LOL, it seems I have so much things to say this week :D I guess it's catching up from the previous weeks when I was so quiet :D
I think I did mention it in a previous post, but if not, it doesn't matter. Basically, I bought a box and a basket last week-end to store my books, because I have no more place for my books... which wasn't any news, but especially since my book shopping spree two weeks ago, I really don't have space. I basically have books everywhere: on the floor, on my desk, my nightstand, my computer desk, my bed... simply everywhere. So I thought I could put some of the books in the box which is quite big and nice... I think I can probably fit 100 books in it! :D I think... and the basket, well it's the same material as the box, so some kind of plastic/cardboard but with no cover... I'll take pictures so you guys know what I mean... I thought I'd put my TBR pile in it... Although turns out my TBR pile is bigger than I thought and doesn't fit all in it... Anyway, I really like the box and I'm thinking of buying some more of them... but 2 problems: i) where am I going to put the box? it doesn't fit under my bed ^^; and I have no place in the closet... and ii) which books am I going to store in the boxes?!?! See, you're talking to the person who doesn't want to put her books in the basement, because it's dark, humid and my books will lonely!! So I don't know... I was thinking perhaps all my historical books... but I don't have enough to fill the box... Then, I came up with another idea! I should buy smaller boxes (like some that I could fit under my bed) and store my manga collection! That would free up some space on the shelves and I could fit more books... LOL :P But then, which series to put in the box?
See my biggest problem with putting books in box is I'm afraid the books/ppl will believe that thee books in the box are no good and that's why I'm putting them away. But it's not true! I just don't have more space. I'm weird, I know.
By the way, speaking of manga... I went and bought some yesterday. I usually go to the manga store everytime one of the series I follow is released... but this time, I waited two or three weeks, because I was too busy or lazy to go. Then, some more series came out yesterday, so I was quite happy! And there was also some missing volumes for other series that I've decided to buy... Let's just say that I came out with 10 manga ^^; and one of my friend gave me 3 volumes that I've asked her to buy in France... So I guess now, I'm really up-to-date in my book buying! LOL... So no more manga and books buying for awhile... instead, box buying!
No seriously, I think I'm pretty saturated with books buying. I did go to Indigo yesterday and nothing drew my attention... which is good no? and I'm going to Toronto to buy books in two weeks, so better not buy anything now. I've also look for boxes at Indigo, but they didn't have any... so I guess I'll hit the other Indigo close to my house later today. Oh and you know, my I-rewards card is expiring this month... the i-rewards card cost 25$/year and with it, you save 10% of every books you buy in store and 5% online... which is a very good deal :P In the past, every year close to the renewal date, I'd get a letter saying that I'd save 5$ on my renewal of the card... so although the cashiers have been asking me every time I bought books in the past month if I want to renew my membership, I said no. Cos I wanted to wait for that letter... well it finally arrived yesterday! Youppi! And on top on the letter, it says how much you've saved this year... and I think it was Chantal who asked me if the I-rewards card was worth it? Well Chantal, I've told you that yes, it was worth it... but just to prove it to you :P This year, I've saved:
333.77$
Awesome isn't it? That's about 30 books! So that means, I have 30 books on my shelves that I've actually didn't pay for! LOL :D But then, I don't want to know how much total I bought in order to save that much!
So that's all for now... I have to go do some work :D I'll definitively post a review later today :D
