dare I admit that there was another trip to Borders

Don't mock Russell. I encouraged him this time.

The Monday-Wednesday special this week was buy six, save an extra 10%, buy 8, save an extra 15%. It seemed like a good deal (provided the liquidator made good on it, unlike the last time) so we decided that Russell should go on a reconnaisssance and possible shopping mission today.

Russell made out pretty well and reported that it wasn't busy at all. He didn't even have to wait in line!

For me:

• Bumped by Megan McCafferty (I've been dying to read this one)
• Delirium by Lauren Oliver (on my 2011 challenge reading list assigned by Jessica)
• Encounter by Milan Kundera (to complete my collection; I own everything Kundera's written that's available in English)
• The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey (because I'm not a fan of Simon & Schuster at the moment; see why)

For Russell:

• Colonel Roosevelt by Edmund Morris
• The Complete Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi
• Triumph Forsaken: the Vietnam War, 1954-1965 by Mark Moyar

For both of us:

• Forbidden Island (a board game)

Yes, that's a total of eight items. And, yes, we did get an extra 15% off.
