Happy Buy a Book day!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I usually use my public library, but as it was Buy a Book day (7 September), I went down to Barnes & Noble and browsed and got this. This is the second in a series of mysteries with protagonist Nanette Haynes, a black female street performer, by Charlotte Carter. I enjoyed Rhode Island Red, the first in the series, in which Nanette gets mixed up in a case about a famous saxophone in New York City. In this second book, she goes to Paris. I much prefer hard copy books to ebooks and I prefer free books at the library to buying them; however, I wanted to celebrate the day by making a purchase. I was also tempted by a Edgar Allan Poe Tarot Deck, but, alas I shall have to wait until Buy a Tarot Deck day. :/

If it's buy a book day, I'll have to treat myself to something on Amazon (since it's 10:51pm and I can't really go to the store!)

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Sure. Why not? 😁

I treated myself to Papyrus, on Kindle (and the irony did make me laugh out loud I must admit), and paperback copies of The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity and After the Ice: A Global Human History, 20,000 - 5000 BC. I am currently not stalking the Amazon delivery driver until he brings my books, not at all!

Yeah, I love the irony, too. Heee! Hope your books arrived shortly.

That's a great book cover!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Yes! It's fun, no?

Wait, it was Buy A Book Day and nobody told me?

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Ha, ha! This is the list I use to find my 'theme' days. I pick the ones that interest me. :)

Was away on the day but I've now ordered 3 second hand books relevant to my tour, although my TBR pile is looking hazardous, and the latest E C R Lorac arrived yesterday. Oh, and I chose a couple of Penguin modern classics crime and espionage to go on the pre-order list. Hopefully that makes up for missing the day.

Ha, ha! I think you've done your part :)
