I went to Chapters on the 11th of Sept and I must say I haven't paid full price for a book in quite a while because when I saw my $91 bill I felt a little faint- seriously!
[Value Village @ $4.99 is my regular haunt or those random book stores around the corner is the kind of place for someone like me who can't pass on an attractive book. I just have to OWN it. Pictures of my books coming soon.. I have to d/l to my comp.]
So, the two books I bought were ...
Debt Free Forever by Gail Vaz-Oxalde.. she is awesome! I read the entire book in one day! Highly recommended and it was 20% off!!!! sure beats the 700 over holds are the Toronto Public Library.
..and 'Life Is What You Make It' by Peter Buffett. I absolutely fell in love with the cover!! Still reading it and savouring every moment. ...and yessss.. he is the son of Warren Buffett but read the book and you shall see how family values, your sense of self, ambition and seach for the meaning of life mean more than the monertary value of the fortune you are born into. I hope to put up some sections of the book in the future! It is surely going to be a book that I will be discussing with others. Just because everyone always talks about how life is unfair and they are so underpaid.
In addition I also purchased two last copies of 2011 Organizer
One for my sister too and totally worth the money. You should recall this 'Keep Calm and Carry On' from my second blog entry (that one was about the book but the book wasnt ummm.... too much like the original WWII- completely rewritten I'd say but I do remember one of the quotes in the chapter and that went like this 'Worry Gives Small Things a Big Shadow'). You should know I am addicted to organizers. I already have about 4 for the coming years..hehe. My organizer is my life- or so my coworkers telll me!
PS: Value Village is an awesome place to shop for books. I've managed to salvage a couple of copies autographed by the authors themselves. ^__^
