been on here for a while; and I really must put my hand out and say I'm very sorry about this. But I haven't been reading that much.

I have been editing and writing a lot and doing some painting and learning new techniques to do with the art world lately - to do with oil paints. I've also joined the Logan Artists Association; and so I've been making sure I get myself known there. I'm also taking art classes there and have been in one art exhibition and have applied for another one next week! Woah! Now, my plate is really getting full as well as my social calendar. 

Which means I've let a few of my blogs go without any posts. I don't mean for this to happen, but it's means I've been busy enough to jump on here today and write a really great blog for you all to read.

I've been out book shopping!

Well, okay, that doesn't sound like anything out of the ordinary.

But I went out and bought NEW BOOKS! Yeah, that's so not like me, is it? Yep, I normally go for the preloved books in this world and the books that have been around the block a couple of times before I get in and read them.

Do you all remember that $50 QBD gift Voucher I received for Christmas from my folks? Well, today, I spent some of it at the Hyperdome. 
Initially, I wanted to spend it on a book which Peter Walsh just brought out in the States, but it's not out here just yet. So, I couldn't buy that... darn! So, I asked about Chuck Wendig's books. But they only had his Star Wars: AfterLife Series... double darn! So, instead of leaving the store, I went perusing the store in the search for the perfect purchases - the books I've wanted for yonks, but haven't bought because they've been too darned expensive in the past.

I came home with a David Bowie biography and this wonderful treasure! Okay, the second one isn't everyone's cup of tea or coffee, but really, I've wanted to own it for years, and I'm so happy I found it for just $14.99! The David Bowie biography was a little over $20; which leaves me with around $17.00 to play with still on the voucher. I'm so happy to have found these two books.

You know, I'd rather buy a couple of great books I really want to read,than one large purchase of a book I might not use or read. Wouldn't you? Well until my next post, happy reading.
