Shopping Trip- Where the only receipt we had was for the legal drugs..

Jaion and  I got to hang out for a couple of hours, and we went shopping for 4 hours. After staring and commenting on numerous bookcases at Barnes and Noble:

The books recommended to me by Jaion that I have to, have to, have to, read:

Little Brother by Cory Doctorow

North of Beautiful by Justina Chen Headley~Yes, the title looks girly teenagey romance thang, but apparently we must not judge books by their cover..

http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=bookrevi03a-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=0316025062&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr

Catch-22 by Joseph Heller~A utopian novel, that apparently I must read otherwise die.

Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver~ Another girly teenagey romancey cover, but supposedly interesting concept.

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley ~another utopian (Jaion likes those- i’m not sure about them)

And we found:

Bordertown by Holly Black and Ellen Kushner~ A collection of poems, songs and short stories by a lot of really famous authors about a cool bordertown between the realms of humans and elves.

Shipbreaker by Paolo Bacigalupi~ Whoo. Last name.

Then went to a get a coffee (LEGAL DRUGS). Fun shopping, eh? We even got to fit in clothes shopping towards the end! 

~It’s a shame bookstores are going out of business, but trees give great hugs.
