Happy Buy a Book day!

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. :/

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!
